The Orange Box

One of my friends came to visit me this past weekend and he gave me an Xbox 360 game to play called "The Orange Box." I had no idea what it was and he told me that it was a combination of a couple of games. After he left I began to play Half Life 2, a PC game that I had heard was good but had never played, and I was hooked. The Orange Box has 5 games "Half Life 2" Half Life 2: Episode 1" "Half Life 2: Episode 2" "Portal" and "Team Fortress 2." The first 4 games are based in the same storyline and "Team Fortress" is another storyline entirely.

I have played through all of Half Life 2, and Half Life 2: Episode 1. I am almost finished with Episode 2. I absolutely love this game and recommend it to anyone. It is a great chance for console gamers to play some of the best PC games ever made. I certainly hope that this is a step towards PC exclusive games coming to the consoles because there is some great content that console gamers have been missing out on.

I will post a full review of Half Life 2 and the first two episodes within a few days but I just want to put this out there for anyone who hasn't heard of this awesome game.
