Great selection of new and old games from Valve, well worth the money as they are all still highly playable.

User Rating: 9.5 | The Orange Box PC

Even though I already own Half Life 2 and Episode 1 this was still worth buying. I have yet to play Episode 2 and Team Fortress 2 but both look fantastic. Shamefully it has been Portal and Peggle that have kept me so occupied that I havent gotten round to playing the other 2 games.

Portal in fun and innovative and highly playable, once completing the 19 missions you have time to go back and perfect each task unlocking specilist maps and bonuses, increasing the challenge rating without losing any of the fun. The entire game is very funny and the voice of the computerised "helper" is quite sinister.

Peggle is fun and reminds me of the old arcade classic Arkanoid, it can be addictive but unfortunatly it is only a short game and is over way too quickly! You do have the opportunity to purchase the longer version, I would say its not that addictive though!
