$50 for these great games.....COOL!
In this great package theres Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal, Team Fortress 2, and the previous Half-Life games (Half-Life 2, and Half-Life 2: Episode One). The difference between the PC version & the console version is that the PS3 and 360 version boots up an selection menu to choose which game you want to play. On the PC, you'll have to luanch each game seperate.
All the games are running on the same graphics engine and still looks cool. Lets get started with the Half-Life 2 saga, you're once again the silent protagonist Gordon Freeman. It started with the G-man waking Gordon and putting him on a train to City 17. The world was different after the first Half-Life. Humanity is on lockdown to a force know as the Combine. You'll join some rebels (Some of them are scientists from Black Mesa in Half-Life), and some good vortigaunts. In most parts of the game, you'll be in long vehicle sequences. Which might be abit too long.
Half-Life 2 Episode One start after Half-Life 2 when the Citadel blow up so close to Gordon & Alyx. Now you have to escape City 17, and Alyx will follow you if you need any help.
Now Episode Two started when City 17 blew up when you and Alyx escaped. They have to get to White Forest to give them the copy of the Combine data. You'll see some new enimies like the Hunter.
Team Fortress 2 is the multiplayer game in this package. It is an class-based game with some maps but Valve is making some more new maps on the way. The game give 9 well balanced classes with their own abilities. The heavy weapons guy, enginer, sniper, scout, soy, medic, soilder, and the pyro and his flamethrower. Each map show the game mode of it like ctf_2fort. CTF is where one team have to capture the other team's intellegence to win. The other mode is where the blue or red team must capture all of the control points.
Last but not least Portal. It a game where you use a portal gun to complete number of tests.
The Orange Box is a great package to get for $50. If you like get 5 games for a great price, this will be a deal
