With a Ps3 release due December 2007, The Orange Box compilation includes: Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2:Episode One, Half-Life 2:Episode Two, Portal and Team Fortress 2.
Scoring 98% from 7 reviews on Metacritic.com
Reviews Summary
A sci-fi masterpiece, a clever puzzler and a multiplayer monster wrapped into one
That so much great content is offered at the standard single-game price is astonishing.
A landmark achievement in gaming value and one of the easiest buying decisions you'll make all year
The Orange Box offers everything any fan of first-person shooters could possibly want
While there might be longer games, this is a near-perfect blend of varied games.
It seems that Valve (developers) just can't make a bad game.
The Orange Box is probably the best videogame deal ever.
Each individual game runs amazingly well on the Xbox 360. The graphics are amazing as is the presentation.

OOOH! OOOH!
I've got Half Life for the Dreamcast and PS2! So far I've been fantastically crap (one might use the term 'craptabulous') at playing it (hence the reason for me buying a Half Life strategy guide for the Dreamcast version), but I relly fancy the PC version of HL2... this article has made me want it more...
BTW I've missed you Elderly! have you been in Burma kicking fascist ass?
Holy crap!!! I thought it was a PC exclusive. Planning to get it for my 360 ASAP.
Despite this. I'll NEVER play this game. NEVER! Curse you Half Life!!!!
*hides in closet till Orange Box passes*
YES! YES! YES!
(wears Yes-signed underwear)
And it's only 40$ for all these games! Now, thats value for money...
December for the PS3 release? I thought it was November.
A must buy!!

Gnome cover yourself! We're Catholics you know, we find this liberalism hard to deal with...
HL2OB is the most tempting game to lure me into the world of PC gaming... Bah! I'll never give up me consoles...
*bangs on closet door*
Hello, hello, who locked the door. whoever locked it, please unlock it when the travesty that is Orange Box passes.
*twiddles thumbs* oh, what do we have here. *spies cardboard box*

It is best to get it now because I'll be busy with other games in December.
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my..

Five games for the price of one seems like a great deal.
(Stunned, simply stunned and shocked gnme stops but fails to speak)
5 games in one fits in with my chaotic filing system Funnyman, least that way i'll always know where at least five of my games are....

(ederly stares at Gnome... opens the window.....) sorry FK... you know what Gnomes are like..
what? Gordon Freeman was here... where? did someone get his autograph, why do i always miss these things....
Really? You want his autograph? I would be content with having dinner, lunch, and hopefully breakfast with Alyx Vance.
Aly Vance...breakfast? oh my god!!!! right... that's it.. (superglues feet to floor.....)
this is the last time i miss out on the celebrities....
