I am almost feeling like the “Bring Back the 80s” episodes we all don’t admit to watching on VH1. I played Half-Life on PC. I loved Half-Life on PC. I somehow skipped over Half-Life 2 and Team Fortress but I never forgot how much I enjoyed Half-Life. Like an almost popular comedian who vents his frustrations at failure by jabbing celebrities of Christmas past, I am having a ball kicking my nostalgia with Half-Life 2: Orange Box Edition for Xbox 360.
Let me start by saying that this game is beautiful. Even games as recent as Halo 3 can’t touch this game for quality and detail of textures. The environments are incredibly detailed and even the other living inhabitants of it’s fantasy world are eerily detailed.
The action is brisk and un-ending. I have about 3 hours of game time in it and I see no signs of that letting up.
If you have an Xbox 360 and are looking for a game to play, get off your ass and pick this one up. There are very few titles that are more fun to play and this beautiful to look at.

Epic game, played it on the PC years back and recently bought The Orange Box (PrePlayed) just to get hold of Portal. The only problem I have with it is that I know how it ends!
