You’ll split up much more frequently, so, for example, you’ll find yourself working your way through antlion nests and crushing antlion grubs all by your lonesome. The biggest difference here is that Alyx doesn’t directly accompany you through the entire game. You’ve escaped with information that the Combine very much wants to get back from you, so the chase is on again.įortunately, you’ll do much more than just run in Episode Two. You’ve escaped from City 17, which now looks more like a smoking crater in the ground with a huge, swirling portal floating over it. It picks up right where Episode One leaves off, with Alyx helping Gordon out of the rubble of a train crash. Episode Two is the continuation of the Half-Life 2 story. On the Xbox 360, the game boots up to a menu where you can easily select any of the five games, and quitting out of a game brings you back to the selection menu. On the PC, you’ll launch each game separately. You’ll also get 2004’s Half-Life ’s Half-Life 2: Episode One, which is handy if you aren’t up to speed with what Gordon Freeman’s been doing over the past few years. They’re all based on the same graphics engine, but they’re all incredibly different games, which ensures that there’s something for everyone. With your purchase of The Orange Box, you’ll get Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Team Fortress 2, and Portal. That’s partially because the name “The Orange Box” sounds more like some kind of citrus-scented bathroom cleanser than a video game, and partially because this five-games-in-one package is the kind of crazy deal that almost forces you to shout “Now how much would you pay?” With three amazing new games and two classics all in one package, it’s impossible to go wrong with The Orange Box. It’s hard to talk about what Valve’s The Orange Box offers without immediately falling into an impression of some sort of late-night pitchman for fantasy knives and alternative cleaning products.
