I think the Orange Box is the best deal in videogame history. You get 5 amazing games. I can spend hours on TF2. Portal is great, and funny. Half Life series is epic. What more could you ask for?

Orange Box has Portal. GLaDOS. Companion Cube.

Orange Box is the best. It has some great games with nice graphics.

it depends on what you like to play. if you like multiplayer fps then this is brilliant but if you like playing rts then it sucks......its a brilliant choice to buy though

Orange box is one of the best videogame deals you can get out there. It is very cheap, and it has many hours of fun.

Portal is a great game, it is a very short game, but it makes it one of the easiest and funniest games to speedrun (i am at 35 min for the moment, but with a little more practice i think i can get it down to 25). It got some awesome puzzles, and if you get better to it, it becomes very fun to just jump/run/portal around everywhere. Also it is fun to find shortcuts in the levels, there are many of them.

When you first look at Team fortress 2 it just looks like another online fps, but it isnt. it has good gameplay, awesome characters, much humor and good graphics (there's a difference between good and realistic graphics, but most gamecreators simply wont realise it). The game is still i developement, wich means that it still has bugs, but new stuff is added to the game pretty often, wich just adds extra cheese on the pizza. It is a game that you cant play for 1 hour and say that there's nothing new left to do in the game.

Half life 2 is THE BEST story-based episodic game ever made (so far). it has everything a good game needs. A good story, much veriety and awesome fights but most important, you dont get stuck or bored through the game. Episode 1 and 2 is just more of the same goodies. I cant wait untill episode 3 comes!!

I like it. my older bro bought it but its still fun
i've played portal it is pretty good but it kinda got boring after the whole OMG! i can run into a wall and pop out somewhere else was done too much it was also too short

i do, and dont like TF2 cause TF classic was more like taking it a bit slower, and actually trying to defend and not die as much as Tf2 is like CSS (awesome game orange box would have sold MANY more copies if they added that, and 20$) cause all you do is die, run try to get a killl as fast as you can, die, run.

Half life 2 = the BEST storyline i think other than the legend of dragoon (PS1)
Legend of Dragoon had AMAZING gameplay- and a 4 disk-long story

The orange box is well worth its money. I find TF2 one of the best games on the market. Valve are selling it so cheap you would have to be insane not to buy it.
Can't wait untill HL2: EP3..
