LOL

... should have known there'd be one geek haha!

i've only just got it, so started on HL2... brings back memories though, I played the original Half life and counter-strike when it came out on the PC, all those years ago.... many sleepless nights were had and shall be had again...

I was looking for online 'friends' to play with, it's much more enjoyable when you know the people you're playing with ....

bought it from a mate a few weeks back. Only played 1 round of TF2 so far and about 3 quarters of the way through HL2. Completed Portal (story mode only, not the extra puzzles)

i can't wait to get onto portal actually.... i've heard a few good things mentioned of it.

i personally think the orange box is a ruddy bargain, 5 games for £25 can't be bad

[tom18230]

I bought it when it came out at £40...a month or so later it was £25 quid....*sigh*

Portal is amazing the first time you play it. It's one of the funniest, freshest game experiences, ever. It's not all that challenging though...but thats where the challenges come into play. There 6 advanced versions of levels. And on every level you can try and do it using a certain number of steps, certain number of portals, least time etc etc to try and get medals (and achievements - xbox 360 ftw! ) Once you've tried all them though, theres nothing much to do. Well...I've completed the game about 6 times...just to get the ending credits (they are amazing XD). And the game only takes about 2 hours to complete, but its still so much fun.

i'm looking forward to having a couple of games on TF2, i love my online gaming..... not sure how popular it is now though?

[tom18230]

It's still very popular.

Just played it there, 8vs8 on dustbowl for about an hour or so .

I just use the Player Match Quick Play...can find a game in about 5 minutes. Then again... I pretty much only play 16 player on Dustbowl lol, so if you're looking for anything, then you can join a game in seconds.

[Lord Midas]

I've played and completed the 3 HL games, Portal and done loads of TF2 on the PC. So why have I just gone and bought the Orange Box for the Xbox?

I must be mad

[Plus87]

I have read ton's of it's reviews, hovewer still didn't played Half Life 2 - Orange Box.
I've got my XBox 360 just 2 weeks ago and currently enjoy playing Halo 3
Once I'll complete it I will play GTA IV.
So I don't know when I'll have the time to play the Orange Box..

[Zap]

Gotta love the achievements in Orange Box.

[Rob_B]

I was very dissapointed with Ep2, still, I'd recomend orange box in an instant if you dont already have HL2/ep1.

[danroyle]

i just bought it from ebay.

came back from holiday and had my second £10 off code in as many weeks in my inbox so got the game for £12.50 inc so £2.50 for a wicked game.


as soon as it arrives i am up for a game

[zedman 001]

team fortress rocks and so does portal

[FringePatrol]

All the games in dis package are awesome but Portal wins hands down. That has gotta be the best game i've ever played!! If you haven't already check it out
