Half-Life 2 (Orange Box)

The Valve's Orange Box is clearly the deal of the century : it offers five epic games, for the price of one. Half-Life 2 is a well-known FPS which bring you to a dystopia : Aliens took control of Earth. With varied guns, you'll fight your way throught City 17, which is infected by enemies of all kinds. With the Gravity Gun, you'll be able to enjoy the full power of the Havoc Physic Engine : you can crush, break, destroy, throw everything. Half-life 2 offers many features. You'll be able to lead a squad, drive some funny vehicles (buggy, hydroplane...) and more... Portal is an odd but terrific puzzle-game : use your brain and your portal gun to complete ever test chambers and escape from GlaDOS. And eat your cake. Team Fortress 2 is a funny FPS. Choose between 9 classes, and play in one of the eight game modes : CTF, Point capture, Territory Capture...

The orange box contains 5 fantastic games: Team Fortress 2, Portal, Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2:Episode one, Half-Life 2:Episode two; The 3 Half-Life games are solo fps adventure that happen in a gloomy future. The story is really interesting. Portal is a puzzle adventure game. You have a portal gun which allow you to create two portal and with these two gate you have to reach some parts of the map that you can't reach normally. The atmosphere is really involved and the level-design is effective. Team Fortress 2, one of the best multiplayer fps which i could play. There are 9 classes( Scout, Pyro, Soldier, Demoman, Engineer, Sniper, Heavy, Medic, Spy). The gameplay is really fun. You can have fun with every classes. By the win, e-sports is increasing in this game, mainly with the 6vs6 mode. Finally, I think these games are essential to have.

If you're into PC gaming, look no further than this package. Not only is the price one hell of a selling point when you consider you get not one but Five games, but the games are all good. I've played Portal and that's a game that you don't know how good it is until you get stuck into it. The Half Life 2 games are just extremely well made and enjoyable to play and make a change from the typical war based shooters the market is full of. Finally, if you get involved and get the hang of Team Fortress 2, you'll get addicted. It takes a few goes to understand how to play, but stick at it! What's more, you don't need a thousand pound PC to play these!

You get the original Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode 1, Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2. 5 games for less than £20! Bargain! Half Life 2 is still, in my opinion, a great looking game and the good thing is you don't need a particularly high spec PC to play it. When I first played it I was blown away by the AI. Throwing things at the security guards is particularly entertaining. The story is interesting and the main characters are surprisingly engaging. Episode 1 picks up right where Half Life 2 left off, and although quite short, is full of action and will keep you playing. Episode 2 is relatively short too, but equally as fun. The forest environment is stunning and the action sequences are fantastic. Portal is a quirky, original puzzle game, which although quite short is very re-playable. Finally you have Team Fortress 2, a class-based multiplayer game. awesome - the style is fantastic!! Overall, The Orange Box is a must have for any gamer, and at such a cheap price, you can't go wrong
