Hellgate: London. The "orange box" is just a greatest hits collection of all things halflife. Hl2 is just an average FPS shooter, nothing bad about it, but certainly nothing special either. With Hellgate, you get a brand new game that looks kind of cool.

 

 

Ive just got Word in Conflict(the best RTS ever in the history of mankind) and next it'll be Gears of War PC. Halo3 was a disapointment, it will only please halofans or people who have never played other FPS games

Good thing you'll be picking up the superior version of what was only a mediocre game when it used to be console-exclusive!

Just a "greatest hit collection"? You say it like it's some old bargain bin package. You do know the Orange Box offers three brand new products, right?

I always felt Hellgate looks kinda outdated. They should have released that game 3 years ago... But hey, perhaps the game is

I don't know. I find the Half-Lifes to be pretty overrated, but if the Orange box contains Team Fortress 2, HL2: Episode 1 & 2 with graphical enhancements for the price of 49

Doesn't being a 'greatest hit' require that all products contained have actually been released in the past?

 

It might be semantics, but so is your face.

I think, considering what I know of Sand's tastes, he'd be unhappy with the Half-Life package. It's still very much a standard FPS. Hellgate: London has more depth that I think might appeal to you.

Sand, if you need to practice twitch, I recommend, strongly, something like Serious Sam.

 

It's a lot of fun and pure twitch action.

 

 

But you need to turn off some part of your brain first... I don't... I... don't... remember which... one...

I think his hand reactions is pretty quick if you ask me. :(

Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

Technically I said more depth that might appeal to you. Every game has some sort of depth. For Hellgate the dpeth lies in the inventory system, and for Half0Life 2 it's probably the physics engine. In Solitaire it's the different card faces you can choose. I prefer the castles.

Not necesaarily...sometimes a greatest hits album will contain new material. The Spice Girls, for instance, are putting some new songs on their greatest hits album. Isn't that great?
