The Valve team recently confirmed (by accident) that a second Portal game is in the works (and Lombardi has since officially stated to CVG that "more Portal is coming"), so combined with the Counter-Strike sequel and Half-Life 2: Episode Three, could we be looking at the early stages of what might be an Orange Box Two?
From Counter Strike to Rainbow Six, GameSpew has rounded up eight of the best tactical shooters you can play right now on PC and console.
Jack writes: "Yet again browsing the latest offers in the Steam Spring Sale has led us to track down the very best. In terms of price to quality, we don’t think that it gets much better than this. Portal 2 is now less than a dollar, and if you haven’t got it already, now is the time to pick it up."
Portal deserves to be one of steams highest rated games... It's almost tetris levels of perfect game design.
Gotta love Steam. Just got Portal 2 for .97 cents CAD. Should have been $1.29, selected the bundle with Portal 1 and 2, which gets a 25% discount, already have Portal 1, so it removes the cost of that, and still applies the full 25% bundle discount to Portal 2. 90% + 25% discount.
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
New Counter Strike?!?!?!? aarrrrggghhh!! Best competitive FPS series going! Cant wait.
console fans disagree at will....
Im a console fan but i have to put my hands up and say that HL2 is the best FPS ever made and CounterStrike Source is the best multiplayer FPS ever made, it was perfect.
I hope there is another Orange Box, i was disappointed that they didnt put a version of CS in the first one.
That the next counter-strike would be its own seperate game and not apart of another box deal...
I agree on Counter Strike but i wasn't a big fan of HL. I liked the first Half-life but wasn't struck on HL2. Maybe its because i didn't play HL2 and the expansions until recently but they didn't really do it for me.
I say add "Half-Life", "Half-Life: Opposing Force" and "Half-Life: Blue Shift" in the mix also. And the Orange Box 2 will be GREAT!!!
