Hard to believe it's been that long. That's a lot of expectation. Fortunately Valve knows how to deliver (slowly). Its fun, challenging and funny. TF2 happens to come bundled with a lot of stuff. Portal is the best puzzle game I've played all year. The dialog had me rolling on the floor while the level design kept me scratching my head. The advanced and challenge levels provided great replay value. Beyond that you get the entire Half-Life 2 canon. This is the only FPS that has a story worth a damn. My only complaints are with the setup. I'm a mouse/keyboard FPS player. Playing with a 360 controller is kind of like making me play with my feet. I know what is supposed to happen, but I can't quite convince my body to do it. The control scheme is well designed. None of this awkward, "now lets see,to operate this critical machine that completely blocks progress in the game it was right trigger, right shoulder, click left stick" nonsense. If you don't already play FPS on console, buy the PC version. It's much easier to control. My other complaint is also not an issue on the PC. To play TF2 online you have to have a LIVE Gold membership. Thanks MS, but after spending $600 on the console I'm not interested in paying you $7 per month to use it. I cannot recommend this game enough. However, the PC version is a much better value. Great gameplay that is sure to please both the online gamer and the thinker. Rating: 5 Orange Box is an excellent buy--it fuses together 4 different games. Portal (a thinking game), Team Fortress Classic (an online battle game like Halo 3) and 2 Half-Life games (both shooter games). My favorite game in this bunch has to be Portal, which offers a unique concept that is satisfying to even my wife (and she hates video games). Team Fortress Classic requires a subscription to Xbox Live, but I can vouch that the gameplay, albeit different from Halo 3, is quite good. I highly recommend this game. A bargain at $59.99. Too much fun! Rating: 5 It's great to re-do Half Life 2 and the sequels. Portal was fun and I haven't tried Team Fortress 2--I don't have the time! There's so many hours of gameplay. And you can start any game whenever you want, unlike Far Cry Predator Instincts.
