Half-Life 2: The Orange Box (Xbox 360) (Video Game)

The Orange Box Half Life 2- Brilliant game detail was fantastic starts of slow but is really fun took me about 2 weeks to complete it but i would play it again.Full of puzzles, Action, very close to a movie and a game fitted into one. Its about a character known as gordon freeman in a twisted world fighting against a Alien Government known as the combine. Half Life 2, Episode 1- was less puzzling but was fun in the same aspects to Half Life 2 only major difference is that you now have someone helping you all the way through the game was my least favourite out of The Orange Box. It is Also the Shortest out of the series taking me 3 days to complete. Half Life 2, Episode 2- Ok this was my favourite out of The Orange Box i liked this because it introduced a new setting it was rural rather than fighting in a city. It was most difficult out of the 3 and took me about 5 days in total to complete and introduced new enemies known as Hunters which were pretty ace. I liked the challenges in this aswell it was aloso the most humouriss. Portal- The game portal was set in the same timeline as half life but took on a new character known as Shell (as seen in credits and internet sources) You are working for a company known as Apareture Science and are sleeping but wake up to find you are the only human left you are an experiment that is to overcome obsticals by using portals. Was extremely short 2 days and i finished this game but is slightly creepier and funny at the same time. Team Fortress 2- Is a multiplayer for live and well i found it really hard to get into partly because i only played it two days using a 48 hour trial but it has fun elements but it really depends on who you are playing with or against i can't really review this game easily but basically its Red team vs Blue team and they have class based combat alot like Star Wars Battlefront 2 things i didn't like well it was too short and most of it was really easy Episode 2 only showed a real challenge but it was really good

It's Orange The only reason I purchased this game was because I thought it was going to be Karl Pilkington's head in a box, sadly it wasn't. Which actually was a bonus as this game doesn't moan even half as much as Karl. Bonus.

A shame that Team Fortress 2 is broken The Orange Box contains Half Life 2, plus the current two plot extensions: Episodes 1 and 2. It also contains Portal and Team Fortress 2. There's plenty of detailed reviews here for the Orange Box and I don't want to repeat what's already been said. I thought the whole package was very good. I especially liked Portal's dry humour and Team Fortress 2 (TF2) has clearly had a lot of time spent on it and is a great multiplayer game. However I've deducted one star from the review because of TF2's network-related issues. It suffers badly from lag. A recent patch (released late March 2008 via Xbox Live) restricts the number of players to between 8 and 16 based on the host's bandwidth in an attempt to combat this, but even with Virgin Media's XL broadband package (up to 20mbps download, 768kbps upload) I'm unable to reliably host more than 10 players. While 4v4 multiplayer gaming is pretty much the norm for Xbox I was hoping for larger online games and TF2 appeared to promise this. Unfortunately it fails to deliver.

Best Game Ever! Best Game Ever!Best Game Ever!Best Game Ever!Best Game Ever!Best Game Ever! I have spent countless days playing all five games pure genius physics and action.

Great Deal Wonderful ideas and brilliantly set out, if only valve were bigger they would be the best. Loved the song at the end of Portal
