As a whole package, the Orange Box is the GOTY. You got one of the greatest games of all time (HL 2), its two sequels (one decent, one great), Team Fortress 2 (the best online shhoter in my opinion since BF2) and Portal, the best puzzle adventure game in years and maybe the funniest game ever? That inludes the last Zelda and Metroid games as far as puzzle adventures go).
I also disagree with the whole 360 version of TF2 being gimped. The only thing gimped about it are the server issues and that's not the game's fault.
The Orange Box also has the best Achievements system of anything on the 360. With all that said, I can't call OB the game of the year because I have to consider each game on its own. Still the best value in videogames ever in my opinion and on less packed years TF2 and Portal would both be GOTY candidates of mine like last year for example.

Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
