The Orange Box

Anyone playing it?  I just got it, looking for some Team Fortress 2 practice before throwing myself to the hardcore gamers.

I was thinking about getting it for Xbox 360. What do you think of it so far?

Glad you guys made a post about video games because I was just going to! I am seeing online that the xbox 360 is only $280 these days and I am wondering how good of a deal that is/is it worth it? I guess this tripped down version (the Arcade version or something) lacks a hard drive, but I not sure I would really utilize a hard drive. I doubt I would want to do online play even. What are your thoughts?

Also, Guitar Hero coming out the Wii soon. I might have to dip into the old savings account a few times in the next month or so.

you are going to need some kind of memory storage, the $400 version ends up being cheaper after you get all the accessories

Adam when does Guitar Hero come out on wii? I just got a chub when I read that!!

Team Fortress 2 is pretty badass, check out this video to get an idea of the graphical style and how funny the game is. Portal is crazy, never really seen a game like it, and it's also funny as hell. Other than that, I'm sure you already know about Half Life 2 and it's sequels. 5 games, 50 bucks, how can you go wrong?

PS - I have the PC version

haha, that trailer was pretty badass.

BTW...we play Halo3 every night for about 4 hours...so yeah...get a 360 Adam.

The Arcade version xbox has like 256MB card storage. Is ti really necessary to have a 20GB hard drive? What do you even use it for?

Adam said...

Oh and Walmart has Guitar Hero shipping 10/28... Nick, don't mess your pants at work.

Excellent, well we do not have Walmarts in NYC but I am sure other stores have around the same dates. Thank you sir.

I think you can order and have Walmart delivered to NYC. You all make me sick that you have 4 hours to play games at night. I wish I had four hours of anything at this point. 12 days and the election is over and just in time for the greatest football game every other year, Colgate v Georgetown in DC.

I blew thru about half my storage space already. You may be ok with the memory card if you are only planning on playing a few games, wireless controllers are nice. I looked at the deal and it will probably fine for someone who only want to play occasionally.
