Orange Box on 360 - Number 3 on Gamerankings.

Yes, yes, I know it won't stay there, necessarily.

My point is this: How long before the Wii or the PS3 get a game that stays on there (I believe TP was on there for a time).

I mean, this game (OB) knocked Bioshock (360 version) off of the top 10 list at GR.

Thoughts? Feelings?

Shall I just wait?

I want to know what happened to Super Mario 64, why did it mysteriously disappear from the list? It seems like it only has 19 reviews counting towards it.. yet not too long ago i remember it being up there, did GR decide to not count one of those review sources!? BAH an injustice! this game deserves its recognition more then, say the ps2 port of resi 4(ya, good game.. but both up there on the top 10 over Mario 64?!).

Anyways..

yes, as was stated Twilight Princess was on the top. In fact, it held #1 for a short while before dropping to #2 if i remember correctly. Then it slowly dropped to 3 and so on before eventually settling in at 24 or something, the highest ranked game this gen before bioshock came out.

As for OB gamerankings success. I'm not sure i particularly care for it. It's an excellent collection of games, but it's just that.. a collection of games. Each game is quite good, and given that its 59.99, it makes each games short length and flaws less noticable.. given that the collectionasa whole has a decent amount of hours in it. but still, the impact and awe alot of the other games on the top 10 brought for their time is something else. Episode 2 is good, but its just more of the same; as for hl2 and ep 1, we'ev seen them both before(in hl2's case multiple times).. as for TF2, it'sexactly TFC with some substance removed, a pretty art style, and better balancing..but it lacks diversity and suffers from terrible lag issues. Then there is portal, a truelly excellent game and one of the reasons i only said that i don't particularlycare for its place in the top 10, rather then outright saying i find it ridiculous. Portal is quite good, and unique. It'sgot some great humour and interesting challenges, but itscriminally short. Overall,I harboured the same feelings towards bioshock, and was glad to see it drop off.. but i honestly believe, despite how fun and amazing it is, that its not top 10 worthy.

I'd like to think mario galaxy will be good enough that it deserves a place in the top 10.

Spore will get to #1 and stay there forever.DireToad

The 360 rulesth2

Mario Galaxy may have a good chance to on the wii... It all depends on how the reviewers are feeling about the Wii (Wii games never get all good/ all bad reviews, they are always a mixed bag) and on the ps3 I'd hazard a guess and say MGS4.Shazenab

SMG and MGS4 are the two possibilities I can think of. Final Fantasies don't seem to be in the top 40, and MGS2 is number 16.

SM64 would be in the top 10, number 4, I believe, if it got one more review, 19 is not enough you need 20 nowadays.

Actually it has already been out for a week and there have only been 21 reviews of it so if it keeps the reviews down it damn well might stay there.

Portal was the only reason why I like OB... Iv played HL2 and EP1 and EP2 was great but nothing new or exciting and TF2 is the same old same old TF but less of what made me like the original.

Check out this review it should show you how actual HL2 Fans feel about The OB. CLICK HERE!

Something must dethrone Ocarina, no matter what it is.Mortortex

Unfortunately, those reviews came at a time when there were a lot less review sites. And, that game was really good at its release.

AS to SM64, it does appear that it only is counting 19... I feel like it used to have more? Maybe something was discredited indeed.

I don't have it yet. Should I buy it?musicalmac

Portal was fun, but not worth it alone. I haven't put enough time into TF2 to determine its absolute worth, as I don't have the Gold account until November 1st.

HL2 is starting out pretty decent. It will probably be well worth 60 dollars by the time I've played everything on the disc.

Have you played HL2?

Thats funny, considering the PC version is a lot better :P

edit: Wierd... OB PC doesn't show up on the chart, even tho it averages 97% (higher then the 360 score)

it has to have a total of at least 20 reviews. THe PC version is like at 15 reviews while the 360 is at 21.

meh portal was lame, played it for 4 mins, Half Life 2, played it for like 2 hrs (cant believe people think its one of the best FPS ever) and TF2 man that game owns everything, already spent nearly 10 hrs

give portal a little more time. Unless it makes you get motion sickness. It's fun, and the end is definitely worth it.

Hmm. Perhaps I will get this. Maybe it would be good for Christmas? Yes?musicalmac

Orange Box is awesome. So yeah, now or Christmas, just buy it!

Damn straight, and by 360 standards, it deserves to be there.skrat_01

I don't know if that was meant to be intentionally funny but I'm laughing. Lmao.

yeah it made me sick lol my head was spinning after 4 mins of play so i saved and quit, ill probably play it again sometime later....right now i am TF2 addict and just cant play anything else

[QUOTE="Jandurin"] as I don't have the Gold account until November 1st. DireToad

I ordered it off Amazon for 39.99, but, that means I have to wait for it to be delivered... so I can enter a damned code into my console. They are SHIPPING me a code. Stupid Amazon and MS. They should just deliver it to my e-mail.

Oh, you can change the results to top 10-50, I think, but 10 is the base.

I'm getting old and the brain begins to addle little.:P

I heard this game makes people suffer from motion sickness...tryfe_lyn

Anyway, there's one bit in level 18 that I had to stop thinking about for a second because it was... somewhat sickening.

Was it the one with all the high platforms?

In terms of content, I would go for Orange Box since it is a package, where BioShock is one single game. I love Half Life, but haven't played BioShock yet. Either way, I can garantee you that OB is GREAT value for money :)

So how does the 360 version beat the pc version?

That one was pretty fun...but I am stuck on the next one. I tried for about 10 minutes to get past the first section but I couldnt get the ball in that hole...so I just played some Halo 3 with my friends. Maybe when I get off of work I will try it again...but have you done it yet? Any tips? Ok, lunch is over, see you guys later.

I just meant that even if you didn't play the other games on the disk (which would be a shame), Portal is a completely enjoyable experience..heretrix

Though, I think HL2 + episodic content > Bioshock.
