    Wow. 3 amazing new games in one package... Not many games deserve a grade this high... But these certainly do.

    Well there's 5 games in total included in the Orange Box; 3 being brand new. I'm a bit speechless, as the set is phenomenal, but I'll try and sputter out a bunch of words to see if they can give anyone concerned an idea... Read Full Review

    Halo what?

    It's been about 10 years since the first half-life. Half-Life 1 is probably the best game ever made. Orange Box is what time, innovation, and not having $ as motivation can turn a game into. Bungie took only 6 years to m... Read Full Review
