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.

In addition to Half-Life 2 and the expansion pack Episode One, The Orange Box also features the following new games:

Half-Life 2: Episode Two - the second chapter in Valve's award-winning trilogy, taking gamers beyond the walls of City 17 for the first time.

Portal - A groundbreaking new kind of action game that will forever change the way gamers interact with their environment, much like Half-Life 2's gravity gun rewrote the rules for how gamers manipulate in-game objects and use physics.

Team Fortress 2 - The long-awaited return of the legendary king of role-based online multiplayer games, Team Fortress 2 pushes the Source Engine to new heights with a daring new art style and deep multiplayer gameplay for nine distinct roles.

I hate the install method and running the games through steam.
Why when you buy the game you have to go through so much to actually play the game?
Half life is great game though.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars This is the best PC game I have got in ages.

I played Half Life 1 when I was quite young and I just never had the urge to play Half Life 2 even though the first was amazing for it's time and still is.

I bought it a few days ago and I'm already hooked.

Portal = One of the best games of all time, easily the best puzzle game in my opinion
Half Life 2 - I've only just started and so far it's incredible, their attention to detail really shows.
Team Fortress 2 - Not played it yet but that also looks incredible.

A must buy for any FPS guy, even just for Portal on it's own.
