The Orange Box

[Riku-Nara]

The Orange Box for the 360 and PC does have a great idea for an excellent game. Still, i can't even begin to say how well it pulls it off. 5+ games ( the half life 2 series, team fortress 2, and portal) all almost perfect, for the low price of $50.

The Half Life games are known for their innovative style of game play, and making you think. These games are also in the books for their high ratings form several game magazines. To have 3 of them in one box is just crazy. crazy life a fox!

Team fortress two isn't as good as the other games in the box, but it's still awesome, it a sense. originating form the team fortress mod for counter strike, back in 1998, it brings a new look and feel to it's counterpart. With 9 classes, and six maps, it isn't a very large or detailed game, but it's simplicity does make up for it. The cartoonish look also brings an odd, but fun feel to the game.

Now, for the big one. Portal, possibly the best game in the orange box, is the story of a scientific worker, Chell, trying to escape her way from a whacked out lab, with the help of her trusty portal gun. The gun allows you to open portals oin one location, and open another in a different location. you can then travel, or send objects through these portals to find you way out. This game is not a fps, but a first person strategy game. This may sound weird, but is very addicting.

Overall The Orange Box gets a: 10/10

The Half Life two series also gets a : 9.99/10

Portal also gets a :10/10

Team Fortress 2 gets a: 9/10

Pros: combining 5 for the best games out, is a very smart idea, and the price is unbelievable.

Cons: Team Fortress 2 could be more advanced, and there's no Half Life (for those who have never played the first one)

great job riku i like this review

we all know he did a great job - no need to repeat lol - if you have anything about the game feel free to discuss the GAME and not review the review lol

right now i have a few friends trying to pressure me to get the box since they have it - i do believe that it has the best available games for that price but definitely should have added the first half life, even though i have it

Couldn't help but notice. You do know she is more like a prisoner/test gerbil? And nice review, it really does outline the full-potential of this pack.

I still haven't tried this yet, lol.
I just got done with Army of Two, so I'll probably head for this one next.

Nice review :]
