Half Life 2: Orange Box

Am near the end of Episode 2 (on PC) now, and won't spoil it, but imo it's the best episode of HL2 and beats the original hands down! Loving the environments, love the cave sequence, and gotta love the trees looking so real......so, what I'm saying is that I been playing all day and well worthwhile getting in its own right!

time taken so far?
 
Does anybody know if they will update the graphics of the HL2 EP1 parts for the 360, bought the xbox version and it wasn't quite as crisp on the 360 as I thought it would be (realising it's not HD of course;)).

They said they were going to -so you should get all the benefits of the EP2 engine in both HL and EP1- HDR and Dynamic shadows being some of the difference.

However not sure whether they kept to what they said or not - some saying its just a port of the xbox version (on IGN) and others saying it looks beter than the PC version (eurogamer) - so who knows :confused:
 
Looking forward to this looks an amazing package for the price of 1 game.

TF2 sounds like my sort of online FPS (i.e one where I'm not gonna get owned for weeks by people who know everything inside out) I always enjoy playing as a medic in these sort of class based games as you can still be useful even as a noob :)

Portal is getting a lot of love by people who've played it as well.

Then you've got 3 more top draw games!
 
I fear this might be a casualty of the silly number of games coming out in the next few weeks. I've got to sacrifice something, and Orange Box might be it.

Aw mate, I played TF2 on my mates pc who got the beta because of pre-ordering the box and it is an awsome game. One of my fav classes is the medic due to it being so helpful and you get rewarded (score wise) when you heal team members unlike some games were medics don't get acknowledged unless they do something wrong.

FUNS WITH SASHA! (watch meet the HWGuy if you don't understand)

That's the last one in a while, until Mass Effect/Assassins Creed, so it's not too bad.

Watched some videos on Gametrailers of Portal and TF2 on 360 and jeez they look really bad in comparison to PC, TF2 is the worst the colours are way off in the videos I watched, all recent "HD" ones too.
