    To be honest I bought it for Team Fortress 2 alone. Such a solid online multiplayer FPS and Valve have been doing a fantastic job supporting this game with new maps, weapons and unlockables. To this day (I picked it up on the Australian street release date, sometime last October) I still haven't touched anything from Orange Box besides Team Fortress 2. I really should play Half-Life 2's and Portal ...
    I bought a legit copy of Orange Box through Ebay for $45 inc Shipping. I now refuse to pay the obscene local new release game prices when other countries such as the US can get them for half that amount.

    You need to play Portal, I am in love with that game and my only disappointment was that it wasn't longer. Its the most innovative game in a decade and its simple but involving story is superb. Its one of those atmosphere games that absorves you in the story and makes you feel as if you are 'there' and touches the right notes like a good movie. I haven't experienced that feeling in a game since the 90s.

    I am still sad about my companion cube and was devastated when they were sold out and Ebay prices are too crazy.

    i highly recommend getting the valve complete pack off steam, $100 for everything they've put out.. loved portal, but as others have found its quite short... just finished half life 2, currently playing hl2: episode 1.. im not really a fan of online games like dota and wow etc, just because i dont like to spend so much time playing... i rather play deathmatch games like ut2004 or of course, cs, where you can play for 30 mins then leave..

    also total annihilation is still a great rts even if it is over 10 years old..

    Mass Effect
    The Witcher
    "Warhammer dark crusade.

    But look for the pack with the three of them:

    WH Dawn of war
    WH Dawn of war winter assult
    WH dawn of war dark crusade."

    For a long time, I was obsessed with Age of Mythology & those types of games until after a while, cheats/codes take away the slow-build factor...

    I have high hopes for Operation Flashpoint. trailer

    Loking forward to STALKER Clear Sky too.

    I kinda enjoyed Warhammer DoW but didn't really get into it.

    UT2004 was the last game I was really into, and UT2003 before it. UT3...
    Which brings us to where we are today...

    I enjoyed the first game the most due to the better single player campaign and story telling. Winter Assault was also good.

    I like Dark Crusade but I am disappointed that it has a rather poor Single player campaign which doesn't really have a story. Its basically multiplayer but with a computer opponent.

    It looks like Soulstorm will follow the same type of Single Player campaign as Dark Crusade and as a result I will not be buying it.

    Yea, soulstorm is like that. It has a few different things though, you fight across 4 planets, and the sisters of battle get the forward base, the space marines are left with deep strike instead. But it's great for the capture and hold missions. Plus everyone gets flying units. Their only advantage is that they can fly over terrain, but yea, anything can shoot them down easily.

    I also found that the imperial guard was really really out of control in soulstorm. There was a mission there that I had no option but to cheat with. It was as though the computer was given the ability of 0 second builds and infinity units. It was that bad that even giving myself unlimited units and instant builds, they were still pushing me back. The only way I won was using invulnerability. I don't know if that was a glitch though, as there was another mission against them and they pushed me back, but when I reloaded and tried the same one again, they wern't as agressive for some reason. But it was only against the imperial guard that that happened. The mission to take their HQ was fine though.

    And yes, I had the pleasure of destroying the eldar and the dark eldar.

    EDIT: Oh yea guys, as I said before, I only multiplay diablo2 over the net.

    Now D3 is a game I can't wait for.
