Assassin`s creed or The orange box?

I'd recommend the Orange box every time. Assassins Creed is good, but I've not picked it up since I completed it.

The Orange Box, on the other hand, I play quite regularly, especially for Portal.

I recommend The Orange Box. There's more content and more variety on Orange Box than Assassin's Creed, and that's an understatement.

The Orange box is awesome. Assassins Creed is good for an hour or two. Unfortunately Ubisoft basically just copypasted it a couple of times and called it a game.

Orange Box all the way imo.

Edit: Ravenholm can be considered pretty scary and the game has an very intense atmosphere. The fast zombies can also make you jump on a couple of occasions if your not prepared.

No, I wouldn't say Half life is scary. Team Fortress is ok lagwise as far as I've experienced. Like I said, Portal's where its at for me. One of the best games I've ever played!

Hmmm, you've got some good games there, and by good games I mean all the games in the Orange Box. Not saying Assassin's Creed is bad, but it is repetative. You get a mission to kill someone and once you kill them you get another person to kill and so on. The only problem is you do every mission in the exact same way. Gather info by beating it out of people and then once you find where the guy is you stalk him and then kill him, rinse, repeat.

The Orage Box on the other hand has the amazing Half-Life games. Those alone are worth buying the whole collection. Portal is awesome and really unique, but unless your trying to beat the challenge stages there really isn't any replay value. Team Fortress is also fun but prepare to get your butt handed to you by the people that have been playing since day 1. Half-Life is frikin amazing! Half-Life 2 has improved graphics over the PC version that was released. The 2 episodes that follow are really good, especially Episode2. And by the time your done with them you'll be begging for episode 3 or Half-Life 3 (or whatever they decide to release).

(I even got my name from Half-Life)

Hope this helped! (play the original with the expansion packs if you get the chance. You'll still be able to play Half-Life 2 even if you've never played 1)

Let me know which one you end up getting, and what you think!

...is Half life scary?

WelcomeOblivion

Hmm, I don't think so. Some parts of it are errie, when you see what the aliens are doing to the Earth and its inhabitants. There's one level that might be considered scary, but only a little.

And is there any sort of side stuff to go back to when you completed Half life? like collecting anything.

WelcomeOblivion

Besides some achievements, no.

And how is Team fortres? I've heard that it lags a lot.

Players host the games, so it's only laggy if someone has a bad connection. There are plenty of games that run just fine; most games I join are fine. Team Fortress can be a little unfriendly to new players (not the community; the gameplay), though it can be a lot of fun once you figure things out.

They're both great games. I'd lean toward Orange Box simply because it has a lot more content. I'd say Assassin's Creed has a slightly better single player game than Orange Box, but the Orange Box has a lot to offer, and is quite a bit lengthier. It also has a fun multiplayer, something Assassin's Creed lacks altogether.

They're both great games, but I'd personally go Orange Box.

I can say without a shadow of a doubt that The Orange Box is both the better game and the better value for your hard earned bucks!

The orange box by far. It will last you so much longer than Assassin's Creed which is such a repetitive game.

Dude just go with the orange box! theres nothing wrong with assasins creed it just justs way to repetive and the orange box has 3 games i one. Each one fo thoses games are sweet as hell.

The Orange Box hands down. The Orange Box is great and I didn't like Assassins Creed so it's a pretty one-sided fight between the two if you ask me.

These 2 games arent comparable so i can't figure why you all are judging them against eachother, completely different games. I don't like the rap Assasins Creed seems to get in these type of threads either. Half Life offers a lot of content for a shooter with a few other bells and whistles. Assasins Creed stands on it's own, it's story is immersive, and the gameplay is amazing. Is isn't repeitive if you like getting in stand offs with 10 or more quards and slaying them all one after another with large variety of ways to kill them. If you enjoy a long and engrossing single player campaign and open world exploration, then don't pass up this game.

Thank you my good sir! So just a side question, is Half life scary?I don't mind gore but is it scary? And is there any sort of side stuff to go back to when you completed Half life? like collecting anything. And how is Team fortres? I've heard that it lags a lot.WelcomeOblivion

I'd go with the Orange box, but both are great. You can get both together for less than the price of a new game.
