Ok, here's a quick recap for those who own a PS3 copy of The Orange Box. It's great, but by word does it annoy. Constant loading in some games or hideous slowdown in others. So, when I rented the game the other week, for the second time to finish it off, I was surprised that a patch was ready download, it was time to test what it did.
This review/article will have a paragraph or more on a certain game and give our verdict on how the patch has helped.
So sit down grab a beer , or your respective drink. Now get ready to read MWgamers Review of the PS3 review of Orange Box :Hows it work after the patch
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.

Sometimes I feel like I'm in bizzaro world.
I didn't have any frame rate problems except for TF2 and the fan boat section. Plus the loading points were the same as my PC version. Only difference was on the PC they took 10 seconds and on the PS3 they took 12 seconds. Maybe I somehow got an uber Orange Box copy that was better than everyone else.
wow, they patched it? gratz to all the people that stood up to them
edit: isn't this patch they're referring to the old one?
YES THAT IS CORRECT, THIS IS THE OLD PATCH.
