Five games. One box. You will never sell this. The Orange Box is Valve's most highly anticipated release since 2004. Three new games are added while the other two are updated with 360 graphics. First lets talk about Half Life 2 and episodes 1 + 2. In 2004 Valve released Half Life 2 which is considered by many, the best game of all time. After the success of Half Life 2, and didn't want to work on a Half Life 3 for eight years, they broke it into episodes. The gameplay makes you think about obstacles while staying an FPS. No new weapons. Yet a new vehicle. A old beat up car that works like glass. The storyline is amazing and gets you involved at the same time. It will even get you counting the days until Episode Three. If that alone isn't a great deal for $60, then I dont know what is. Next, Portal. You remember the genre groundbreaking Gravity Gun, right? Well here is the next big success. Portal is a puzzle game in which you use a gun to make, you know, portals. Its smart. Its hard.Its even is connected to Half Life and has its own story. Its in The Orange Box too. Well, now maybe your bored of single player and may want to jump on Gears or Halo for multiplayer. Then, dont worry. This box has multiplayer too. A sequel to the sucessful Half Life mod, Team Fortress 2 is a class based CTF multiplayer so each character has advantages and disadvantages. This is greatness. Five Games On Box. Only $60
