Orange Box is flawless on the 360. I think most of the issues with the PS3 version of the Orange Box were for the half life games, not TF2 or Portal.

Yeah I've played the orange box on my roommates 360 before i bought my ps3 and it was great, no problems whatsoever. I still have yet to see if the orange box on ps3 is really as bad as people say, I can never find a copy in stores. I'd like to pick it up though because my computer can't handle half-life 2 and I really want to play it again and show my brother.

27.99 at Gamestop (used): http://www.gamestop.com/ps3/games/half-life-2-orange-box/60798

A bit steep since I've seen it for 15-20 before...

NOTE: it's not available, but you can search for it in a nearby store...

Kaini, I came in here to tell you we just recieved portal 2 at work and I get to pre-rent it so I'm going to be playing it tonight. Suck it

that essentially means that it'll be on thepiratebay tomorrow, lol

Well for now I get to play it before anyone else. Come on at least let me have a little bit of pride here.

aww yeah beat my high score on tetris ds. 293,649.

640,267.

day not wasted.

Ok first impressions on Portal 2: Holy shit this is so much better than Portal 1. I played the co-op campaign for a few hours with my friend last night and it is more fun than I could ever have imagined. It's so awesome to have to work together to solve puzzles. Wow, just wow, and I've only played it for a grand total of about 3 hours so far. Anyways I'm off to play some more through single player now.

09:00 – Hello again.

09:00 – I’ve been waiting a long time for this.

09:00 – I know it’s arriving later than expected.

09:00 – But I have a message for you:

09:00 – April Fools.

09:01 – I’m joking.

09:01 – Seriously, though:

09:01 – You’ve been surprisingly competent at

09:01 – generating electro-chemical energy to jumpstart the system.

09:01 – But now we need raw computational power

09:02 – to speed up the reboot process.

now there's a bargraph with a game next to each bar. looks like we need to get all the bars to the top.

Yeah we need to buy/play all these games or something. This is amazing.

I'm on it!

it doesn't get any updates. it's still a ton of fun tho and I'm glad we don't have all of that 'hat' shit.

got Dantes Inferno cheap

It would be a lot better if I'd played it before God of War 3 buts its still a cool game with its own merit.

My theory of the "early release" hints and portal 2 is not that portal 2 is going to be released early, but that HL2 episodes 3&4 is going to be secretly bundled with portal 2.

LOL!

I was playing Fallout: New Vegas for a couple months until it got too buggy for me to load any new games. That brought all my video-gaming to a halt.

Played through Crysis again and I enjoyed throwing dudes through sheds, so I bought 2. Played it for half an hour and it gave me a headache, so I found a config and turned the motion blur off which helped with that. Graphically I think its better than the first one, the nice textures of the 1 just involved a lot of green and white, more work has gone into the art of the second. But whats really pissing me off is the rubbish physics. For me, one of the best parts of the first one was squatting in a wooden house while enemies dismantiled it round you. In the second one nothing seems to damage, like hiding behind plastic crates that are indestructable while cars are just blowing up round them.

Its quite a good game, but in a Disney console quite good sort of way. It stole from COD and Gears of War, when it should have been stealing from its predecessors. The AI is fucking rubbish, but at least im not floating round a giant Alien mountain.

In that case, I'll give it a look. Can you still throw Koreans about? This is what Crysis was all about for me. Bowling panicked Korean soldiers into shacks.

started playing animal crossing (gc) again recently. holy nostalgia. i could spend days chilling in that little town of mine.

Sadly no maximum strength. The suit does most things instantly this time like jumping and sprinting without activating them, with the only real options being cloak and armour. If you forget about the game the first one could have been, 2 is worth a play.

I doubt there are any Koreans in Crysis 2
