I've been curious about this title; it has 5 games, is available for $20, features critically acclaimed games, etc.
BUT, I have a question for all GBers out there; is it still worth buying?
The Orange Box
Game » consists of 13 releases. Released Oct 09, 2007
The Orange Box is a video game compilation that packages Half-Life 2 (including Episode 1 and Episode 2), Team Fortress 2, and Portal into one.
Is This Game Still Worth Buying?
It's one of the greatest deals I've seen, back when it was full price.
So yes, for 20 dollars, it's amazing.
" Ok, but here's another question; do people still play Team Fortress 2 online? "On PC there's more people playing online then you can count. Partially due to the fact that it's has a solid multiplayer along with new content being introduced for free every now and again.
Yes, yes, yes.
HL2: Still worth playing, especially if you haven't yet.
HL2 - Ep1: Arguably the weakest part of the HL main games. Still good, though. The developer commentary rocks!
HL2 - Ep2: Amazing. (Commentary!)
Portal: Must have and by far the best game of this generation (Commentary!)
Team Fortress 2: Fun, but rather pointless on the console version due to the bad performance and lack of upgrades + community. I still had plenty of hours of fun with it on the 360.
Everyone should have The Orange Box.
On PC? Dude, yes.
On console if you must? Dude, yes.
The Orange Box is a must have for anyone, speaking of which I should get back to my billionth HL2 playthrough that I've started. Also, as Meowayne as stated above me -- the commentary in the games is awesome.
