Orange Box.  Includes, HL2, Episode 1, Epsode 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2.

http://www.playsyde.com/stream_2962_en.html Look into Episode 2.

You'd be doing yourself a disfavor for not buying this, and in stark contrast with  most PC gamers I'm glad it's coming to consoles.  More people can experience the greatness then. 

Enjoy.

Black is for PC, orange is for Consoles.  No difference I believe, just the name and color.

Heck, I'm buying that on 360 just to see what achievements they've got for portal.

And those vorgunaunt attacks in the trailer are amazing.

I wonder if HL2 will have a full 1000 points, and if each episode and portal will have around 200 each?

Donkey_Puncher
Well, according to a recent interview I've read up on HL2 for the PS3/360 versions was that he laughed about how EA was complaining because VALVe was putting "too much game" in a single package. :lol: So maybe that isn't entirely out of the question for there to be additional achievements available for the sub-games, too. :) If I didn't already own HL2 and Episode one on computer, I'd probably get it on the Xbox 360 for all the content and the graphical/A.I. updates. And I'd wish that I could at least preorder Episode Two on Steam already. :cry:

Too much content?  ha.

I'll probably get it for the 360 for achievments, sounds dumb but I'm addicted already. 

Did they say if the game is being retro fitted with HDR and self shadowing?

Donkey_Puncher
From what I've read, it's my understanding that the console versions will have the retrofitting in place, with HDR, self-shadowing, and (from the looks of things), the improved A.I. that would be introduced in Episode Two through the original game as well.
What is TFC? HL: Orange is one of the reasons I'm considering a 360.Jandurin
TFC = Team Fortress Classic, one of the various mod games that are available if you own at least Half Life 1 on computer. HL2: Episode Two is supposed to include the official Team Fortress 2 (its spiritual revival), as well as Portal, which started out as a student project of all things. Though I guess with the computer version, you can have the best of all worlds, because there's also Fortress Forever, which was a fan-based project to bring TFC to the Source Engine and help build it up. The beauty is that in the interviews I've read, it seems that even though VALVe and the mod team are aware of each other's implementations of it, their goals allow them to mutually co-exist, because the two will basically behave as different 'flavors' of TFC. Fortress Forever will follow the 'serious' attempts the original followed, where the more light-hearted, but still action-plenty of TF2 from VALVe will allow the two games to be the same at the core, but feel and play differently... and stay fun to boot.

Not to mention Black Mesa Source as well. A true remake of the original with the Source Engine.

And Goldeneye: Source, too. But I'd still wish that VALVe would provide some kind of optional download for those of us that did buy the episodes to have the engine 'retrofit' the visual/A.I. upgrades to the original game. Compared to Episode One, the original HL2 appears dated as a result. :(

I have HL2 and CC:S.. but for some odd reason I want it for the 360 just because the voice chat and unified friend codes would add a lot of depth to TF2.

I'm getting the Black Box, because I'm also getting the Valve Complete Pack (and thus don't need HL2).

HL2 does look dated after EP: 1, HDR added much more than I thought.  I'm sure that a download or Steam update will come eventually though.

I'm pretty sure they will sell a lot of this stuff over Steam, individually. That's how I will buy it. I only interested in Episode 2 right now. Maybe Portal...

Oh, boy, that's exactly my dilemma. I dunno if get in for PC (most likely will) cus I've played half lif on PC and I feel like it's better there, though I like consoles more than PC, but I guess I'd lean to the PC ver. because of the mods.

[QUOTE="Jandurin"]So, the order is ... Team Fortress, Team Fortres Classc[sic], and then Team Fortress 2 (soon to be). I've seen the vids for TF2. It looks pretty fantastic.

Yea, that's pretty much how it goes as far as official games. Whether you want to add Fortress Forever is up to you, though. :)

Here's the thing, most people who are looking forward to it on PC already have HL2 and EP1, so they're going to get the black box.  However, I must admit it's a good deal for those who don't have the games yet.

Half Life 2 Ep. 2
Team Fortress 2
Portal
Half Life 2 Deathmatch?


Black Box:

Portal
Team Fortress 2
