you will love the game...most of the people who talk smack about it haven't even tried it.

for the price, this game is worth it on all counts.

TF2 is PC all the way

Portal is good on the PS3

HL2 is/was a poor port

HL2 is PC

The Orange Box is an awesome collection for PS3. There's only a couple places with frame drops, and they're pretty much isolated to HL2 Episode 1. From what I noticed, the rest of the games are fine.

IMHO this is a must buy collection for PS3 owners who like first person shooters. I've been a huge fan of the Half Life series for years.

I loved the Half Life series on The Orange Box! This was my first experience with the game and it was awesome. Some framerate drops like people say but I found more drops in the original FEAR on PS3. Half Life runs like a charm compared to FEAR.

Can't beat the price on the collection either. $15 new in some places!!
Here's hoping the next episode or better yet Half Life 3 is released on PS3 in the future!

also, they have since released a patch that clears up most of the framerate issues and loading times in Portal....most people tend to omit this little bit of information when they are lambasting it.
