I've beat everything in there it's awesome.

Let me make a recommendation, try the commentary mode. It's really cool, to get insight on how the game was designed, and it makes it worth replaying the levels(at least your favorite ones)

Yeah, OB is one of the best gaming deals of this year, five games for the price of one... And they are all good? How often does that happen?

 Only once a year max, but not every year.  Last year it was Metal Slug Anthology!

Portal had the most epic ending of all time.

End bosses have screamed, begged, wailed, exploded, withered, escaped, transformed, been imprisoned, been banished...

They have not sung me a cute little song.

OB beats the crap out of Halo 3.

Team Fortress 2 is such a better multiplayer game...



"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks

 You beat TF2?? Wow lol.

 

Seriously though, all of the games that can be beaten are an absolute treat and TF2 is a fantastic MP game for those who can't live without it.

1000 kill achievement = beat the game. ;)

I got that 1000 kill achievement back in September, pssh.

Seriously, though, I'm proud of my stats...I get to the top of the server very often, and I love it.



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

My copy is still unopened. I finished HL2 on the PC but that game is good enough for a second playthrough on the 360.

 



PS360 ftw!

Currently playing..........

Gears of War 2, GTA IV Lost and Damned, Little Big Planet (Yes I said I had no interest but my girl wanted to try it and we did and now Im hooked )

 

 

I take back what I said. The Orange Box contains a really fun game -- Portal. After spending about 7 hours with HL2, I am thoroughly unimpressed with it as a FPS. It is survival horror which is a niche I'm really bored with -- especially given what Bioshock did with that genre...

After spending a whole lot of time in an airboat -- wondering if it would ever end -- then finally ending only to have a gun put on it and thrown BACK in the Kanal, I pretty much was bored senseless. HL2 is highly overrated and I don't see the big deal. In my opinion, Halo 1, 2, and 3 all beat it hands down. After a while, this game becomes the "department of redundancy department" as it seems like every section of the game is just too contrived and fails at being "clever" as obviously valve intended.

I'm trading it in this afternoon and getting something else.



I hate trolls.

Systems I currently own:  360, PS3, Wii, DS Lite (2)
Systems I've owned: PS2, PS1, Dreamcast, Saturn, 3DO, Genesis, Gamecube, N64, SNES, NES, GBA, GB, C64, Amiga, Atari 2600 and 5200, Sega Game Gear, Vectrex, Intellivision, Pong.  Yes, Pong.

Er, no offense, but "surviving" in Bioshock was about as hard as convincing an infant to wet itself.

HL2 is, what? 5 years old? It's a bit dated by today's standards, but the story stomps the crap out of Halo's and, in case you didn't notice, Halo stole a whole pile of story elements right out of it. :P

And if you trade Orange Box in without trying TF2, you automatically go to hell. I swear, there was an official press release from the Vatican regarding this exact issue.
