Both are good games. So it comes down to this...Do you want a great jrpg that is single player? OR Do you have XBL and want a great single player (several actually) and a great multiplayer game?

I would get Orange Box, if you're in a tight budget it may be the best offer.

I would certainly get GRAW 2 though, :) It's amazing graphics, sweet single-player and spectacular multiplayer, totally kills me. I love it.

lol yea right pgr4 is garbage and fifa i mean come on if you dont like soccer who would get this game, half-life is a all around good fps you need to play some better games or something.

I would get OB i did not like ES graphic style or what not.

Anyways, go with HL2: Orange Box. Eternal Sonata is a great game, but HL2 is better.

I bought Eternal Sonata and the name says it all. Unless you like really boring mellow drama get the orange box or you might end up in eternal sleep.

I'm not getting either. I would suggest biting the bullet and not playinga new game in October. Just wait until November and get two, instead of one, of the bigger and better releases. You got COD4, Mass Effect, and Assassin's Creed. Those right there beat the two you listed any day.

I'd recommend Eternal Sonata. Great combat system, gorgeous art style, fun characters, and wonderful music. Great game!

I would say Eternal Sonata for being so original and beautiful. However I am also a huge RPG fan so my opinion is slightly biased :P

I am in the same situation as you and having tried ES, I am going with The Orange Box. I want to re-live HL2 with improved graphics and more extra content than any other game ever. ES is by all means a good game, but between the two, it does not stand a chance.

Both are best in class through October. I LOVE Eternal Sonata, but I can't pick it over the best fps of the modern era. Trade in Halo 3 and get both.

I'd pick Tony Hawk over Eternal Sonata too, because I'm addicted to those games. But definitly Orange Box.

I would say get both of them!

Eternal Sonata is the best RPG of the year and best on the 360 so far.

While Orange Box is a great value with alot of singleplayer action and Team Fortress 2 which could be the best online shooter this year.

Orange Box. Eternal Sonata looks like a decent enough game, but Orange Box includes what may be the best single-player FPS of all time along with it's two sequels and then two other games. All for $60. If that's not gaming on a budget, I don't know what the hell is.

He is completely right, I'm like 12 hours into it and it's unfortunately boring and slow, I like the idea of Chopin but you can't go wrong with Half Life 2.

here's a bright idea: save your money, there are better games coming out next month.
