The Orange Box (PlayStation 3) review

By Jason Ocampo

The Orange Box is one of the greatest values in gaming history, because it's jam-packed with a variety of world-class content.

Frame rate and loading issues aside, the content in The Orange Box for the PS3 is as good as the content in the superb Xbox 360 version. This is definitely a must-have game for the platform that will provide countless hours of single- and multiplayer ...

The Orange Box (Xbox 360) review

By Jeff Gerstmann

Between Half-Life 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2, you're bound to find something you'll absolutely love in The Orange Box.

But that's beside the point. You don't need burritos, sealed dealer cases of baseball cards, or fully integrated fitness systems thrown in at no additional charge to make The Orange Box a great deal. It's practically guaranteed that if you enjoy video ...

Half-Life 2: Aftermath (PC)

By Jason Ocampo

Episode One is even better than Half-Life 2. The only problem is that it's over before you know it.

Few companies tease its customers as well as Valve. 1998's Half-Life ended on an intriguing note, with series hero Gordon Freeman basically being "recruited" by the mysterious G-Man to work for him as a dimension-hopping commando. But fans were really ...

Half-Life 2: Episode One is the first in a new trilogy of episodes that are scheduled to be released over the course of the next year. (You don't need to own Half-Life 2 to play Episode One, as it's a stand-alone product, though it would...

Half-Life 2 (Xbox)

By Jason Ocampo

Half-Life 2 faithfully captures the excellent single-player gameplay found in last year's hit PC game, but it also suffers from an erratic frame rate and there's no multiplayer.

So, when you get down to it, Half-Life 2 for the Xbox is basically just the acclaimed single-player campaign for Half-Life 2. In many ways, this big-budget sequel does what it sets out to do: Half-Life 2 is a technically amazing, sharply honed...

Half-Life 2 (PC)

By Jason Ocampo

Half-Life 2 is a very impressive and engaging shooter, and a faithful follow-up to one of the greatest PC games of all time.

And, in many ways, this big-budget sequel does what it sets out to do: Half-Life 2 is a technically amazing, sharply honed first-person shooter that pulls all the tricks that made Half-Life such a beloved experience. In Half-Life 2, you once again...

Half-Life 2: Episode One PC

The next chapter in one of the best shooters ever is here, but does it, can it, live up to the hype?

  Amazing, engaging characterisation which make for truly emotional scenes  Gameplay is still as brilliant as the original game, with pacing again spot-on  More of the tense, cliff-hanging plot from Half-Life 2  Improved animation system and HDR ...

  Erm we're struggling here, Episode Two isn't released until Christmas?

It's not Half-Life 3, but it is the next four to six amazing hours of Half-Life 2. The gameplay and set-pieces are just as amazing as in the original game, with some amongst the best gaming moments we've ever had.

Half-Life 2: Episode One review

By Elite Bastards staff

It seems like an eternity since most of us completed Half-Life 2, leaving us waiting veraciously for more.  What happened to Gordon and Alyx?  Just who is the G-Man and what is he up to?  So many answered questions, leaving us all hanging, expecting ...
