I've been seeing the commercials for Orange Box, and I'm a little confused.

No one here talks about it (that I've seen....though for all I know, you've been talking about it like crazy or something >.<) and I haven't really heard much about it anywhere else. The commercial quotes it as like "The Deepest multiplayer game of the year" and like "the best game of all time".

Anyone play it? What system is it for (I'm thinking PC...)?
 
It's a huge pack of games from Valve. I kind of want to get it for Portal and the Half-Life games, because I've never played them. D:

Yeah, it's for PC.
 
I believe it's got Half Life 2, Half Life 2 Episode 1, half Life 2 Episode 2, Half Life Portal, and Team fortress 2, Best Buy is gonna have it for $25 on PC tomorrow for Black Friday and I'm hoping to get it.

I might get it also. Just for TF2.

What? Its not even a single game? Then what was with the "The greatest game of all time" thing?

Well, it's all hype naturally, but they're talking about its GameRankings rating. At one point it was #1, now it's like #4 or something.

Right, but people here said it's a package that includes multiple games, right? Which of the games included is the "Greatest Game"?
 
DUN BE FOOOLED.

Half life 2 is amazing. <3

If your PC can handle it, and your parents let you play M rated games. The orange box is pretty much, a must if you ever experienced Half life at all.

Well, I was thinking of getting it, which was why I made this thread. But I'd get it for the 360.

Can your computer handle it?

If you have any doubts, I would go with the 360 ver.

Theres nothing worse then a slow, laggy computer videogame.

My computer can probably handle it, yeah. But I MUCH prefer playing games on consoles then...well, the computer.
 
You're all wrong.

What they say are quotes from reviewers, look at the commercial, you can see the sources.

PC Gamer Mag called Half-Life 2 the best game ever and it, arguably, is.

"The deepest multiplayer game of the year" is talking about Team Fortress 2, which was also a quote from a reviewer, I'm not sure which one, though.

By the way, none of the Half Life games are very "CPU Intensive" they've become very easy to run in recent times. And also, trust me, you want to get these games on PC if you get them at all. SOOOO much better.

yeah, each quote is about a specific game that's in the box.

Anyway get the game, cause it's worth it.
