Thumbs up Orange Box...has anyone tried it??!!



I just got it yesterday and man is the Portal game addictive! Didn't think I'd have this much fun on the PC but if you haven't tried any of the Half Life games this would be a very good place to start

Here's the trailer

BTW its also out on 360 and PS3 as well...I hear both are just as good

I've had it since Thanksgiving and it's great!

But I think this post should be in the

I thought this might be about over tanned women.

One of my friends just told me about this game the other day and raved about it, I wish I had time to play games on my XBOX.

I bought it, but then COD4 came out the next week and I haven't played it since.

I will have to give it another shot.

Almost certain but if you've never seen Yahtzee's review of The Orange Box, it's an all time classic.

NWS for language.

I played through all the games on xbox 360. Portal was the best... the multiplayer game was a little buggy.

The single player games were OK. I enjoyed it overall.

SPOILER!!





Portal was awesome, I started it last year, played a few levels, I thought it was cute and then played some other games. Then I came back to it and when I got to the part where you find out there is actually a plot to it... I thought it was so amazing. I loved it. It reminded me of that sci-fi movie Cube. It's cool how they tied it in with Black Mesa. Brilliant game.

I recently too bought it when it was on sale on steam. It is a great package and I am having a blast playing Tf2, which I should have bought like months ago... Also, I have yet to play Episode 1 and 2, but after I finished portal and a bunch of other games as well...

I've had it for a few weeks. Portal was great! Can't wait to play the bonus maps. I havent been able to play ep2 or tf2 yet.

One bad thing that sucks is that my Dolby Digital Live/DTSConnect sound card doesn't output real surround in Vista
