ABE LINCOLN LIKES PORTAL!
What a crazy amount of content to sink your teeth into. SERIOUSLY. Valve packaged 5 games into one disc (Half-Life 2 being one of them) and you (Yes, you!) are not playing this 2007 release at this very moment!? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU!
This package could have individually released each game as its own stand-alone game sold at full retail price, but Valve is an amazing company that loves their fans more than they love money. Isnt that weird?
Lets start this review at the very top. Half-Life 2. This game is amazingly awesome, or super awesome... 6.5/5
I didnt even start Half-Life 2 episode 2 or 3 because Im pretty sure those games are just a whole new level of awesome that is so great I would most likely experience cardiac arrest. Or my mind would explode. 7/5
Portal... I cant even describe this game with real English words, and I think the only man capable of doing so is Abraham Lincoln. Thats how great this game is. If I had a time machine the first thing I would do is find Abe, make him play Portal, then tell him to write a review. Send that one to Mr. Bradley Shoemaker.
And Last and very least: Team Fortress 2. Now I only say this because Microsoft refuses to work with Valves idea of unlimited free content via updates and would rather have Valve slap on a price tag for all the juicy Team Fortress content that is free on PC. Therefore Team Fortress on Xbox live is pretty much worthless compared to the souped up PC version you can purchase on Steam for $19.99.
Or buy The Orange Box for $29.99
I give Team Fortress 2 for the Xbox 360 1/5 because Valve and Microsoft couldn't agree on something that shouldnt have been a big deal in the first place. Team Fortress 2 could have been a big hit on Xbox Live alongside the other big multiplayer titles released in 2007 such as Modern warfare and Halo 3.
I dont know how to end this review.
