    Does this game Deliver?

    This game is an amazing game and it worth much more then just 60 bucks. This game gives you 5 games in one CD. Not just 5 rushed games but 5 games with so much care put into them. Orange Box looked amazing and once I bought it I was so happy. Once I started playing it I just rushed through it without paying attention to the story or anything which lost my interest. I picked it up almost a year later and I fell in love. I went through each story slowly and precisely and I was amazed at the quality. I played all games and completed all of them in around 20 hours which includes Portal, Half Life 2, Episode 1, and Episode 2. Half Life has a very unique story-line and amazing characters that you fall in love with. I laughed at points in the game and also I was hooked the whole time. The controls are unique with awesome guns and the amazing gravity gun. The graphics aren't amazing but the story really is the thing that keeps you in the game. Next onto portal, Portal is a fascinating game that keeps you hooked from once you start. I laughed throughout the game with funny lines everywhere. The Portal gun is amazing and you really fall in love with it. The puzzles are awesome and unique and very challenging. This only takes 2 hours to complete but its 2 hours of pure fun. There are harder options after completed once. Team Fortress two is a lot of fun. The artwork is so much fun to look at and really adds to the whole game play. The characters are witty and funny. The guns are fun to use. My only problem is with lag. I have yet to play this with a good connection. I played once when I was a host but it was one on one and I lost the experience. This game is so much fun but the connection really brought me away from this which is why I don't play this as much. This whole bundle is amazing and if you love first person shooters with a unique and amazing story-line this game is for you.

      With games not getting any cheaper, in fact, getting much more costly, the dance of trading in games for a fraction of their original price, waiting for games to be put on discounted "Greatest Hits" labels and/or settling for used copies that have more scratches then Samurai Jack after a fight has always been one the gamer was forced to dance.  Luckily, the fine folks at Valve games have given us one hell of a deal here.  In there new "game" (and I use the term lightly, because this is a packag...
