Finally got the Orange Box. Portal is freaking awesome. Exactly the kind of game I wish there was more of. Hope they come out with a stand alone version.

Played Half Life 2 again last night. Forgot how fun and well-made that is.

i've seen some gameplay of "portal" and it looks like a mind fudge, don't know if could handle it...and i believe there is a stand alone version on the xbox live arcade

i believe it was created by Valve, which also does left 4 dead...good company...i've heard team fortress 2 is fun too

I think the current one on Live is the same thing I have. I just meant a longer version.

Hmm. Well. Still not enough to justify buying it separately. I turned in two games and got the OB for $4. Not a good time to spend money.

I've never actually bought anything on Live yet either. The whole points thing annoys me.

oh i agree, its definitely a better deal with the OB...and i think its like 1200 MS points, which is more than it should be..

The reviews for Borderlands are good, but the gaming forums are going crazy for it. I might have to pick it up.

Uncharted 2 is excellent. I'm about halfway through.

i've heard borderlands has kinda a crap story, but the FPS/RPG co-op is awesome

Is it shallow of me to be bothered by the animation look?


Uncharted is making me wish I had a PS3.
