Orange Box
I sort of stopped buying video games a while back; mostly I just rent them now. They’re expensive and when I get a new one I tend to get addicted and do nothing but sit in front of the Xbox until it’s beaten.
However, I am going to buy the Orange Box when it comes out, and if you have a 360, I suggest you do to. Not just because it’s 5 full games in one box, not just because Half Life 2 rocks the hizzy, not just because Portal looks so incredibly innovative that I might be able to get Kathryn to play it, but because the Orange Box also includes Team Fortress 2, and I think we can have some wicked awesome long-distance game nights with this one. I call dibs on the engineer… or the sniper… or the spy… no, probably the engineer.
When Halo 3 comes out, I’m probably not going to buy it, but I’ve been looking forward to the Orange Box for months. On October 9th, I’ll be spending my lunch hour at the store if you know what I mean. Games like Halo are great, but I prefer my multiplayers where everybody on the team can have a specific job and work together.
