I have bought 2 Valve games. One was a collector's edition of Half-Life 2, which came with Half-Life 1: Source, and CounterStrike: Source, a T-shirt, and maybe some other stuff. The other was the Orange Box, which had Half-Life 2, 2 episodes, Portal, Team Fortress 2, and Peggle.
How many Valve games should I put in my collection in the database? 2? Or 8? Or 10? I may have even forgotten another bonus episode or expansion or something hidden in there somewhere.
Normally, if I buy something like Super Mario All-Stars or Sonic Gems Collection or Mega Man Anniversary Collection, I just put that into my game collection here, instead of listing all the separate games on their separate platforms. But when it's a PC game anthology, and all the games are PC games, and they're all separately downloaded from Steam and separately installed on my computer... do I list them as the 2 that I bought, or do I list them as several separate games? Or both?
With the Orange Box, that's what I bought, but I never get to play "the Orange Box." As far as I'm concerned, that's just the name of the anthology of separate games that I now have.
If I bought the Orange Box on a console, I'd list it as just the Orange Box, because Portal isn't available on its own.
But on the PC, I kinda want to list Portal and the Orange Box.
How have you dealt with this conundrum?
