Portal, in my opinion, was just the right length. Most may find that its abit too short but I find it to be appropriate for the type of gameplay. Anyway, though Episode 2 would have been better had it been abit longer, the unprecedented engaging story and its god-like in-game cutseens will blow you away. And as for Portal, it will give you tons of laughs and eventually starts to feel more serious to the point it seems like you're in a thriller movie as the main character. It gave be truly the best 3 hours of my life. Awesome game. Finally, Team Fortress 2 is something that will have you glued to your computer forever. As a multiplayer game, it has pretty much infinite replayability. TFC's mods were great, it made the game practically 5 games but now that theres Team Fortress 2, who knows what wonders the community can come up with. Even better - what Valve is going to add...

    I don't know why, but Half Life 2 never really blew me away. I thought the Ravenholm stuff was brilliant, but I spent way too much time in the game fighting against enemies that were just annoying rather than fun to fight, like the face grabbers or the little buzzy things.

Episode One got so annoying I just stopped playing it, and Team Fortress II had such bad lag I couldn't find a fun game. Plus, it seemed you probably can't have enough players with a good connection on Xbox Live to make it as fun as it seems it should be. I did, however, really enjoy Portal. That was my favorite part of the Orange Box. Since Half Life 2 is an old game and doesn't really float my boat, I can't give this a high rating.

The graphical bar is raised in each episode of Half-Life 2, with Episode 2 being brought up to todays standards. Stories are great in each iteration.

The only knock I have is that I do wish graphics could have been updated throughout, which is why I only scored a 9. Generally, once I finish a game, it's put to the side to collect dust or until I decide to trade it. Playing through a 3+ year old Half-Life 2 did not seem like I was trudging through the same old stuff, and reminded me that FPS games are not all created equal.

    For first-person shooter fans, it doesn't get much better than this. What's even better is that each individual game runs amazingly well on the Xbox 360. The graphics are amazing as is the presentation. The interface that Valve created for navigating through the content is also wonderful.

    The Orange Box can't stop giving. It's a sci-fi masterpiece, a clever puzzler and a multiplayer monster wrapped into one, making this a landmark achievement in gaming value and one of the easiest buying decisions you'll make all year. Color us impressed.
