I know the orange box has 5 games in it but none of the games seem like they would really suck me in. Did you guys particularly enjoy this game?

Yes, if you haven't played Half-Life 2. If you have you might be better off getting Portal and Team Fortress 2 for PC.

it was the first game i got for my 360. its fun as hell. portal tho being a very short game is probably one of the most original games you will ever play.wile team fortress is an extremely addicting game for on-line play. and i have yet to play allot of half life, I've heard that it is Farley fun with a pretty cool story line.

hope this helps.

Portal is the best thing since video games went 3-D.

the orange box is a steal for what you get. I played half life 2 episode one working on two now and beat portal(which is awesome!) This is from a person that beat half life 2 years ago. The graphics are incredible also.

I bought it thinking HL2 looked so cool and very long so it'd be more than a rent, but I haven't touched it since CoD4 came out. It was a great game for its time clearly, but its time is long gone. I'd still recommend it for people who fly through games, but CoD4 and ME is more than enough to keep me busy until 2008.

I Liked all of the games on the Orange Box. Half Life2 episode1 and 2 had excelent stories and never got boring. The half life games are kind of scary, but they arent the most frightening games you'll find. Portal was mind bending, the game was short, but all the puzzels were extremely well made and you never get bored playing it. WARNING: playing Portal you might get frustrated. Surprisingly, Team Fortress 2 was my favorite game and sometimes I spent almost 6 hours playing the game. This game you get to choose from 9 different positions, Pyro,scout,medic,heavy,sniper,mechanic,spy,demoman,or soldier. So far the game only has 2 different game modes which are capture the flag and attack/deffend. The only capture the flag map is 2fort which is the most featured map in the game. Capture the flags objective is to retreave the enemy intelligence which is usally located in the basement. Attack/deffend modes objective is like territories in Halo, except for that you cant really get your territory back if your on the deffend team. Attack team just attacks the other team and takes their territories. I Gave the orange box a 10 because of the excelent games that come for a cheap price. This is probably the only bundle pack that doesnt make you pay extra.

Look at the review, the answer is obviously yes. By the way that review was done before reviewers were afraid of losing their jobs for giving out an honest review.

Yeah it is. Half-Life 2 is a REALLY good game, and it also comes with Episodes 1 and 2. Team Fortress 2 is also a great multiplayer game and Portal is a fun puzzler. The Orange Box is a great value.

Portal alone is worth 60 bucks. And to whoever said the Orange Box had crappy games, you need to find yourself another passtime cause you are abviously NOT a gamer.

I'd never played Half Life 2. AFter playing, that, along with the 2 episodes it came with, I now see why all the PC gamers bashed Halo so much.
