Comes with : Team Fortress 2 , Portal and Half-Life 2 : Episode Two

Been waiting desperately for this.
Been playing the beta of Team Fortress 2 since the beginning and this morning (09:00 in Holland) Portal and Episode Two were unlocked for play on Steam.

So I set up my coffee and cigarettes and started with Portal wich is an amazing game.
It has some hard puzzles in it and I recommend it for people who
play games very often.

The game puts you in 'The Aperture Science Lab' and you're more like a labrat then a character with emotions.

The gameplay is based on the 'Portal Device Handheld' wich gives you the power to create... Portals.

I don't want to spoil much but it's a magical experience firing a Portal for the first time.

The 'voice' of the lab pulls you through the game, gives you tips on how to complete some puzzles and makes some funny jokes sometimes.

It's a perfect game to drop in and out.

I completed it in about 3 hours but I was just playing it non-stop.
After you complete the 'story' you unlock the Challenges and Advanced Maps.

You get an idea reading these two.

I'd give Portal an 8 out of 10.
It's quite short for the hardcore gamer.
The challenges are deserved a warm welcome.
I recommend Portal to everyone.
It's a very original game and I'm sure you'll like it.

I'm gonna play Half-Life 2 Episode Two now.
Been waiting for 2 years to get to know more of the story.

Oh and The Orange Box is released on the Xbox 360 too.
I only got 1 thing to say.

Buy it !

i can help you out :) i've got half life 2 but not episode 1 and once i go out and get it at a retail store i'll be more than happy to give you half life 2 as a gift (btw even if i got the orange box online i still wouldn't be able to gift until it came out of the retail stores, i've read the info)

so once i come back with my purchase i'll install it and then send u the gift by about 7 or 8 o clock (UK Time) be on steam and i hope i helped u out mate

Picked this up for 360 as well. Portal is fun and the speaker woman is pretty funny. Team Fortress is fun but i'm not too good @ it and well Half-life is, of course, awesome.

I finished Episode Two just yesterday.
Lol day at release and I completed Portal too :lol:
I'm a fucking freak.

Anyway it's way better then Episode One I can tell you.
For me it didn't even feel like an episode anymore.

It was like half-life fucking 2 1/2.
You don't want spoilers hmm....
If you're a half-life story freak like I am you'll be quite fucking satisfied.

What do I need to tell more... it fucking rocks... for me it was better then the original Half-Life 2.

Ah I got this on thursday, but haven't been able to play much before this weekend!

I'm at chapter 5, almost 6 in Episode Two!
And at level 18 of 19 in Portal!
Haven't tried much of TF2 yet, but it was much more fun than CS! :-D

I fucking love it! 8-)

The Half-Life series is definitive my favourite game series ever 8-) 8-)

Just finished Ep. 2. I won't spoil anything, but WOW! Never experienced a game quite like that before.

But, if Barney isn't in Ep. 3, I'm going to boycott it :lol:
