"Masterpiece"

Brilliant game, well should I say brilliant games. The orange Box contains Half Life 2, Half Life 2: Episode 1, Half Life 2: Episode 2, Team Fortress 2 and Portal. When I first played the original Half Life I was simply shocked and amazed. Playing on my uncles old WIndows 98 playing Half Life was a blast for me when I was a kid, and about 5 years back I had the privilege of completing it fully, and I loved every minute of it. So, naturally I had very high expectations for Half Life 2, I wanted it to be the same spooky and dark atmosphere, the same story and the same creatures wandering around just waiting to be clubbed by the classic crowbar. Half Life 2 is simply an amazing game, and if not the best shooter out on any console. Forget about Call of Duty, this is where the talent is at. This is a brilliant Horror-Science Fiction shooter. Once you've finished with the amazing experience which is Half Life 2, you'll be even happier to know that there is 2 more games in the Half Life category; Episode 1 and episode 2. This games aren't as good as Half Life but they certainly are fun and add an extra few hours of a Half Life joy ride.

Portal and Team Fortress are unique and Funny Games. I can't really describe them in words, its best to experience these games without knowing too much about them, but I definitely know you'll enjoy them.
Brilliant package of entertainment containing one of the best best First-Person Shooter ever in existence.
