Skull Commander Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I'm kinda tempted to pick this up on 360, but it will proberly be after the festive period. I'v got virtua fighter 5 and call of duty 4 on order and don't have too much spare cash flowing. With any luck I will get it a bit cheaper by then too.

The Kernel Loaf Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Team Fortress 2 is awesome fun. Played Portal for about 5 mins, then went straight onto Episode 2.All in all, a worthy investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framheim Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 quite fancy it for portal and team fortress but i'll probably wait till next year and pick it up second hand cause i've already got half life 2 on the pc and i'm saving my pennies for mass effect and pro evo.

ZeromiserY Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 for steam downloaders (or anyone who regularly downloads large files NOT via torrent networks) try free download manager : Free Download Manager | Downloadit splits it up inot 20 pieces or so and downloads them all at once, speeding up your downloads. its 100% legal too. not sure if it will work with steam mind, worth a shot though. i get DL's up to 725kn/s with it that about an 15 minutes per 700 mbgot the box, finished portal, half way through HL ep2. portal is the shit, "the cake is a lie" and all that jazz. its crazy playing portal thens eeing 'aperture science' equipment throughout HL2 ep2.

Kan' Sharuminar Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Was all set to go into town to get the new FM, didn't bloody realise this came out as well. Shall have to get it as well, if only for Portal. And everything else that comes with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Portal is pretty short, but its fucking amazing. I was actually in love with GLaDOS by the end of it. Quite possibly the best ending to a game ever.Been playing TF2 for a while now, and it is also awesome. God knows when im gonna start HL2. lots to do.

Kan' Sharuminar Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Portal is fantastic, and I felt ever-so-guilty about the automated gun turrets. Never gave a crap about the Companion Cube after meeting them Working my way through the Half-Life Episodes, which are fantastic regardless. Team Fortress is grand as well. If ever there was a 'well worth the money' game, this is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Commander Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I can feel myself buckling. I'm so tempted to get this soon. The only problem is virtua fighter is out this week and that will proberly need my full investment of time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acey Trixx Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 portal was immense. just summin quite different i thought and i found it addictive..kept wanting to go back to finish off half life 2 but couldnt stop playing portal untill it was finished.

Diesel Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 The Escapist : Zero Punctuation: The Orange BoxGotta love Yahtzee. The man is a genius.Aye, spot on review - if you can keep up!I'm impressed that he managed to stretch Epi 2 out to 6 hours. I completed it in 4...and that's NOT a boast by the way, it's an indictment of how short the game is.Shame, coz Half-Life 2 as a rule has been excellent. My own personal jury is still out on Portal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sloth Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I got this yesterday (with an xbox). Half Life is one of my favourite games...EVER.5 games in one is an awesome deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull Commander Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I'v caved. Tomorrow (postal ineptitude notwithstanding), I should be in possesion of this game. Just in time for my 11 days off work. Back of the net! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaOfEnergy Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 got this a couple of days ago, still playin through HL2 , completed it on PC before but im enjoyin playin it again, must be a damn good game if its still good after bein released originally years ago. Portal and Team Fortress are also cool, would of probably prefered it if TF2 was less cartoony and more like the original TF mod for quake but its still fun. Portal is funnier than youd expect as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kernel Loaf Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Team Fortress 2 is awesome fun. Played Portal for about 5 mins, then went straight onto Episode 2.All in all, a worthy investment.That post didn't do the Orange Box justice.Portal - Fucking brilliant. I love this game. It is the perfect length, the laws behind the physics of the portals makes a lot of sense, and you have to give credit to Valve, because this game must have been damn hard to program. Don't expect a fps though (although that is fairly obvious, you'd be surprised)Half Life 2 Episode Two - Such an improvement over Episode One. A lot more action, the environments are fantastically detailed, the Hunters are damn tough and the final battle is insane. However, I am disappointed at two things - the length (Even with exploring every part of every map, I had only clocked up 3.4 hours of play) and the lack of any new weapons apart from the strider buster. Perhaps it would imbalance gameplay or something?Team Fortress 2 - One of the most balanced multiplayer I have played in a long time. I have yet to properly check out this game though.
