I begin the review times exceptionally directly to the conclusion, therefore the essence does not go under: The Orange Box is one of the best games collections that you could buy ever. Valve is well known for its sales policy with the games packages. This is the one for Valve very profitable to older, as a solo title almost sold out games (Half Life²) and smaller projects (portal) to bring to the man and largely very economical for us players, because we get so many good titles for much less money when they individually commercially available would be ... and get in doubt a few titles as a bonus or even discover new games that would otherwise have remained hidden from us. So in the case of portal, which has received in this way a large following. Whether the Orange Box is used in the case as an advertising platform for resonance studies for further HL² episodes or not, this is me care less. The fact is that Portal is an incredibly innovative game that I would not have missed, and its continued presence in HL² universe would not bother me at all. Purchase reasons were beyond HL² Episode 1 + 2, which are both solid sequels a terrific game and know how to convince all in all. The initial game is sublime anyway over all doubts. That I have been obsessed with this is not a problem thanks to the Verschenkoption of Steam. Another reason to buy: Team Fortress 2 as an optical counterpoint to the realistic held HL². The cartoon graphics may be used to, in my opinion, is very refreshing, because just not as a pseudo-realistic shooter à la Battlefield. The so hotly debated in advance circumcision adheres well within limits: The German death animation in my opinion fits much better into a scenario than the original. Overall, a very round story that I can recommend without restrictions. Many great games in a price more than fair overall package. And for everyone: both solo and multiplayer get their money and with portal itself is a tactical game on board.
