    Re: The Official Orange Box Thread

    episode 2 is excellent also, very cinematic, the G-Man scene is awesome the way it happens.

    the inclusion of achievements will surely extend replay value too, TF2, Portal and episodes 1 and 2, Orange Box was so worth it

    Re: The Official Orange Box Thread

    Decided to get up a little earlier than usual and try portal for about an hour before leaving for work. 2 hours later and I noticed the time I've been told its only supposed to have about 3-4 hours worth of gameplay in it, but i'm sure it wont take too long for the mod community to develop some mind bending custom levels for it

    Easy for some, I wont be able to play it until tomorrow now...grr@ last minute plans!

    Yeah, IGN said theres only around 2/3 hours gameplay, but then they also said that there are harder versions of some levels and permutations of those that have time/footstep limits - both avaliable after completing the main game, so it should have some replay value
