A Heads Up About A Cool Game For The XBox 360 The Orange Box.
It’s also really available for PC and plays really well on there as well, but I’m talking about the xbox360 translation here.
This is fantastic value as it is 5 games on one disc and buying pre-owned it is reasonably cheap.The orange box features Half-life 2, Half-life 2: Episode One, Half-life 2: Episode Two, Portico and the sequel to the classic Team Fortress, Team Fortress 2.
The games are fun as I am a huge fan of the half-life series and the simple game play but the complex seeming tale lines really captured me.
Being introduced to Portico was extremely fun mainly because of the portico gun that you can control.
I loved Tem Fortress 2 but as I didn’t have xbox live at the time i couldn’t get all the benefits.
Sometime in your lifetime you will have had to have heard of Half-life or Half-life 2, so you will doubtless be able to grasp the concept of the latest game in the series.
Half-life 2: Episode Two picks up where you left off in Half-life 2: Episode One, but if you haven’t played or refined Half-life 2: Episode One then that’s there for you to learn what’s been happening to Gordan Freeman (the main character and who you play as in the half-life series) and Alex Vance (Gordans friends daughter).
In Portico you play as a test subject trying to test newly developed ways to get around and benefit people……. EXCEPT THE ONES WHO ARE DEAD! That last line is part of the portico ending song “Still Alive”. Anyway You must go through some simple and challenging puzzles with the “Portico Gun” which shoots blue and orange portals. The way it works is you jump though the blue portico and Viola you appear out the orange portico or vice versa.
In Team Fortress 2 (or TF2 for small) you choose what class you are out of these 9: Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Heavy Weapons guy (or heavy for small), Egineer, Medic, Sniper and Spy while you battle with other players either over system link or xbox live. you are able to play by yourself but then there isn’t anyone to battle it out against.
My favorite part of HL2: Episode Two is the ambush. What happens is you and Alex Vance are on your way to White Forest, Black Mesa’s brother. The windy road you are driving down is about to pass the White Forest Inn Hotel when suddenly… BOOM!
You hit a break down field and have to take cover in The White Forest Inn to avoid being killed by Hunters (small mechanoids that shoot Flechettes at you) and have to fight your way out.
My Favorite part of HL2: Episode One is when you have to escape city 17 on a train. It goes like this: you and Alex have just refined escorting survivors to trains and about to board your own.
Unfortunately there is a roller door blocking the way. You find the wheel that will open it and your about to run through yourself when wouldn’t you know it there’s a strider there. It then proceeds to blow the wheel up, so you have to run around and up freight containers to find a way to end it, so you can meet up with Alex and escape city 17.
My favorite part of HL2 is when you get the organic gravity gun which is so powerful i t can pick up creature enemies and even hold balls of pure plasma. The sheer power from this thing is what makes me like that particular part so much.
My favorite part of portico is when you have to defeat GlADoS, the robot that controls most of the aperture science labrotories because she is about to flood the chamber with deadly nuerotoxins that she claims to be able “to eat this stuff on cereal”.
The creators of these 5 brilliant games is valve.
In synopsis the XBox 360 The Orange Box Is A really cool game that I suggest that you play todau.
