Fall 2007 Preview

Synopsis: The Orange Box delivers five innovative action games from Valve® - creators of the blockbuster Half Life® franchise, in one box. The Orange Box includes Half Life® 2: Episode Two, Portal™ and Team Fortress® 2 in addition to full versions of award-winning Half Life 2 and Half Life 2: Episode One for an engrossing first-person action experience.


My Take: These are some solid games. While Half-Life 2 isn't my favorite FPS of all time (blasphemy!), it was a fun game to play and I'm anxiously awaiting playing through episodes 1 and 2. Nothing additional is even needed to sell Team Fortress 2. This is a game that people have been waiting on for the better part of a decade now.

Finally there's Portal, which looks like it'll either be a lot of fun, or full of mouse breaking frustration. Of all the new games in the pack, this is the one I'm looking forward to the least. However, even if it's not the best, I have nothing but praise for Valve throwing in another game. The Orange Box, hands down, has the most potential hours of fun of any release this Fall.
