    It’s hard to not recommend these five titles for the price of the Orange Box. Each of them have the chance to, and likely have already become, classics. Now, what did I say before…ah right: Orange Box is a great package, filled with excellent games that are instant classics, and is a must-play for any gamer that enjoys a solid story, polished gameplay, and a great deal.

    The key word that’s being tossed about at the moment when The Orange Box is discussed is ‘value’. For the price of one game, you’re getting a heck of a lot of gaming goodness that is sure to keep you entertained for a long time to come. In fact, one of the only bad things you could say about The Orange Box is that the box art is pretty terrible. Read more

    Really, The Orange Box is a must-have game. There are few games that even begin to approach the value and quality that can be found here. If you remember in 2004 we gave Half-Life 2 our game of the year award. In The Orange Box not only do you get the 2004 game of the year, but three new games that could easily be considered contenders in their own right. Without sounding like a salesman trying to pitch something to you, it’s time you go out to the store and make the ... Read more
