Orange Box has a much longer play value (around 50-100+ depending on if you play TF 2 or not) Mass Effect, though still an amazing game with lots of great story, is short and the exploration is very repetitive. Both games however have great game-play mechanics.Niether Orange Box nor Mass Effect have the 'run and gun' game-play.Half-life2 is all about the physics while ME is all about the micro-managing style of game-play. TF 2 is all about team-work. If youlike shooters like CoD 4 or Halo, you will not like either of these games, however, if you enjoy shooters with strategy, you will love these games. The better of the two, in my opinion, is Orange Box because of its playability. ME will only last you 30 hours, more if you go for all the achievements. I would rent ME because it is only good for three play-throughs, then it gets boring. OrangeBox (TF 2)can be played many times and each class is different. Portal is also one of the best puzzles you'll ever play. However, it is very SHORT.
I, at one point, had 97 friends. However, due to the fact that they didn't have many games that I did, I deleted most of them. I was left with 23 friends.
I think I understood you. If you already have a 360, you should trie using the ethernet cable and seeing if it gets you online. However, you will have wires all over the house. Look on your router, there should be many ports, one to the computer and one to the modem. There might be more, but they are not important. Plug the ethernet cable into one of the empty ports, and you should be able to get online.
On XBL, you can't create an online match if you have a firewall. This is absurd because without a firewall, all the viruses are free to enter. I have tried to create co-op matches, and it won't allow me to create one. This is very bothersome, mainly on Crackdown. The host gets all the "kill points." If you join a room and kill a gang leader that you haven't killed on your server, it won't count, and the host will get all the credit. Some people say that the firewall issue is due to a glitch that causes everyone's 360 to freeze. This might be valid for multiplayer matches, but not co-op. Why would someone is the right mind want to glitch his/her partner. Is anyone else having this issue (I know of two friends that due) and a solution that won't cause me to get all the viruses? Thanks in advance.
