New games this week: Orange Box edition

FF:Tactics and Renegade squad sounds good.

Looney tunes: AA sucks, the demo was an awful piece of crap.

The orange box is effing awesome but I have enough games already,I’ll get it when it hits the bargain bin.

Orange box for 38 bucks @ circuit city (PC Only) FTW!

Quake Wars too for that price.

Hmmm... I don't know which version of the Orange Box to choose.

If I buy the Xbox 360 version, I'll get achievements, but no Gmod. If I get the PC version, I'll get to play Gmod but not get achievements...

I think the PC version wins for me this time.

while i am definitely getting orange box and will love it religiously, the biggest releases seem to be the bleach games and ff: tactics to me. must buys if there ever were in my book. and, because its listed, puzzle quest finally coming to xbla will also be mine.

Um, you left off that Thrillville: Off the Rails was being released for every other console known to man. Apparently, its covering all the bases.

Getting Duck Amuck, guaranteed. Torturing Daffy Duck was one of my favourite childhood pastimes.

I'm getting both versions for achievements/to play with my live friends and pc b/c of the mods that are bound to hit and gotta have kb/m when it comes to valve stuff, but i gotta try it on my hdtv/surround too, yay orange box ftw

Ok guys, I have to rant about the marketing of this game.

Now let me preface by saying, I'm a big Half-Life series fan. I've already purchased the orange box and I'm happy with my decision.

That being said, I get sort of aggravated with Valve continually saying this is "the best deal in gaming". It isn't five games valve. It's one really old bargain-bin game, along with 2 short expansion packs for it, packed in with another game that if on the shelf by itself probably wouldn't sell for full price (Portal), and a multiplayer game, but then again most FPS's nowadays come with a solid multiplayer component anyway, so this doesn't really count as an extra game.

Really, I think all this content adds up to roughly the value of one game, which is entirely appropriate for the price and just fine, but it is by no means "the best deal in gaming".

The other component to this is that 2 of the 5 "Games" in this package are already owned by most of the people purchasing the Orange Box, so in that respect, it's a terrible deal for those people.

I just hate it when marketing types make bull**** claims like this. Do they really think that we're not smart enough to figure out that they're really feeding us crap and calling it candy?

TF2 + FFT FTW

anyone kinda sick of that geek on the cover? i mean he has glasses. knock glasses off, he fails right?

Rock and Roll Adventures, eh?

GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Stupid freaking red ring of death stopping me from playing The Orange Box. Stopping me from playing Halo 3 was one thing but this is just too much.
