Nave360: "Have You Played..." is a new weekly segment from the creator of "Do You Remember?", on asking gamers if they have played the game in question. It's similar to "Do You Remember?", but it looks at current generation games, no matter what platform they are on! The segment will ask you at the end if you have played it, plus what your score for the game would be, so this segment gets you involved. If you have not played the game, at the same time, Charlie will give his score on how badly this needs to be played and if it's for you.
Now I did a "Do You Remember? - Half-Life" before, so I felt it was only fair to do the Orange Box seeing's as they both fit. The Orange Box is one phenomenal package, and one that you really need to play, whether it's for one week or one hour.
The Xbox One Backward Compatible versions of Xbox 360 titles Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, The Orange Box, and Portal are now enhanced for Xbox One X, Microsoft announced.
Nothing but great memories with all these games! Playing Left for dead series during the college years with friends was the best.
Love to see titles coming to BC with enhancements. Would love even more to see Half Life 3.
The year is 2007. Console owners tap their fingers in barely contained impatience. For years they have been starved of Valve's delicious, full-bodied courses, forced to watch from the bleachers as Valve mixes a unique blend of kinetic first-person with extraordinary tech. Besides a brief dalliance with the original Xbox and the PlayStation 2 - which produce pale imitations of its best work - Valve has remained faithful to the PC.
And then, in a flash, five of them arrive at once; neatly packaged morsels for a new generation reared on Microsoft's & later Sony's consoles. Five games, all in one orange box. Valve serves the PC too, for it is October 18 - a day of celebration - and everyone should feast.
Valve didn't really "release" 5 of its greatest games in a single day, Half-Life 2 came out 3 years before The Orange Box. In no other context do we talk about a port being the "release" of a game.
The orange box was an excellent release. I don't think Valve will do much beyond online only games now.
Robin Walker discusses the impact of Portal, Team Fortress 2 and more.
Little cheeky to talk about it when you know we're still waiting for Half Life 3...the Orange Box included Episode 2 and is still left unfinished story wise to this day.
At this rate we better get a second Orange Box. Half Life 3, Half Life Remake (Black Mesa Mod), TF3 or L4D3 and the HL spin offs like Blue Shift.
Don't know what valve are going to do with Half Life after Mike Laidlaw posted the short version of Episode 3 in August and changed the names and genders.
I haven't played through the Orange Box since '08.
I'm gonna marathon through it this week!
Today is also my birthday, so feel free to leave me birthday wishes ;D (Want to see how many I can get. I dont usually get this many ;P)
Afterall, I worked hard on this article, and the "Do You Remembers?" :)
By the way, this isnt the end of "Do You Remember?". Im just taking a little break from it, but I really love how you guys love them :)
I played it on the PS3, so no.
Does anybody know where I can buy it new for ps3?
I honestly don't know a single gamer in real life who doesn't have the Orange Box.
