So I'm gonna go with 9.6. IMO its probably the best deal you could ever hope for. You get 5 games, 3 of them brand new, a rerelease of one of the best PC games ever and its episodic sucessor. What could be better? If they added Half-Life: Source to the mix, but thats okay. And you get this all for $50 (60 if you're buying 360 or PS3). Better than Halo this year? I think so. I would much rather play TF2 than Halo online any day.
[QUOTE="mikemil828"]All I can say is if the OB gets a 10 all the halo fanboys are owned.nivet14
How?
Because the halo fanboys have been for years dissing Half-Life say its a lousy game and so forth, also they have been going on over the past couple weeks saying that the 'Big Daddy' (which for some reason means Halo) simply cannot be touched score wise despite the fact that Halo 3 wasn't even the first game this year to get a 9.5. The Orange box getting a 10 will make them hush up quite nicely.
I'm not predicting the game will get a 10 however, the gamespot editors are too fickle to be predicted accurately.
Anywhere from 8.5 to 9.5 depending on how they view it. If you don't already own HL2 and Ep1 it's great value, if you do own them it still might be good value. I hope they go into detail about how good it is for people who already own these as well as how good it is for people buying HL2 for the first time. If I were a reviewer this game would be a challenge to review, for people who don't already own them HL2 and Ep1 alone are enough for it to get AAA. I haven't paid much attention to how gamespot has reviewed these bundled type games in the past.

I ain't buying that garbage until they release it in Black Box. I already have HL2 and Ep1. Why would I buy them again?
im saying 8.5. just cause it has a loot of games doesnt mean it will run nicelyBillGates_Money
Valve are amazing at optimizing their games. When HL2 was released, it supported DX9 all the way down to DX6 (yes, 6). EP2, TF2, and Portal will require DX8, but that's still impressive considering the fact that most of the big-budget modern PC games like BioShock only support DX9 with SM 3.0 support.
If it scores under a 9.0 it will be the biggest insult to gaming in the history of gaming. This deal is packed with hours and hours of gameplay all for the price of one game. I know this isn't the bet threads, but I'll leave SW forever if it doesn't.
I'm not bashing HL or anything, but its pretty much worthless if you have the past games, and Portal seems like a couple hour arcade game. While episode 2 is bound to be interesting, but if episode 1 is to be a reminder, its gonna be pretty short.
If they actually made a whole new remake of the past games, then it might go to 9.0-9.5, but its simply the exact same thing with better textures.
