Get that through your heads people. It's a compilation with several games contained in the "box".

That's like saying The Zelda Promotional Disc is a game. That's like saying that Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES is a game. They're not.

Just because it comes and is scored as one package doesn't mean that we can just start calling it a single game. *looks at 50 Greatest Games of All Time List*

Okay, I didn't say it wasn't. That's totally irrelevant to this topic.

Why not? Does it mean Episode 1 and 2 are also one game combined despite being released separately?

Your a little late to the party. But it is a collection of great games that passes as a game.

I think Super Mario All-Stars could be considered a game. All the graphics were updated.

It's better than a game, because it's 5 Great Games.

I agreed but it's to late now the general consensus views it as a game instead of a compilation

The Orange Box... it's really only 4 games anyway. How can multiplayer count as a seperate game? Gears of War 2 wasnt called "3 games in one" because it has a single player, horde, and competitive MP. But then again... if that's the case... what would that make Warhawk and SOCOM? Ah! It's like chicken or the egg. Does MP count as a seperate game? Or does it count as one game if the game has a SP... hm...

I don't see how a game being a package deal negates it as a game If you really want to here Episode 1 and Half Life 2 are addons Episode 2 is the main single player Portal is like a quick time killer and Team Fortress 2 is the MP thats basically the game right there....they all run on the same engine....different game sty-les...Other than that Its fantsatic all the way through. The Orange Box is one of the best games on the PC and 360 this gen. But get it on PC because TF2 is the AWESOME on PC :D
