What more you'd want? 5 Games One Box! Once again Valve proved why they are one of the bests. Worth every cents.

User Rating: 9.5 | The Orange Box X360
Yes, no - maybe. Maybe the graphics aren't as how the sexy Gears of War looked. Maybe a bit difficult for Halo lovers (thank God I'm not one of them). But one thing is for certain, You enjoy every second of it. Even for those who -- like me -- played it over and over again on their PC, still Half-Life 2 360 version is a new enjoyable game. Yes as hardcore PC gamer I blame Valve for releasing their franchise for consoles, on the other hand I thank them for releasing The Orange box on Xbox 360 so all 360 gamers finally can understand their beloved Master chief have nothing to offer them comparing what a Scientist named Doctor Freeman provides. Lets skip to Episode Two, which supposedly is the best chapter in Half-Life series. The gameplay is smooth as it is on PC, though it lacks 'fastswitch' function and 'previously used weapon' which by default it was 'Q' button on our beloved keyboards while playing it on PC. And also for duckjumping we had better options playing on PC, but wait a second we better not forget this is a console game and we should ever compare it for what we believe is the best way. Xbox 360 controller still offers the comfort you seek while fighting or driving your vehicle. You can also modify and remap the controls the way makes your feel more comfortable. Speaking of fighting you'll enjoy battling your new enemies, the hunters. And remember they offer no mercy. Since there are not much to complain in this game I have to make funny complains. I really miss the original Vortigon voice from HL2. Their new voice does not pleases me.

An other noticeable thing you'll see as you play through the game is how Physics interact with gameplay, I mean it's way better than original HL2. And you'll see lots of cool explosions that tears environment apart, that's awesome, isn't it? Specially the damages caused by Striders which pomp your blood pressure up, so make sure put your First Aid-kit somewhere close. One thing I do complain is the lack of new weapons. Only one new weapon, The "Strier Buster", which is a sticky weapon used by gravity gun to grab and throw. but it's effective, very effective but only against the striders. One thing you'll enjoy this time is the Strider battle, oh man that's awesomely done. Helluva fight. Specially while you can move over the hunters and pay them back for all the suffering they caused for you.

But enough said with HL2: EP2, now it's time to give Portal a lot of credits. It's the first FPS game that not challenges your shooting skills, but your Intelligence and the gray cells of your brain. For the first time in your gaming life you start to doubt yourself when you get stuck in a puzzle, it makes you worry, you even may fear your IQ level is low, you even feel you need to do an IQ test sometimes. But no fear, cause the "Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device" (simply known as Portal Gun) is here. If I had that, I'd never stuck anywhere at all. Portal Also happens in Half-Life world, so you bet your arse it's something to do with original storyline sooner or later. As the puzzles get harder you get more upset when you stuck at it, but once you solve it you start to praise your level of intelligence and being proud of yourself. I warn you it's not easy specially if you suck at you physic lessons back in school days or still suck as you take them. The Orange Box is Valve's Ultimate package, 5 games One Box. Isn't all that single player missions enough for you? So you'll never quit playing Team Fortress 2. I wont talk about that, I'm still waiting for my PC Orange Box pack to arrive so I can give it a try with my fellow friends on Steam, but I let you know that this game makes you forget about all other Multiplayer games you have for a while. Remember my favorite class is Spy, Spy is the coolest character in the game if you're like me and love to surprise people the way that they'll never know what hit'em.... The Bad: as before I said there are not much to complain unless you're like me, don't like any sort or kind of AIM ASSISTANCE during the gameplay. I hate auto-aim thing and it seems there's no option for changing that.
