Portal would be the best in this package. I’ve gotten countless hours of entertainment from such a cheap compilation.

I started The Orange Box on the Xbox 360. After falling in love with TF2 I picked up another copy for the PC. Best decision I’ve ever made!

This really is one of the best games ever made. I would pay full price for each game individually.

I like prtal,
i LOVE tf2,
but i dislike half life.
i dont know why, i like the characters, enemies, weapons, and graphics, but it seems like i get hung up on so many things simply because of hit detection.
one of the first things in the game, turning a water valve, took me 20 minutes simply because it didnt register.
The price was good though and i recommend this set.
