The Orange Box for PS3 Game Review      

December 15th, 2007

This game is manufactured by one of the best video game making companies – Electronic Arts. It is available at a price of $57.99 for the PS3 version and $ 49.99 for the Xbox 360 version. This price is for the Orange Box pack of 5 games.

The five games in this pack are Portal, Team Fortress 2, Half Life 2, Half Life 2: Episode 1 and Half Life 2:Episode 2. Of these 5 games Half Life 2 and Episode 1 are games that have been released earlier and have been added to this compilation. Portal, Team Fortress 2 and Episode 2 represent completely new content, that is available for the first time with The Orange Box.

This game is available as a PS3 version as well as a version for the Xbox. Both versions are identical. This game compilation is fresh and not boring. I would rank the three Half Life 2 games as among the best shooter games out there. In addition Portal gently teases the mind with its humorous puzzles in a brilliantly entertaining way.

Now the issues with these games. Some problems are presented in the frame rate for the PS3. It is annoying. Aside from this there are no major technical issues on this pack.

So would I recommend this game pack. Yes. Highly. 5 great games for the price of one represents great value and this is what holiday shoppers are looking for. Whether you are buying this game for yourself or as a gift, it is highly recommended.
