Electronic Arts has called the port of Valve's Orange Box onto PS3 a "challenge situation" - and admitted that the release didn't quite live up to the developer's expectations.
The Orange Box - which contained Half-Life 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2, among others - was ported onto PS3 by EA's UK team.
It won good critical acclaim from the press - hitting an 89 per cent average on Metacritic, but some critics bemoaned frame rate issues - and the SKU didn't hit the 95+ heights of the PC and Xbox 360 SKUs.
Indeed, Valve would later call the PS3 port a "stepchild version". The developer told CVG in February that it regretted the release - adding that it didn't put its "best foot forward with the PS3 community".
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
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.

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.
Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.
EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.
No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.
EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
Seems like a strange time for EA to talk about Half-Life. Wonder if there will be a Half-life announcement at E3 or maybe EA is porting portal 2. Interesting times...
i don't care about Orange box Valve are lazy i think
of orange box still a awesome game little bugs didnt freeze on me i just want my episode 3 COME ON VALVE
ooooo yummy:) Gabe Newels comments are very tasty indeed.
I wonder if he knew back then that the console "which was a waste of everyone's time" would go on to sell 35+ million (still climing) and produce the greatest games and graphics the industry has ever seen.
i had this for my xbox b4 it broke and i decided 2 get a ps3. I should really pick this up again at some point episode 2 and portal were epic!!!
