I hate to be that guy.  You know who I'm talking about.  That guy who has been playing videogames since Pong, and is a member of a video games forum but needs advice on what to buy.  That guy who says I have a Console A, I want to buy Console A 2, but should I buy Console A 2 or System B 2.  I hate that guy.  But, here I am.

Portal: Still Alive or The Orange Box?

I played the Portal demo.  I love it.  I intend to buy it, but want the best deal.  On one hand, we have Portal on the Orange Box.  Portal is the only game I'm interested in, but the other two games are highly acclaimed.  The Achievements in Portal appear to be easier in The Orange Box too.  I can get the game for less than $30.

Or, Portal: Still Alive.  $15 gets me the enhanced version of the game.  Achievements are tougher, but I get more of what I love.  No Half Life ep 2 or Team Fortress 2, though.  Still, I have no history with those franchises, and I think I can live a pretty full life without ever playing them.

What's a man to do?

 

Seriously, I'm asking you.  What's a man to do?
