Product Description
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

 Amazing November 17, 2008
Not much to say. Team Fortress 2 is a great multiplayer game. Portal and Half Life 2 + episodes are great single player games, portal more for mechanics and half life more for story.
Excellent game November 16, 2008
Great set of games to play.
Most of them you can play with friends.
Which is good.
Unless you have no friends.
Then it is not good.
Most worthwhile 30$ a gamer can spend November 9, 2008
The orange box comes complete with 3 games, one of those having 2 expansions called episodes. Half 2 and it's two follow up episodes are a lot fun, combining first person shooters with puzzle elements and allowing you to use the innovative Gravity Gun with the Havok Physics engine for an exceedingly fun experience.
Team Fortress II is a fun multi-player shooter with plenty of online applicability.
Portal was declared game of the year by a number of sources so go check it out.
How a great game goes bad. November 9, 2008
I bought the game from Amazon and dowloaded it. It played perfectly the first time. The next time and ever since it has not played and no one can seem to assit me.
Cool game, great deal! October 27, 2008
Came as specified in brand new condition. Orange box is awesome, and it's the best deal for the money. I highly recommend it.
