- PS3 Orange Box is a must have
I was hesitant to purchase this game due to some reviews claiming that it had frame rate issues on the PS3. I am happy to report that those issues were either overblown or fixed. If you don't have this compilation of 5 games, you need to get it. The price drop to $29.99 make it a steal. I would pay that for Portal by itself. My girlfriend actually likes Portal! It is so different from other games. It is my understanding that Valve may not port future games to the PS3. That would be unfortunate. All their games on this disk are great and I recommend it with no reservation.

- EXCELLENT FUN
I HAVE BEEN A HALF LIFE FAN EVER SINCE THE FIRST GAME CAME OUT. I HAVE PLAYED IT PROBABLY 5 TIMES. I HAVE PLAYED HALF LIFE 2 ABOUT 3 TIMES. THIS NEW HALF LIFE PACKAGE WAS A REAL GOOD DEAL AS I PICKED IT UP NEW FOR 29.95. HALF LIFE EPISODE 1 AND EPISODE 2 ARE REALLY FUN. BOTH EPISODES ARE FAIRLY TOUGH AS YOU GET OVERWHELMED BY ENEMIES AT TIMES AND OF COURSE YOU ARE FIGURING THINGS OUT IN PUZZLE FASHION. I STARTED PLAYING PORTAL AND FOUND IT POINTLESS AND I HAVEN'T PLAYED TEAM FORTRESS AS OF YET. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT JUST FOR EPISODES 1 AND 2. I'M NOT A GAME NERD SO I DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. SOME OF THE REVIEWS I READ I NOTICED THAT SOME PEOPLE GRIPE ABOUT THE SMALLEST DETAILS. I HAVE NO GRIPES. I PLAYED IT ON THE PS3 AND I ENJOYED IT JUST FINE. I DID GET THE IMPRESSION THAT THERE WILL BE A HALF LIFE 4. I HOPE SO. IF YOU ARE A HALF LIFE FAN, BUY THIS GAME. YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID, ESPECIALLY AT THIS PRICE.

- Bang for your buck.
The first thing that can be said for The Orange Box is what a deal it is. For less than the price of one game you're getting 5: Half Life 2, Episodes 1 and 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2. And every single one of those games are awesome in their own right. Starting with Half Life 2 and the 2 episodes; graphically all three are great and hold up even compared to newer games. The story and weapons are part of what make this game so fun and definitely one I'd recommend for those who enjoy both first person shooters and puzzle games, but beware as there are zombies. Team Fortress 2 is a quirky online first person shooter that is worth trying out and a lot of fun to play with a bunch of friends. Each character class has it's own unique personality to go along with it's unique weapons. Finally there's Portal. A first person action puzzle game that is both fun and challenging. GLaDOS the crazy computer who is putting you through all your test with the portal gun had me laughing out loud so many times and I replayed the game several times just to hear what she had to say. Plus the ending of the game, which I won't give away, is well worth the time put in getting through the trickier puzzles. Overall this is a great buy I'd recommend to anyone who enjoys fps game and puzzles that have a different point of view to them.

I was really hoping for closure with Halflife. I played Halflife 1 and now the orange box and I still feel like a don't know anything. Who is the dude in the jacket. What are the Vorts doing. I don't get it. Great game though.

Valve has made itself distinct in the PC world of gaming. We've all played through at least one session of Gordon Freeman clobbering some headcrab, have fond memoriories of a killer game of Team Fortress, and each time we see the fat man with the knob on his dome, we recognize how much skill Valve has. But Valve take the easy way out, by making the Orange Box a smourgasboard of games, but small ones.

The Orange Box is a great game deal, there's no denying that; the entire Half Life 2 collection with the 2nd sequal, the much innovative, mind-blowing Portal, and one of the origonal class-based multiplayers, Team Fortress 2. While there is 5 games total, the only true full game is the origonal Half Life 2. Both sequals are just episodes(half a game), not a full fledged 20+hr game, which goes the same for Portal, Valve's interpetation of a test lab rat. Among all the gold(or orange) in the Box, Portal truly is a diamond, by circling around a wormhole-generator gun as the main gameplay mechanic, using it to solve puzzles for a appliance company. Seems simple enough, but innovation is just breaking into games now(outside Nintendo). Portal is enjoyable enough, fun enough, and brillant enough to stand on it's own two feet, but Valve gives it 4 support beams to fall back on, channling the Box as a pilot game to lauch a hopefull franchise.

After hitting the snooze button for 10 years, Valve woke up to the fans call of a 2nd edition of Team Fortress. Instead of following the sequal norm of an upgraded graphic engine, Valve rehauls the whole look, flip-flopping over to a Pixar-type look, Incredibles, if I had to call one out, but ramped up violence/blood is what slappes the M on the box more than anything. Valve keeps one eye on TF2 online, now giving patches and updates for the unpopular clases, which keeps gameplay fresh and stops Valve from pumping out another full fledged game. Team Fortress has a great online community, but thats just it. It's ALL online, nothing else. No offline services, which isen't to bad, but when fans get love affairs for certain maps, the play-feild gets real stale.

Even though Valve gave us 5 games(4shorties) it's has all the makings for the perfect game sequal: a strong foundation to build off of(Half-Life 2), fresh new ideas, while still keeping to it's roots(Episodes 1 and 2, Portal), plus, a killer multiplayer function(Team Fortress 2). Valve put all of the ideas in the same box, but just put barriars between them.
