From the moment it was officially announced last year, gamers have referred to Valve Software's The Orange Box as the biggest bargain in the history of video games. While that statement is debatable (after all, there have been some excellent compilations over the years), there's no denying that this is one of 2007's must-have releases, as well as one of the best Xbox 360 games to date.

The Xbox One Backward Compatible versions of Xbox 360 titles Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, The Orange Box, and Portal are now enhanced for Xbox One X, Microsoft announced.
Nothing but great memories with all these games! Playing Left for dead series during the college years with friends was the best.
The year is 2007. Console owners tap their fingers in barely contained impatience. For years they have been starved of Valve's delicious, full-bodied courses, forced to watch from the bleachers as Valve mixes a unique blend of kinetic first-person with extraordinary tech. Besides a brief dalliance with the original Xbox and the PlayStation 2 - which produce pale imitations of its best work - Valve has remained faithful to the PC.
And then, in a flash, five of them arrive at once; neatly packaged morsels for a new generation reared on Microsoft's & later Sony's consoles. Five games, all in one orange box. Valve serves the PC too, for it is October 18 - a day of celebration - and everyone should feast.
Valve didn't really "release" 5 of its greatest games in a single day, Half-Life 2 came out 3 years before The Orange Box. In no other context do we talk about a port being the "release" of a game.
The orange box was an excellent release. I don't think Valve will do much beyond online only games now.

Little cheeky to talk about it when you know we're still waiting for Half Life 3...the Orange Box included Episode 2 and is still left unfinished story wise to this day.
At this rate we better get a second Orange Box. Half Life 3, Half Life Remake (Black Mesa Mod), TF3 or L4D3 and the HL spin offs like Blue Shift.

To Anego.
Yes. Does each game come on a separate disc or are they all on the same disc?
Most compilations I've had on the PC come on multiple discs.
it all comes on 1 disc
So you're saying there's enough space on a DVD9 for Half-Life 2, Episode 1 and 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2?
Hmmm. That's a lot of content for the "little baby DVD9".
