    Great Deal

    Once in a while, a deal so great comes along that you just cannot pass it up. This is one of those deals.

    Let me tell you that if you buy this game, it will not disappoint. It has a little bit of everything: great single player game, great puzzle game, and great multiplayer game.

    The Half-Life games offer a great story telling experience. These games are some of the best you will play on the PC. I don't even think I have to go into too much detail here, because chances are, you already know how great the Half-Life series is.

    Portal really surprised me. This little gem offers more than just  a fantastic puzzle experience. That surprise however, is one of the reasons that I enjoyed the game so much, so I will not ruin it for you. I will tell you however, that this game is very fun, and very funny. You will laugh out loud at some points, and it wont disappoint.

    Team Fortress 2 is a wild and fun multiplayer game. This game has a unique art style that looks fantastic. It is a class based game, which means that you pick from one of a few different classes. These classes range from supporting classes such as medic, to offensive classes such as the scout. It is a fun game that requires teamwork to succeed; something we dont see too much nowadays.

    Overall, The Orange Box is a great package. It will give you hours of entertainment for a low price.

The Half Life series has always had critical acclaim and the sequels HL2, Ep1 and Ep2 are no different. These three games continue the story and the gameplay to one of the best PC FPS series ever created. While there are some minor downsides to the HL2 episodes in that their rather short gameplay length and lack of any new weaponry etc can come across as boring. The emotional story, intense action ...
