While the graphics are not the best they have TF2 looks like a Pixar cartoon; and maybe one can say the games lack substance on their own -- Portal is only 4hrs, TF2 lacks online abilities -- but as a package it is a steal and even with the shortcomings TF2 is a blast to play online: after all if you don't work as a team you're dead

The orange box is loaded with great games! Portal quickly became my favorite and I will never get tired of hearing a twisted angry manipulative computer sing death threats to me. Believe me, Portal 2 is going to be big!

Valve's compilation The Orange Box is a schizophrenic's delight: it offers a new chapter in the Half-Life 2 saga, a wonderful multiplayer game in Team Fortress 2, and the spatial puzzler Portal, which went on to be a critical darling and a minor hit in its own right. As a package, it's a bit of a mess. Taken individually, each of the games has lots to offer. I still think it would've made more sense to offer each of these as download games -- I feel like the bundle concept just doesn't work well for this selection. Still, one of the best values in 2007 and a compilation with a lot to offer. Too bad it's hard to play on a console controller!

I would give my kidney for Team Fortress 2 alone, so i gusee i owe the entire package my internal organs.

This is definitly one of the best collections of games you can buy for 60 bucks. It cool that if you haven't played Half-Life 2 game you can catch up and then finish the series with Half-Life 2 Episode one & two. You also get a game call Portal and Team Fortress 2. All these games are awesome and it amazing that for 60 bucks you get 5 amazing games.
