As you probably know the Orange box was released a few days ago. I preordered it on steam so right when it was released I jumped right in. The first thing I went into was Portal. One reason was because I only had about 10 minutes to play, but another was that it was something different. It was really fun and just amazing. I've never played a game like it before. After playing through portal I went right into Episode 2 which is probably the best Half-life game yet. I loved every second of it. I'm not going to spoil anything here but the ending just leaves you hanging. Now I'm really looking forward to episode 3. I can't wait to see the conclusion. Go buy the Orange Box. It's an amazing collection of games. $50 for 3 new games, and if you haven't played Half-life 2 and Episode 1 that's 5 games and every single one of them are amazing. Not to mention all the mods you can get for Half-life 2.
