People are complaining about the price, yet they don't realize that if you take out HL2 + EP1, you get 3 games for $60
I'm surprised to see how many people are whining about the price. Yes you get HL2 and EP1 which YOU may already have, you still get 3 games for 60, one of those games being a multi-player game that is completely differen... Read Full Review

Excellent value
The other reader reviews are ridiculous, they're complaining about the value of this game when you get 5 excellent products. Even with the new products alone (ep2, tf2 and portal), $60 would have been about right in comp... Read Full Review

It's nice to have the games in 1 package, but not for $60. Portal is just an irritating puzzle game.
I was hoping for a whole new Half Life experience, I was wrong. I have the opportunity to play my old half life games anytime and dont anymore, Portal is just an irritation for those looking for a fun shooter. Half li... Read Full Review
