Orange Box
Posted by hailin on October 12, 2007
The Orange Box has landed in my 360. I have to admit it is awesome. Just awesome.
What you get in that package is phenomenal. I won’t go into the details of the packaging because everyone that reads here already knows.
I have only had time to dive into Team Fortress2 and Portal but I am extremely impressed with both. TF2 being so much fun. I am not a fragger, never been. There is just something loose and fun about how TF2 handles it all. Plus the class based system doesn’t torture you for not being a good shot, unlike Halo3, or GOW. Not that talented with the cross hairs? Try a medic, demoman or engineer. Not one of these classes will make you feel like a reject or insult you with death upon death. New to FPS? This is the game for you it is a sweet stepping stone into the more serious games. Halo, Counterstrike, Rainbow6, etc.
To put a MMO edge to it. I was cruising the forums for Valve and notice that even WoW players are taking notice of this game. I do wonder if the people from WoW that are interested in TF2 are heavy battleground players? I would have to say most likely.
Portal is unlike any game I have played before. Part FPS, part adventure, part puzzler. The AI guiding you through the game is insulting yet hysterical. It really is an amazing experience.
For 60 bucks you really can’t go wrong whether you are getting The Orange Box on console or PC it will not let you down. I still need to put some more time into, but already I feel like I have made a worthy purchase.
Hailin signing out, peace and game hard.
PS I will be hosting TF2 games this weekend if anyone wishes to get in on the fun please add me to your gamertag list.
Hailin.
