Game Description: Games included in The Orange Box compilation: The original Half-Life 2
- The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon
Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to
the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. Freeman is
thrust into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he
unleashed back at Black Mesa. And a lot of people - people he cares
about - are counting on him. Half-Life 2: Episode One - The
player reprises his role of Dr. Freeman, who must immediately face the
repercussions of his actions in City 17 and the Citadel. Freeman
reconnects with Alyx Vance and her robot, Dog, as they continue their
support of the resistance's battle against the Combine forces. Half-Life 2: Episode Two
-- the second installment in Valve's episodic trilogy advances the
award-winning story, leading the player to new locations outside of
City 17. Portal - a pioneering type of single player action
game that rewrites the rules for how players approach and manipulate
their environment – much like how Half-Life 2's Gravity Gun reinvented
the way gamers interact with objects in the game. Team Fortress 2
- an all-new version of the legendary title that spawned team based
multiplayer action games. The game's daring new art style features the
most advanced graphics of any Source-based game released to date.
