Half-Life 2 is a great FPS. And Episodes 1 and 2 step it up a notch. The graphics and sound in Episodes 1 and 2 are excellent. Episode 1, however, is a little too short.
The gem of this disc is Portal. What a great surprise. It only took about 4 hours to get through it all, but once I started I couldn't stop, and I didn't want it to end.
Didn't play Team Fortress 2 because I don't have XBOX Live Gold.

I first beat HL2:Episode 1 on PC over a year ago.

Now, I get to play HL2 (prequel 2 episode 1) and Episode 2.

Then for achievement purposes I'll play episode 1 again!

lastly, Team fortress is unique and great fun!!

The Orange Box is not just one great game, it is 5 great games, and at only $35 this retail season, it is one of the best values if you are looking to buy this game.

Half Life 2 is a great FPS, if not one of the best and most engaging on the 360. the graphics are amazing, and the sound quality and voice acting are superb. The achievments in Half Life 2 and throughout the entire Orange Box are really great, and will give playres a challenge.

Episode 1 and 2 are both great additions to Half Life 2. Episode 1 is excellent, and ep. 2 is even better. Both are very dramatic and satisfy in this world of weak storylines.

Portal. I can no say enough about this game that was seemingly thrown in for filler, but ends up being the shining light on the Orange Box. Although fairly short, GLaDoS will keep you coming back and playing again. I have beaten this game about 5 times now, just because the game is that enjoyable.

Team Fortress 2 is a great game for people looking for online action. One of the best online games on the 360 in my opinion. Their are multipple job classes and lots of action, and it is just very engaging and addicting.

All in all, The Orange Box is one of the must own games on Xbox 360, especially if you have not played Half Life 2 in the past.
