Cheap bastard alert: There's a whole shit-ton of content crammed onto this tiny little disc; and all of it—well, most of it—is first-rate stuff. You've got the masterful Half-Life 2, in its entirety. Then you've got the two additional episodes to Half-Life 2 (the dully named Episode One and Episode Two). Then you've got Portal, a nifty first-person-shooter puzzle game. Finally, you've got Team Fortress 2, a class-based multiplayer game. While Team Fortress 2 doesn't trump Halo 3's near-perfect multiplayer, and Portal is more annoying than anything else, The Orange Box should keep your digits busy for years—yes, years—to come.
