yojohn, please ignore any non-PC reviews. I totally understand how PS3 fans could be annoyed by EA's piss poor port but it does an injustice to the real Orange Box.

Half Life 2 speaks for itself. Ep1 dragged but ep 2 made up for it. Portal is an innovative puzzler that I want to see more of but the cream, the cream of the crop is the legendary Team Fortress 2.

TF2 has probably tripled in content since it's release 2 years ago and it's ALL FREE!

Reglar updates that have led to an arms race between new offensive and defensive tactics.

Same weapon/same class FPS are dead to me. I'm class based all the way now.

The gameplay and content per $ for this bundle is phenominal and deserves no less than full marks. I think the Orange Box deserved a 10 when it released so it's upto 11 or 12 with all the free extra content.

12/10

That's a good point.  This is going to be another flawed ranking excercise due to the weak EA port on PS3.  The fact that Half Life is in many ways a PC franchise ported to consoles in itself makes this a rather odd choice for a console centric site.  On PC Half Life sold more than Halo I believe, but of course sold much less on consoles, so this is rather like asking a bunch of PC centric gamers to review Halo.

 

 

I have been waiting to see if Halo or Halo 2 will ever make it to this thing cause I'll gladly pull out the 5s and 6s.
