For those of you who don't know who Gordon Freeman is...

Prior to purchasing the Orange Box I had never played Half-Life, Half-Life 2 or Counter Strike. This review is from a non-fanboy perspective.Yes it is 5 games for the price of one, but if they're 5 crappy games is it really worth it? These 5 games could not be sold separately at full price....

Good Fun.

Every game is a good game on the disk. Portal is a fun surprise. You know what you get with the half life series. Team Fortess 2 is a nice addition to one's multiplayer collection.

Great set of games even for a non-gamer!

I'm a middle-aged woman who just can't seem to get the hang of the game controllers. I know, so sad and lame--and I'm usually pretty coordinated.But I LOVED both "Half-life" games--I sit next to my husband and shout at him at while he controls the action. "Half-life", unlike many other gaming...

Pretty lame game

I bought this game used in late 2008. If you enjoy moaning bloody zombies and spiders that try to jump on your face in a game that looks and plays like its from 1998, then this is your game.Portal was pretty cool though not worth the price of the game alone.

Great value

Essentially five games in 1. And these aren't your average games. Half-Life is amazing, Portal is thought provoking, and TF2 is flat out fun. At this price you can't go wrong. BUY IT!!!

Awareness

Portal - I like puzzles... and videogames. What better way to fuse the two than with this one? No points, no power-ups and certainly no 'extra' lives. It is like a 3D LodeRunner, with a disturbing twist. I am currently on the achievement hunt(30K ft? Go make a sandwich!) I quite enjoy the 'good...

Great Collection, Great Value

Five games, one box, $27 dollars. There isn't a better value in gaming right now. Half Life 2, Episode 1 and Episode 2 are basically all the same game. Sure, HL2 has outdated graphics but the gameplay is engaging and wide ranging. Half-Life's story itself is very interesting and it kind of...

Orange box is good, Portal is better.

The Orange Box is a really awesome video game. Half-life 2 and Episode 1 and 2 are very intriguing. The game play can get a little boring after a while if you're more into that Call of Duty style shoot-em-up. Half-Life 2 is really more of a puzzle-shooter. However, it is highly enjoyable, and...

5 FREAKING GAMES FOR 30 bucks!

Half Life 2, Half Life 2 Episode 1 and 2, Team Fortess, and Portal. If anyone with a brain can see, five game for only thirty dollars is a bargain. It has a great line up from the Half life games, Portal, and Team Fortress. This pack will keep you busy for awhile. Portal is the greatest game...

With this kind of value how can you go wrong?

The Orange Box has won a lot of praise from all over. For the most part I agree but I think it needs to be quantified. Is there any part of TOB that's going to blow you away? No. Everyone's played HL2 before so it's nothing too new. Mind you, it was cool on the PC when it came out a few years...
