After spending quite a bit of time with The Orange Box, I can say this deal is definitely money well spent. The cost here is well justified by the sheer number of great games in the deal, 3 of which are completely new products. Valve has done a great job giving gamers a reason to keep using the Half Life 2 engine, even if it is a bit dated now. They manage to keep the fun and replayability high on these new titles, and there's a good bite to the multiplayer as well. Any fan of FPS games should check this deal out, and probably get sucked into Portal like all the rest of us.
