And Portal.

Right, see this Orange Box thingy? Is there anyway of just buying TF2 on its own? I've already got a lot of the stuff that's in the package.

I hope Valve aren't being a bunch of fannies with this.

Oh, and thumbs up for Pirates! - stupidly underrated game.

And, as mentioned by Scott, Flashback is possibly my favourite game of all time.

Yeah man but it's $30

I don't have anything in it so I'm stupidly excited about HL2 Ep's 1&2 and the rest.

man is portal addictive. edit: and, BEST. END-CREDITS. EVER!

Orange box is well worth the £25 for EP2, TF2 and Portal - but it is possible to buy each game on its own. If you already have HL2 and EP1, you can give them away to a friend.

Problem is, anyone I know that I would recommend playing HL2 & EP1 to... I'd recommend TF2 to as well, so they might as well just buy the OB.

I recommend:

Magic Carpet by Bullfrog (With 3D glasses if you have them!)
Baldurs Gate 2 Co-Op by Bioware
Gary's Mod by Gary McModderson*
Freespace 2 by Volition (Now open source in the guise of OpenFS2)
Warcraft 1,2 & 3 by Blizzard (not WoW though ¬_¬)
Ultima Online by Origin.

Think that'll do for now.

my cousins had an early atari console thing that took cartridges and there was a game on that where you were at the top of a castle wall and had to throw rocks down at attacking orcs who were making ladders up the wall, if they got to the top you had to fight them with a sword. anyone know what this was called? i loved it.

Oh i forgot about Company of Heroes, best RTS game I've ever played.

Agree with all of that. I didn't have any of the orange box games so £25 was a bloody bargain for me.

Portal is class and the END credits are indeed the best.

Not played TF2 much as I'm still too heavily into CSS.

Johnny5 · 12th October 2007, 10:59 AM

I bought the orange box yesterday, impressed so far, even though i've only played EP1, haha.

I only had HL2 so likewise, it's mega good value.

Can't wait to get TF2 on the go.

humndislocation · 12th October 2007, 11:32 AM

Glad to hear people are getting into team fortress.

I've not played TF2 yet, but I've always been of the opinion that Team Fortress Classic pissed on Counterstrike from a massive height.

Rebelius · 12th October 2007, 06:42 PM

like the generation before, TF2 pisses on CSS from way up high! - for what I look for in games anyway, and that's fun, fun and some more fun! TF2 is awesome!

had a little go on Episode 2 last night but not much. Seemed pretty good but the voices are a little too quiet, I wish Alyx would speak up a bit when you run away from her, or when you're looking the other way.

Finished all the portal story and advanced maps, but some of the challenges are bloody RIDICULOUS!

Wee_rick · 12th October 2007, 08:14 PM

Borrowed the Darkness the other day from our good forum user Public Wig.... what a fucking game. The humour is dark, the atmosphere is incredible and eating the hearts of zombie Nazis has never been so refreshing...wait, i havent done that in a game before....EVEN BETTER!

but yeah, the game play is great, the AI is pretty Avarage but hey, their working on it.

i have to say that picking off the lights as you creep through houses and sewers is a fucking nice touch....

the Loading screens...what a fucking nice touch...

Just..wow..is all i have to say. Looking forward to getting Gold Live next week again to get blasting away multiplayer style.

I sold that game for transformers. both games were shit in my opinion. sold transformers for s
