The Orange Box

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 life is a fun game in off itself but to rate it again with such high marks makes no sense. I give this product less than rave reviews because getting the same game over again with a puzzle game isnt what I bought my system for. You cant release the same game over with the same reviews......

.I got bored very fast and cant see the thinking behind charging $60 except to make money off of hype of an old game.

EA seems to do this all the time,,can you say Madden..

Rent it or buy it on sale so you can have the games in one place but dont pay full price.
