Well I got the Orange box the other day and I must say first impressions in this package of joy are great. I already beat portal and played a few games of TF2 and since I never had episode 1 before I haven't checked out episode 2 yet (a little through Ep1 and I gotta say its pretty neat!) For getting your "bang for your buck" I will have to say this package is the best buy I've seen in gaming all year.TF2 is amazing. The artwork REALLY works for this game. Original team fortress classic was "good" graphics back when it was released and when they went to make TF2 the original idea was to make it as realistic as possible. In early development they scrapped that idea completely and decided to do a cartoony sort of twist and I must say not only does it make the game stand out from the others but adds to the fun and humor nature of the game. If you don't have 50$ to dish out for the orange box you can still dish out 30$ for TF2 alone (its worth it!) but I recommend the orange box.Portal is great! Without giving any spoilers I'll just say that it mixes up great graphics and gameplay, strategy, and humor all in one. I really got a kick out of this game on both fun factor and some extremely hilarious parts. When you pick up a turret for example they have so many voice lines it never gets old! Simply put this game was more than I expected and is just one more bonus of buying that orange box!Episode 1 & 2... well I can't comment on Ep2 yet because I'm going through Ep1 first but I must say episode 1 so far is pretty neat and yet again, another bonus they give in the orange box. If you never had episode 1 they bring you up to speed and throw it in the package! Heck... on that note they throw the original HL2 game in case one never bought that.[size=20:5d2ee94617]IF YOU DON'T LIKE READING A WALL OF TEXT:[/size:5d2ee94617]Bottom line, the orange box is a GREAT buy and I personally would go as far as saying the best 50$ spent in the past year or two. If your a fan of either the Half-life series or even just FPS's this game package is a MUST BUY. If your contemplating on whether to buy even Halo 3 or the Orange box BUY the orange box!!! 5/5 ***** stars from me!PS: Almost all reviews are biased in some way or another so if you want another opinion heres a link to the gamespot review here.

I finally finished Episode 1 and 2 and instead of writing another "fence" of text I'll just say episode 1 was alright but episode 2 kicked ass! Even more of a reason to get the orange box!!!
