Yeah. Damn. Valve must've spent all their money on the games, that they didn't have any left to pay a graphic designer. Eesh.

That looks pretty fake. It would be awesome if they had the game in an orange case with just the HL symbol on it.

I'm pretty sure it's final. It says TeamXbox because I got it from TeamXbox.

I believe as the best value package of all time, next to the StarCraft Battle Chest of course, this is a forgivable trade-off. So long as there are no sacrifices made fitting it all on one DVD9, i'm very happy.

Hmmm, the box art hints at a copy of lode runner packaged in as well.

Valve makes bad boxart because they sell everything through Steam...

no boxart needed on Steam.

That is truly the worst box art I've seen.

Yeah, hahaha. That's pretty bad.

But, it's what's on the inside that counts.

I'd rather have an excellent game (in this case a compilation of sorts) with horrible box art than a horrible game with excellent box art.

Its a placeholder not the final box art...

EDIT* I guess it might be final

but I really don't care about box art ....I used to care when I was 8 before there were review site and the only thing I knew about a game was how cool the box looked

I have waited so long to play Half-Life 2 since my PC sucks. Now that I'm getting a new one, not even this box art (which is just awful) will deter me when it releases.

I would buy a game called Poop Life without even looking at the back of the box.

I think they made the box art so horrendous that you'll have no other choice but buy it through steam.
