Item 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

Customer Rating: - Doesn't get any better
The HL series is simply one of the best games you can play as a FPS. The Orange Box gives a great package for those who haven't played the ones prior to Episode 2. It's a complete set of HL2, Episode 1, Episode 2, Portal and Team Fortress.
The game looks beautiful and can run on a normal PC with a decent, mainstream graphics card. In this day of DX 10 and dual core processors being the "minimum requirement": it's great having a game series like this look fantastic without requiring a new PC.
This is a must have for anyone who likes a FPS.

Customer Rating: - Luved it
This game pack is great. HL was a tad short but portal makes up for it. Portal it self is worth the price of the orange box.

Customer Rating: - Good Fun
Good fun, portal was very interesting and mind boggling, which gave a good challenge and made you think outside the box on some instances. TF2 is fun, but as online play goes, it's as fun as the people that plays it, too many immature kids playing it for my taste on the open server. And thinks they're cool, by uttering profanities every other word.

Half Life 2 is ok, didn't care much for the storyline, it just didn't grab me.

Customer Rating: - Portal rocks!
Anything connected to Half Life 2 is, of course, awesome. But Portal really is just something altogether different. Such a completely awesome game for people like me. I would describe it as part Myst/Riven and part shooter. Which, to me, is perfect.
