The Orange Box is basically one amazing deal...5 games for 60 bucks (360 version is $60, PC is $50).
What surprised me was how much production value they put into Portal. The voice acting was phenomenal and the ending was the best ending to a game I have ever seen. It was also neat to see how Half-Life 2 and Portal are related.
Episode 2 was also very good and it explained a lot about the story. I found parts of the game to be overly difficult compared to the PC version..I think this was due to the lack of accuracy that the controller has. I was missing the mouse and keyboard set up but I pushed my way though and I eventually got used to it.
One thing I absolutely hated was how the vehicle handled. Toward the end of the game it was really frustrating.
Team Fortress 2 is just simply an awesome game with a really cool visual style. Only problem I have, which is probably unique to the 360 version, is the lag. Since games are not dedicated servers they lag quite a bit. That's not to say it always lags but more often than not it feels like someone who is on DSL is hosting.

PORTAL IS AMAZING
The best game I've EVER played.
So close to 100% completion.
And the first time through just makes you laugh.
As far as TF2, well it's pretty damn good. There are a couple balance issues, in my opinion, but I expect it to be patched, of course

Orange Box isn't that demanding, actually. It runs fine on my computer, which I bought for $200 about three years ago.

I Think that the orange box is one of the best value for money games ever, all 5 games rock out loud! the HL2 series is impresive as ever, and Episode 2 is awsome, TF2 is a great online game, but quite laggy over XBLive. the iceing on the 'Cake' (lol @ me) is Portal, short but very, VERY sweet! all it needs now is some expansion packs and its perfect
Zomg! Orange Box is probably the biggest package release ever. I am glad they included so many games with it. If you buy the package you are saving a lot of money on individual games like HL2 through Episode two, TF2, and Portal. They are all excellent games. I still play TFC even though it as almost a decade old.
