The Orange Box is fantastic. If you haven't got it where have been, Get it now it's brilliant.

I have this game and it is absolutly brilliant the graphics are good the story and plot are good.
All in all a great game i would advise getting it.

You are totally right, and have you also noticed how the non playable characters are so cool and have such cool weapons/powers it is just so unfair,and that while the side character runs off and massacres enemys you are stuck behid solving a puzzle that would have a super computer baffeled. Just for once i want to be the guy saying get this door open while i kill all the enemys.
