'First' Orange Box demo hits 360 tomorrow, Episode Two dedicated
10
360 owners are in for a very special Thanksgiving indeed. As if the Halo theme hitting Guitar Hero III for free wasn't enough to be thankful for, Valve – purveyors of fine gaming software – have just announced that the "first demo for The Orange Box," dedicated to Half-Life 2: Episode Two, will be available on Xbox Live Marketplace starting tomorrow. Yeah, we were drawn to that particular language as well, since it infers there could be a second and, Gordon help us, even a third sample platter of zesty Orange Box goodness. Regardless, you shouldn't need holiday deal lists to tell you that Orange Box is a steal but, in the off chance you need more coaxing, this demo oughta do nicely.

I really, really can't wait for more TF2 character videos.

Well this could help garner a bit more interest during the holidays since sales have dropped quite a bit since its release.

This is fine and all, but where's Portal? People say I have bad taste in games, but Portal actually looks interesting enough for a try.

How could a portal demo be done properly?
If you ask me, Valve would have to make it isolated, and separate from the main game, like, a demo-only level. But I can't see Valve doing that in this day and age.
Anything else would give you a gigantic chunk of the game, else it'd have to be, like, 2 minutes long.

Was it just me who thought that Orange Box on 360 was a bit of a bad port. Framerate slowdowns, dodgy online in TF2. Only portal truly worked perfectly. I just felt HL2 was better on PC.
