NOT QUITE ROCKET SCIENCE: A PORTAL OVERVIEW
You awaken in a cold, sterile room. It’s barren except for a toilet, the bed pod from which you arose, and a radio playing a chipper tune that seems completely out of place in your spartan surroundings. You have no idea who you are or why you’re here, but it’s clear that something isn’t right—everything around you is in a state of disrepair, and the monotonous, synthesized voice that’s gently prodding you out of your chamber doesn’t seem to be quite all there.
It is clear, however, that you have some high-tech toys at your disposal. For better or worse, this unhinged artificial intelligence is apparently your only shot of getting out of wherever it is you are in one piece, and given how crazy things are looking, you’re going to need all the help you can get.
In the world of Portal, you’re a human rat trapped in a high-tech maze, and you need lightning reflexes and a whip-crack mind to navigate through it. Luckily, you also have science on your side...sometimes, anyway.

As I stated in earlier posts, I'm in an early phase of teaching myself FPS games. The Orange Box was one of the games I bought to educate myself in the fine art of shooters. I got this along with Bioshock from someone on my AF base used.
All my friends have played Half Life 2 and portal. Most of my friends back in California are science and math nerds, so the physics behind the game made them giddy. They also liked portal because of the physics used. When I was home last August one of my friends showed me Team fortress 2. I had seen all these games before, but didn't pay any attention because they were FPS games. The Orange box comes with 5 full games. Half life 2, Half life 2: Episode 1, Half Life 2: Episode 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2. What better deal can you get on 1 disk?
I started with Half life 2. I read a synopsis of the first game, so i could understand what was going on with the storyline. The game starts out fast paced and action packed, and continues throughout the rest of the game. The weapons, the vehicles, the dialogue, it's all good. The graphics were astounding. I should have played this before Halo 3. The game seems like a typical FPS until the vehicle travel came into play. I have to admit the controls to vehicles in Half Life 2 are tricky to get a hang of. One thing that Halo got right is vehicle travel controls. Once you start driving around it seems like the game is endless. The maps are huge, and it takes hours to get through different sections. There are a multitude of blocks in the road you have to dismount and figure out how to move. The storyline progresses and zombies, robots, snipers, epic boss fights show up. The last boss is about ten times easier than the first boss. Overall the game is amazing. The physics added really make the game.
