I finally picked up The Orange Box last week. It was mainly for Team Fortress 2, a team-based multiplayer FPS. I decided to snap it up after reading a lot of positive reviews and asking for friends' recommendations.
It's a fun and awesome game with nine classes to learn and play as. Its cel-shaded graphics with memorable, cartoony characters make it stand out from most other FPS games, though in essence, it is still a serious shooter. In any case, I think its comedic theme is what makes the game extremely enjoyable for me.
The game is fast-paced and pretty intense.; it kinda reminds me of how I used to play Counterstrike in LAN shops. There are even local servers (by Starhub...) so the game runs smoothly with like 20+ ping. I am pretty much addicted to the game. I hope it will have more content soon. As of now, there are only six official maps to play which is frankly quite pathetic.
There is a funny Saving Private Ryan parody comprising of movie footage re-recorded with TF2 music, sound effects and voice samples. I exploded laughing when I watched it. It really made my day.
