Half life 2 alone is priceless, this package is brilliant.
I played half life 2 a while back and i can't belive it took me so long to finally buy it. I've had the orange box for about 3 weeks and im not finished with it yet............here's a run down game buy game.
Half life 2 - Stupendous entertainment value in one of the most critically acclaimed games ever. Brill graphics, simple yet engaging gunplay, frightening enemies, great level design, I got 20 hours from hl2 in one play through. An absolute essential........5/5
HL2 episode 1 - this is just an add on and the gameplay isnt really expanded on in any way. The graphics have been improved slightly and the levels are a bit more challenging. Good but just not a huge step forward........3/5
Hl2 episode 2 - much more like, alot more cinematic and more explosive than episode 1. The levels are much more engaging. The new setting also makes for some hardened challenges and set pieces which look astonishing with the new graphics engine........5/5.
Portal - an exceptional puzzle game with added humour and some truly well thought through levels and challenges. a bit too easy but its got tonnes of replay value.........5/5.
Team fortress 2 - This was the last of the games i played and the biggest let down, It looks great, some nice ideas and designs but all in all just really tedious. Its not addictive and the levels offer little variety. It wont stop you playing COD 4 and WaW. The weak link........2/5
All in all a package of gaming excellance. Let down by a weak multiplayer component (in my opnion) but made up for with a bargain basement price.
