 Steam Sucks to no end, 2008-07-03
I bought this game used on Amazon. Steam will not let me play it because it says it is registered to someone else. I tried all the recomended help settings with no answers to any of my e-mails. Thank The Lord for the nice woman who I bought it from giving me my money back plus shipping.
I have bought my last game involving steam lic.

 Perhaps the best deal you will ever see..., 2008-06-30
5 games for half the cost of 1. HL2 is incredible for those who haven't played it - the best linear FPS I have ever played. Episode 1 and 2 pick up exactly where you leave off in both action and storyline. Portal is a mind-blowing puzzle game which toys with your tendencies and forces you to "think in portals". Add to that TF2 and you have an incredible deal. Buy it.

Perfect., 2008-06-29
The Orange Box is the ultimate gamer's dream. While a couple of the games included with the package are not very long, namely Episode One and Portal, you will still be provided with endless hours of fun with the included Team Fortress 2. The engine that the games run on, Source, is very versatile and allows you to lower the graphics enough to play it full-speed if your computer is not great. I was surprised at how great the graphics STILL looked even after I lowered everything to the minimum for my rather-old computer.

Great Collection To Those New to Half Life 2, 2008-06-29
The Orange Box and its games have gotten over a hundred rewards, and for good reason. Considering that the collection is now on Amazon for $30, I highly recommend that you get this collection if
A) You're a fan of FPS gameplay
B) You don't already have the games
Half Life 2, by and large, is a great game. The story is great, the action intense, and it definitely has plenty of great moments. If you're skeptical, I suggest downloading the Half Life 2 demo and trying the game out.
Graphically, there's not much to complain about. It is not Crysis, but considering the age of the game, I wouldn't be surprised. It runs smoothly on my system (Athlon 64 3700, 2 gigs DDR 400 ram, Geforce 6800 GT 256 mb videocard).
Gameplay wise, as mentioned before, the game has plenty of good moments, though I don't see it as much of a breakthrough to me. The game gets better and more immersible in the included expansion packs however.
Portal is a very unique puzzle solving game. It is also very challenging (at least to me) and can thus be very frustrating. However, it is a rewarding game and I love the humor in it.
Team Fortress 2, unlike other online FPS games, is truly team based. It is the kind of game in which sides win or lose not because of a single maverick, but because of how well coordinated a team is. The classes are remarkably balanced and set in such a way that weaknesses and strengths are always complemented with other classes (hence making the game more team oriented).
Overall, the collection is definitely good and definitely worth the money. Half Life 2 is a great game, as is Portal and TF 2. I thought Steam was a bit confusing at first, but I don't find it particularly annoying and I do find it useful for communication and organization. However, because you need to have access to Steam to play the games,
INTERNET ACCESS IS ALWAYS REQUIRED TO PLAY THE GAMES, EVEN IF THEY'RE SINGLE PLAYER GAMES
If you do not have internet, DO NOT GET THIS COLLECTION.
If you don't have the games already listed, then I highly suggest you get the collection. I don't think you'll regret it.
