5 Games, One Disc and For the Price of One Game!
5 Games, 1 Disc, 1 Orange Box
The Box includes Half-Life 2 & Episodes 1 & 2 also you get Team Fortress 2 and Portal
Lets begin with Portal, Basically your a test subject who must solve puzzles with a Portal Gun, you start off with this Computer voice guidung you through the tests, now these tests range from getting from one side of the room to the other side or trying to solve how to get 3 floors up, it is basically a brain game, quizing you at every level working out stuff, You fist get the Portal Gun which allows you in the beginning a portal and when you get the upgrade portal gun later in the game you can make unlimited Portals, one orange and one Blue.
Some of these puzzles arnt safe, some are dangerous like getting from one side to another side above you over toxic water or trying to get out of fire really quick, it does put your brain to the test and if you dont like to use your brain while playing videogames, your done.
You solve all these puzzles for a Slice of Cake, the voice says all of this will be done and then you get Cake...but, Portal isnt what it seems, the world your in is not right, in a later level you find a room with The cake is not safe on the wall and Photos of people with Pictires of Boxes over there heads and The cake is Not safe, Portal if you play it to the end is A Conspiracy game, it's not all what this lovely little world is.
Portal is a very challenging game and is very rewarding in terms of gameplay, my only problem is that it is to short and i would of liked it a little longer, but take everything in to account and it makes up for it, Portal is Unique in every way, a Action/Adventure Game with a few twists and turns a very very good game.
9.0
Team Fortress 2, TF2 is a online Multiplayer Game in where you pick your class and fight, Your class can be a spy, Enginer, Soldier, Heavy, Scout and more, there are 6 maps and different types of Modes, Attack/Defend, Capture the Flag and more, Now they have used a cartoony look whith TF2, it might look silly but infact is really addictive, if you choose a engineer class just place a turret outside the enemy base and let it open fire, you kill score will go up and up until it is destroyed.....
If you choose to play a Spy, disquise your self has a enemy and go into there base and use your Knife to stab people in the Back, if you get an enemy Medic to heal you you will get an achievement, sounds good?
It is fun but not too fun, there is only six maps and it doesnt have the feel of a real Shooter but still has i said before, really fun
If your a fan of Online Shooters then you will enjoy this but if cartoony killing isnt your thing you wont be has intrested.
8.5
Half Life 2, HL2 is simple, Aliens are taking over the world and you kill them, if only it was that simple......
HL2 is a physics game and like Portal you have to use your brain in some occasions to get through a certain area's, now if you have allready have Played HL2 on the PC then this wont be nothing new to you, the graphics have been slightly tweaked but nothing special, HL2 was Outstanding on the PC and is even more outstanding on the XBOX 360, You Play Gordon Freeman, Who wakes up on a train and is summoned to stop the alien invasion.
HL2 is a great FPS and with it's little Puzzles, Driving Missions and Great Plot a really great game
9.5
Half Life 2 Episode One & Two
Episodes One and Two give you an additional 12 levels (5 in Ep One, 7 in Ep Two) to HL2's 14 levels, and the story is pretty good for an add-on. There's plenty of challenge and the games do take a fair few hours to get through. No vehicles in Episode One though is a bit of a let-down, but not the end of the world.
A Great Package But with No Episode 3 you feel a little cheated in the HL2 Experience, though 5 games for the price of one is a mear barain and in rarlye known in the Videogame World.
