Orange Box is a tremendous value. My friend picked it up last night and we spent 6 hours playing Team Fortress.

Metacritic score looks great -- hopefully, scores like this will inspire people on the fence to buy the game. I'm really curious about sales for this title, what with it being released so close to Halo.

And just a random factoid: if The Orange Box keeps up the pace and remains over 90 for Metacritic (it's at an astonishing 98 at the moment, so I'm not seeing this being a problem), the Xbox 360 will have more 90+ score Metacritic games than PS3, Wii, PSP, and Nintendo DS combined.

That's why we use gamerankings. They filter out innacurate reviews better, wheras Metacritic counts any review submitted to them. Gamerankings makes note of those reviews, but only counts ones that meet their criteria. On gamerankings the 360 currently has 7 games rated above a 9 if we don't count Castlevania: SotN. Which trust me you don't want to count because that would require we count Virtual Console titles...

The Wii has 3
The DS has 4
The PS3 has 1
The PSP has 1
The 360 has 7

So yeah, it's an impressive list, but it doesn't surpass them all combined.
