Orange box
I bought The Orange box on Steam. Besides being a completely painless online purchase the package is just rock solid. I’ve been playing Team Fortress 2 for a few weeks now (I got access to the beta because I prepurchased it) and it’s just great. It’s a brilliant looking game accessible enough for noobs that still rewards skill.
Portal came as a surprise. I knew it was supposed to be funny, but damn. I want to compare it’s sense of humor with the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, which should say a lot. I’ve replayed that game 2 or 3 times only to listen to the ending song (It’s just so cute and funny). It’s been getting a lot of attention in the online press lately and I’m glad I was able to play it before all of that with an unspoiled mind.
Episode 2 was the last of the bunch I played. I burned right through it in a day.. and while it “only” took 4.7 hours to complete it was like watching a 4.7 hour long blockbuster movie. Valve isn’t getting enough credit for the quality of their work. I’ll probably replay it once more to get all the achievements.
If you’ve got a Steam account you can add me to your friends list. My SteamID is Scarabus.
