Average Customer Review: 
Summary: Sent a PIRATED COPY
Date: 2008-11-20 - 
Comment: I ordered this game used from GameUniverse and they sent me a pirated copy in Russian without the code for the internet. Do not buy from this company!!
Summary: Bundles... good and pad
Date: 2008-11-19 -
Comment: I mostly purchased this bundle for TF2 and Portal. I find those two games to be entertaining and well done. I find HL2, however, to be quite disturbing. I can handle aliens rushing me -- in the dark even -- but, there are just some disturbing scenes of blood and mangled bodies in creepy towns that proves too much for me.
Summary: Amazing
Date: 2008-11-17 - 
Comment: Not much to say. Team Fortress 2 is a great multiplayer game. Portal and Half Life 2 + episodes are great single player games, portal more for mechanics and half life more for story.
Summary: Excellent game
Date: 2008-11-16 -
Comment: Great set of games to play.
Most of them you can play with friends.
Which is good.
Unless you have no friends.
Then it is not good.
Summary: Most worthwhile 30$ a gamer can spend
Date: 2008-11-09 -
Comment: The orange box comes complete with 3 games, one of those having 2 expansions called episodes. Half 2 and it's two follow up episodes are a lot fun, combining first person shooters with puzzle elements and allowing you to use the innovative Gravity Gun with the Havok Physics engine for an exceedingly fun experience.
Team Fortress II is a fun multi-player shooter with plenty of online applicability.
Portal was declared game of the year by a number of sources so go check it out.
