Looking back at my gaming wish list, I see that while I’ve managed to purchase each of them when they launched, finding time to play them all has been another matter. Here’s how well each game has faired in my console:
Archive for The Orange Box
Ugh. I think I’m gonna hurl…
“Bioshock” took me a bit longer to finish because it frightened me. Now “Half-Life 2″ of “The Orange Box” is going to take longer to finish because it makes me ill. It seems to create the same sense of motion sickness I previously experience in “Marathon: Durandal.”
The title makes more sense if you’ve played “Portal.”
In a previous post, I mentioned how there were a lot of great games coming out this Fall for the Xbox 360. Something has helped me with my purchasing issue - my birthday. Thank goodness for gift cards.
Once home, I popped in “The Orange Box” and the first thing I played was not “Half Life 2.” Nor “Team Fortress 2.” It was “Portal.” This game is so much fun!
OMG. How am I going to make it through this holiday season? Look at these release dates:
- “The Orange Box” - out now
- “The Simpsons Game” - Oct. 30
- “Call of Duty 4″ - Nov. 5
- “Assassin’s Creed” - Nov. 13
- “Mass Effect” - Nov. 20
- “Rock Band” - Nov. 20
Must. Own. All of them. Hopefully Sean Preston and Jayden James Spears-Federline need some play dates, because I don’t think I can take care of my kids until February ‘08.
