I’ve been playing the hell out of the Orange Box lately and a friend asked me if it was worth a purchase. I told him that The Orange Box is the only game that is actually worth 60 dollars.
If you are not familiar with The Orange Box let me fill you in: It’s a game from Valve Software that has been out for a couple weeks now, but it’s not just one game, it’s five games all sold as a package. It includes Half Life 2, plus it’s two sequel episodes, as well as Portal and Team Fortress 2. Any one of these games stands on it’s own just fine, but to package them all together for $60 is one of the best deals in video game history. |

personally demonstrated for us by the game’s designer Will Wright. What we saw was possibly one of the most innovative games ever. The game revolves around evolution; you start with a microscopic view of
your tiny creature and evolve it constantly until you have a full blown race with cities and interstellar space travel capability.

Kameo, the review
by adam | March 23, 2006 in Console Games | Comments Off
Kameo is one of the best looking games I’ve ever played, and luckily, the game play isn’t too shabby either.
Rare had been developing this game since it was originally slated for Nintendo’s little purple box, but it finally ended up as a launch title for Microsoft’s powerful and stylish space heater. It may look like a cute little platformer for the kids, but don’t be fooled by the cartoony art style, it’s not a plamformer and it’s not for the young ones. So what the hell is it? Why don’t you read my review and find out?
