The Orange Box for Windows
With part 3 of the Half-Life saga in the horizon, this collection brings you from the start so you're ready to take on the third episode of this exciting trilogy. Half Life earns its popularity and reputation at being the first First Person Shooter game to use aq lifelike, realtime plot that pits you in the action as well as behind the trigger. Created by Valve Software, each episode employs advanced technologies for better, more realistic play. In Half-Life, you assume the role of Dr. Gordon Freeman, a recently graduated theoretical physicist who must fight his way out of an underground research facility whose teleportation experimentations have gone awry. The second part of the trilogy of episodic expansions for Half-Life 2, Episode Two picks up where Episode One left off?with Gordon and Alyx traveling out of City 17 and into a vast new environment. The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. Freeman is thrust into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed back at Black Mesa. And a lot of people people he cares about are counting on him. Intense, real-time gameplay of Half-Life 2 is made possible only by Source, Valve's new proprietary engine technology more

- HL2-E2 - Incredible immersion!
Half-Life 2 Episode 2 is by far the most immersing and graphically rich experience that you can get on the PC today. I'm not keen on Team Fortress 2 and Portal seems OK. I'm so pleased that developers still want to churn out top titles...

- Great graphics, little freedom in action.
I am not a fan of either shooters or action games. Since the Half Life series are a hybrid of the two genres, I had not felt the urge to try them out until now.The graphics is indeed impressive, and I can see why so many kids like this...
