601646 2007-10-15 03:13:00 I know I sure would. Because my computer is a pos I have to wait till the 25th and get it for the 360, but I'd certainly rather have it for pc.

Anyone else here have/waiting for the Orange Box?

And if anyone has it for the 360 tell me and I'll happily take it off your hands.

Also, is it true Portal was made by some MIT students?

601647 2007-10-15 04:48:00 Is this a soft drink or more of the adult beverage type?
We get fruit juices in boxes and that might be what you are asking...but it's prolly just NZ-speak again.

Do I want an Orange Box? Dunnow.

601648 2007-10-15 04:55:00 The only game that I would actually want out of that pack is Portal, so hopefully there will be some way to get portal on its own as:
HL2 : over-rated, linear, boring
Ep 1/2: see above
Team fortress: not a fan of multiplayer gaming
Portal: looks like fun

601650 2007-10-15 05:56:00 I don't. After being shafted for buying Ep 2 which was only a few hours play. :groan: bob_doe_nz (92)
601651 2007-10-15 06:03:00 Portal is fun, but very short. I suppose that's what you get with valve. DarkCypher (11945)

If your PC can play HL2 or EP1 ok, then EP2 isn't much different. They've made a few tweaks to the graphics engine, but nothing too drastic.

601654 2007-10-15 19:57:00 HL2 is one of the most scalable games I've ever come across. And the perfect balance of puzzles and good old shooting.

And for me, HL2 perfected the way that NPC's heads snapped back when you got in a good head-shot. Very satisfying.

601655 2007-10-15 22:20:00 Yes, oh wait I already have it.

$60NZD off Steam. Then I gifted the HL2 and EP1 to another account and sold them for $25
