Orange Box on the whole was a triumph, a huge success. Its really hard to overstate my satisfaction.

But I never got any cake. :(

It is, especially with the damn helecopter chasing you. It was good to give it some of its own medicine back.

Agreed, OTOH I went through it in a few hours, split up of course. I think they are going to be available as separates, though they will be more far expensive collectively than buying the orange box.

You mean you never finished or you didnt buy any?

The whole course is possible, all you have to do is work it out. Think accountant, pencil, constipation and work it out... ;)

You can buy the games seperate now, I saw them in Game last week. They now sell Portal and Team Fortress 2 as seperates and then there is the Half-Life 2 Episode collection that has both Episodes 1 and 2, although the episode collection does cost £20 and the Orange Box is only £27 on their website.

I played half life 2 orange box on the 360 after I played bioshock, and I was thoroughly disappointed.

Its still good though.

Ive managed to do all six, some of them are real tough though.

Ive done the first challenge limited gates mission in seven gates, but its supposedly possible in five?

You fool! As said above portal is worth it alone. Plus before I came to Oz I saw Orange Box on offer for 20 quid so Im sure you can pick it up cheaply. I pre-ordered it off steam as soon as possible (you got TF2 a few weeks eariler) and becuase I already owned HL2 and EP1 they have me 2 vouchers to give those games to someone else :)

I loved EP2 (As much as I loved HL1, HL2, EP1) and I cant wait for EP3! Hopefully Ill be in a position to be able to play it, some-one has to have some computer I can steal for a few hours.
