The Orange Box
I've seen folks on my Xbox Live friends list playing it, so I know you're out there... what do you make of it?
I migrated from Windows XP to Max OS X just before Half Life 2 originally came out and so it was a disappointment that i never got to play what was a highly anticipated and very well recieved game. It's true, I could of played it on the original Xbox but that was very meh, so I passed.
But Valve ave brought to us The (venerated) Orange Box and now not only can I play Half Life 2, but I can play Episode One, Episode Two, Portal and Team Fortress 2. That really is the bargain of a lifetime.
HL2 seems a bit slow to get going so far but that's okay because it's handled well. Portal is a hell of a lot of fun, although I got stuck on Chamber 18 and haven't figured it out yet. And Team Fortress 2, while very cool (love the art style), is a game that I appear to totally suck at. Ah well.
Did anybody else play the PC version and still decide to pick up The Orange Box and replay it?
