First choice would be Orange Box, second Choice Orange Box. Assasin's Creed is a good game, but it is short and once you beat it you will be done with it. ORange Box has Online Mulitpalyer that can last a long time and HL2 is a very long solo game.

dude i have both assasins creed and the orange box and my advice is to get assasins creed, the orange box is just boring.... but assasins creed has an awesome story with good action, so go and get assasins creed from your friend :).

I have Mass Effect (I love it but it isn't for everyone), Assassin's Creed, and Orange Box and I would say out of the two that you don't hate I would take the Orange Box.Assassin's Creed is very, very good, but Half-Life 2 and it's expansions are possibly the best FPS games ever made so you would really be doing yourself a huge disservice to not play through them. That and the fact that Portal is one of the coolest games I have ever played, even if it is on the short side. Wasn't a huge fan of Team Fortress II, but Half-Life 2 with both expansions and Portal for 60 bucks is a ridiculous bargain. Buy Assassin's Creed when the price drops and take Orange Box now. That's my advice.

Orange Box, because HL2 is possibly the best FPS ever.

Depends really. I'd probably get Assassins Creed, simply because I've been craving for this game since last year.

If you're a RPG fan, want a one hit wonder, or something like that, get Assassins Creed.

If you're the type who wants to keep playing games after the single player is over, get the Orange Box.

get orange box and later rent AC for 10 bucks, you will beat it in a week and never play it again. the OB however has plenty of replay value and it's the best FPS deal!

You're saying Assassin's Creed is a RPG?

Anyway, I haven't played the Orange Box, but I own AC, it's an excellent game, one of my favourites from the 360, but it's a game with almost no replay value, once you' finish it, you're done.

Assassins Creed is kind of RPG in which you get weapon upgrades, side quests, and you can upgrade your health.

Overall, its not an RPG though. Its more Third Person Action/Adventure IMO
