Advantages: +5 games in one +Portal is great +Generally good games Disadvantages: -Slightly over rated -Graphics aren't great -Long load times
...is actually five games for the price of one, theres Half-life 2
Episode One
Episode Two
Team fortress 2
Portal
Now the episodes are like an add-on to the half-life 2 games, portal is like a puzzle minigame and team fortress is the multiplayer mode. I don’t have my PS3 connected to the internet so cant rate the multiplayer, but I've been told it’s very good!...And all the games are on the same disk!
When you go into the game you ... ...a case of move to the one you want and press X so nothing difficult! When you get into the game you go to the games menu screen (like a standard "start new game" "load mission" etc. screen)
Half life 2 (and episodes) :
The game is a first person shooter; it was originally released on PC around 3 years ago. You play as Gordon Freeman who was a scientist working for a company who opened a portal to another world, you then save the world. You then ...

Advantages: great range of game Disadvantages: not enough rewards
One of the biggest bargains on the market, half life 2 with both expansions, portal and TF2 for only £20!
This is 5 games, yes, 5! and they are all completely different, i'll start with half life 2;
its a classic, yes, its an older game so it isnt the prettiest but it is one of the best first person shooters of all time, not only does it test your playing ability but its also tests your brain with puzzles that come to you. Following the adventures ... ...enemies as you fight the system with the rebels in an imprisoned society. The expansion packs, episode 1 and 2, both provide a worthy add on to the original and provide hours of playtime and enjoyment.
Portal is more of a mini game, the aim is simple, get to the exit for cake! using a series of portals that you shoot out of a gun you wiz your way though a puzzling game which is most enjoyable. Followed by a friendly, yet slightly freaky, woman you ...

Advantages: 5 game in 1 disc Disadvantages: NONE!!!
The Orange Box is 5 games from valve software bunched into 1 disk for a low price. My favorite game on the orange box is definitely team fortress 2. Team Fortress 2 is an online game where you have to communicate between your teammates. There are nine classes in team fortress 2 - The Heavy, Pyro, Scout, Soldier, Engineer, Medic, Demoman, Sniper and Spy. Each of the classes have their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, you couldn't rush into ... ...use teamwork to communicate in the game. This has to be one of my favorite multiplayer game ever. I still haven't gotten tired of it, after hours and hours of playing! The main reason I bought the Orange Box was for Team Fortress 2. Half Life, Half Life episode 1, Half Life episode 2, and Portal are also on the orange box. I haven't played Portal yet and have barely played the rest of the game on the Orange Box ( I've been hooked on Team Fortress ...

Advantages: team fortress 2 is brilliant Disadvantages: other games are no good
The game would appear to be good value for money as it contains 5 games, however half-life was a definite let down with similar game play and not great action. portal was poor with not much real enjoyment, it became very repititive. However team fortress 2 has to be one of the best online game ever made if you enjoy comedy violence and first person shooting. the cartoon graphics is brilliant and really makes the game funny and a real must buy (probably ...
