Yeah on the pc, but I don't think the story is different for the xbox360?
I really enjoyed this game!

ps. I build my own pc's It runs perfectly on my comp on high detail

 

[Blitz]

sound good mate making me green with envy and your right from what i have heard it is the same as the pc version with a few little fixes that they did not get around to on the pc version but nothing that will change the game in general, did you look at the web site ? check out portal and tell me what you think ? seem strange but in a good way a new idea in games which is rare !

 

[allan]

Yeah Portal is a great way to further use the gravity gun. The aspect of putting it in a puzzle game makes me curious in how they did it. The gravity gun in HL2 was more like a gimmick, but has more potential.

I mostly used the grav gun to throw things at zombies when i was out of bullets

 

[Blitz]

i belive that it is also good to grab things to use as cover when people shoot at you, one question dose half-life two come with any on line play ? on the pc other than team fortress 2

I'm definately looking foward to getting this for the pc once I get some extra cash. I'm a big fan of the half life series.

Pretty much owns, tf2 is quite fun.

well mate you wait is over half-life 2 came out for the pc a long while back maybe even a year or two ago but the pack that i am on about is for the xbox 360, but i will check if the same pack is being relased for the pc too which i can't see it not happening

The Orange box is already out for the pc as well. I just don't have the extra money to get it at the moment, but hopefully I will soon.

that cool did not know that bud is with half-life 2 episode 2 as well and portal the whole thing ? but my pc is not good enough and i have no plans for an upgrade just yet like you i am a bit straped on the cash front so will get it on the xbox 360 in a few more day can't wait !!

Yea, it's the same as whats on the 360 with portal and team fortress 2 included.

 

[dave_rhino]

I can't believe they fit 5 games on 1 disc!

Half-life 2, best game ever. Ep1 and Ep2 are also fantastic.

Portal is total brain-boggling genius.

Team fortress 2, meh, it's ok. Probably the lowest point of the disc. Hopefully I'll get into it eventually though.


It's like valve just kicked the halo series directly in the bollocks, and halo is just lying there on the floor crying like a girl...

 

[Blitz]

yeah bud could not have said it better myself, you should of seen the look of surprise on my face when i saw only one disc, was going to go back to the shop and ask where the rest of the games was but tried it first and found that there were all there ? don't know how they did but i like it a lot,

Keep in the with team fortress there will be loads of updates for it soon, map and new player types are on the verge of coming out soon

 

[Jonny82]

I literally cannot stop playing Team Fortress 2. When you're on a team with everyone playing like a Team and using voice properly, it's brilliant.

 

[dave_rhino]

Dammit I wish I liked TF2

Everyone is saying how good it is, I can see how people would like it... But I just can't seem to enjoy it!

Something must be wrong with me.

 

[jessi]

So if you already have half life 2 and have beaten it, is it worth getting the orange box? I love it. Also is half life 2 on 360 yet? I typically know this stuff but after the dissapointment on the port to xbox I gave up. If so, is it as good on 360 as it is on pc?

 

[Jonny82]

The 360 version is great. Perfect port.

And the Orange Box is worth it for Portal and Team Fortress 2 alone.

 

[dave_rhino]

I just finished portal, judging by the ending there is going to be a more "real world" game using the portal gun! That would be amazing.

Portal is one of the most challenging games I've played in a while, it's also hilarious.
