 Almost a year and still going strong! September 23, 2008
It has almost been a year since The Orange Box released and I still almost play it at least three times a week! This is by far the best deal ever in gaming. There is something for everyone to enjoy. If you have never played half life, they are all included in this GAME! Portal is amazing and TF2 is why I still play a year later. First and only game I have paid $60 for and can say its worth the money!
Hours of Engaging, Breakthrough Gameplay September 13, 2008
Portal and Half-Life are two of the most interesting and unique games I've played on the XBox. They're as good as BioShock and Halo.
Half-Life 2: Episode 1 has some slow spots - too many zombies
Episode 2 is different and surprising - with a great hot-rod sequence and a frightening new enemy - the Hunter.
Excellent value, around 30 hours of good times! September 10, 2008
The Orange Box rocks for 4 games and does well in the 5th.
Having played HL2 on the PC, I first jumped into portal:
Portal is a first person puzzle game with some quality writing for the AI that accompanies you through your levels. Clever players are required here and I enjoyed the challenges involved. Puzzles are tough, but not too tough to reduce the fun. Level designers were careful to leave hints about where to put things in the first few levels. They also occasionally restrict you from an obvious cheat by making some floors/ceilings/walls incapable of opening a portal. The end was a lot of fun and was an excellent "final test" of the skills you developed during the puzzles.
HL2 is such a high quality game, but appears a bit dated even on the 360. I won't say much about it here, since the controls transferred well and the difference between PC / 360 was pretty minor.
Episode 1 and Episode 2 were also enjoyable, episode 1 clearly feeling like an addition and not quite as polished a game experience as HL2. But Episode 2 was pretty fun until the end, when the player gets overwhelmed in a siege scenario and only awesome basketball skills will get him/her out. (play it... you'll understand what I mean later).
Finally that leaves TF2. I suppose i'm jaded after playing hundreds of hours of TF on "GLQuake" and TF on half-life so maybe my opinion here should be taken with a grain of salt. It's a good time but as I've found with most other xbox multiplayer games there isn't as strong a community (I don't know to specify a favorite server to play at)... and the lack of custom server rules has made things a bit more bland. I used to like the server-customized sounds and music of the old TF on quake... but hey.
anyways for the 360 this game has put together the best ratio of fun per dollar. Definitely worth it's weight.

This game is truly a must have for video gamers. It's been rated 9.5 out of 10 and it well deserves it. It's 5 games on 1 disc and it's packed with hours of exciting game play. purchase this game and you will not regret it!
This game sounds like a hell of alot of fun. August 11, 2008
Based on the reviews.... this game sounds really fun. But what i want to know is does it require xbox live? None of the reviews mentioned this.
