PreGameLobby - Orange Box Check-in

KEEZY · 10-09-2007, 07:06 AM

Post here when you pick up the Orange Box. I can't decide if I should pick it up or just rent it from a fine online establishment I know of.

Check in!

is the game that good? Doesn't the orange box consist of every game of the series? I dont know if I want to buy any more games for awhile. I've never had a game I <3 like Halo 3. Its weird...lol

Picking it up tomorrow from Gamestop (if you preordered it, you get $5 off). Click the pic if you don't know nothing about the orange box.

Justintiime · 10-09-2007, 07:42 AM

wow, thats a lot of orange. Good for you guys I guess, since you seem to have a thing for that color.

Justintiime · 10-09-2007, 07:54 AM

the game looks OK, but it looks a little too cartoonish for me. I'll wait for some reviews I guess.

You can start with the reviews for Half-Life 2 if you want, here. And then hit the rest up. It looks like Episodes 1 & 2 have their own reviews on MetaCritic as well.

Once the Orange Box is out, you'll be able to find full reviews of the entire package here.

Team Fortress 2 looks badass. Already did the Half-Life 2 shit. Sell me TF2 for $20 and I'm there.

Yeah, but you didn't do 99 achievements. Come on, you broke the 10K. Now shoot for the 20K!

I ordered it from Jellyfish last night should have it by Friday hopefully.

KEEZY · 10-09-2007, 08:27 AM

Crap... tomorrow? I figured that was how they were rolling. Who drops on a Wednesday, seriously?

I wonder if I can still get $5 off if I preorder it today.

Crippler · 10-09-2007, 08:28 AM

I'd rather pick-up PGR4 or Mass Effect actually. Too many games this fall, so I have to choose wisely. Can't get them all.

I preordered it last night and still got that price, so yeah, I think you can, as long as they have enough coming in tomorrow. I went to a Newark Gamestop and they were like "we're only getting in two because no one comes in here, so you should go to a better store."

Step 1: Cut a hole in Orange box.

I'm actually required, by law, to pick this up. Everything that comes with it is well worth the $55 bones. I was really looking forward to rushing home to play this tonight. Oh well, I feel like there is another game I can play tonight too...

Sweet news about the price. Maybe they'll get a shipment tonight if UPS is feeling a little squirrelly. I know I am.

Wondermonkey · 10-09-2007, 08:51 AM

Yeah, I think I can find something else to play, and probably won't even get to this until until the weekend.

I'm still excited for it, but would be more excited if Halo 3 weren't already out.

KEEZY · 10-09-2007, 09:53 AM

HALO That's what it was!

I love the sense of environment HL2 gives you when you first get to the city. I can't wait to experience it in a HT environment. My PC just didn't cut it.

BMC · 10-09-2007, 12:45 PM

I'll be picking up my preorder tomorrow noche. I'm looking forward to playing this since I didn't play it on the pc.
