Put simply, is the package 'The Orange Box' by Valve worth buying?

depends

 

 

 

if you like FPS's its has the half-life 2 series

 

if you like puzzles it has portal

 

if you like online FPS's it has tem fortress 2

 

 

 

if you like 2 or all 3 GET IT, if you only like one of those 3 i suggest renting it

There is already a thread for it. I'd rent it to see if you like the Half Life parts to it, if so, buy it. I personally don't like HL2 that much and I got bored with TF2 after one or two games. Portal rocked though.

 

 

 

I'd rent and if you enjoy it, buy it. 5 games is only a great deal if you like them.

Unless he wants to get it for the computer. Which I would highly suggest, seeing as TF2 has a much larger group of people, plus keyboard+mouse make Portal easier to control. I absoultely love it, and it's definitely worth the small amount of money (considering it's 5 games if you don't already have HL2). It has been stated before, and I'll say it again: It's worth it just for Portal, one of the most innovative games to have come out in a while. It may be short, but it's an excellent experience. And TF2 is just an overall excellent online FPS. So, as long as you like FPS's, then I'd say get it.

Yes.

 

 

 

Portal was my favorite game of 2008 with EP2 coming in second. It's a great package all around.

Portal justified the $5 rental, no way I would have felt satisfied if I had dropped $60 on it. TF2 sucks for the 360 imo, maybe it's better for computer.
