It does, it just barely mentions it on the cover of the box.

The Orange Box comes with Half-Life2 and Episode 1 in their entirety.

I would say Orange Box because you would get TF2. One of the funnest games to play online.

I had the same reaction when I found that out. They really could have made that more clear on the cover of the box. It's mentioned in some fine print, almost as an afterthought. Enjoy the game, man. It is an amazing collection.

I just played through Half-Life 2 + episode 1. Amazing!

I would still say get it for PC though. But that's just me.

EDIT: You could also buy the Valve Complete Pack (yes, includes Left 4 Dead) for only $100. That would give everything, pretty much. :D

well, I want the pc version.. but having a console copy makes the load a bit easier on your computer, expecially if it's old. Not to mention achievos

Yeah, I have no idea why they didn't make it more obvious that HL2 and HL2 ep 1 are also in the Orange Box.  Becuase that's what made it a sale for me too.  You get all the Half-Life 2 games to date, in one.

Portal is such an awesome game that you should get both as I did.

It would of been criminal if you had not, now you just need to convince yourself how you need Portal SA as well. Should not be to difficult.

I still play Team Fortress 2 all the time. The Orange Box is cheap now, and the value you get for it is amazing. Portal, HL2, HL2: Episodes 1 and 2, and Team Fortress 2 — all that and it's probably only about ten bucks more than Still Alive. Definitely worth the extra money.
