Half-Life 2: The Orange Box

Best played on the PC

Pros Cons
Loads of content Unresponsive controls
Innovative concepts

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!
