The Orange Box: The Long Anticipated Thriller Arrives!

This game has more of a cult following than Scientology, it seems. While many fans were anxiously awaiting the release of this game, I have always been a fan of this game. The graphics are amazing, and offer some rapid frame rates at a possible 1080p definition. But do they really offer the 60 FPS that Valve and EA claimed? I think not! The graphical jargon aside, this game is great fun to enjoy and play often. You can entirely customize the controls to dictate your own gaming experience. The main concept: work your way through massive boards which involve plenty of strategy and puzzle solving skills in order to progress.

There are actually several games included in one here, which will make many gamers happy to bust open their wallets. And the in game play is augmented by a phenomenal Xbox Live play that is adorned with all of the classic modes that you have grown to love about this franchise: Sniper, Death match, Spy and plenty of newly added modes that will make you cry for joy! Of course, like many shooters the weapon sets could be more original, but hey, who is counting except for me?

“Even though the single player only takes about 20 hours to beat, the live play on this game is one-of-kind…finally a game that delivers as promised, which is increasingly rare in the world of shooters!"

My Score: 8 out of 10
