Few things in life are more satisfying than hurling a fuel barrel into the face of a Combine Hunter machine.Īs far as "The Orange Box's" new material goes, "Half-Life 2: Episode Two," stars Gordon and Alyx and follows the two as they assist the resistance in shutting down an inter-dimensional rift the Combine are using as an elevator between their world and Earth. One controller trigger picks up objects and the other launches them. More often than not, you'll be packing "Half-Life's" trademark Gravity Gun for no other reason than it's so darned fun. The inventory screen can be clumsy to operate, so it's best to have your weapon of choice equipped before a firefight.

The 360's controller, while certainly less precise than a PC mouse, does a competent job with aiming and navigating. If Gordon is driving erratically she might laugh at him or express gratitude for not getting car sick. Gordon's partner Alyx is even more life-like, complete with subtle facial expressions and context-specific comments. Here are characters you'll care about.įor the Xbox 360 version of "The Orange Box," Valve has gone back and given "Half-Life 2" and "Episode One" a shiny new coat of paint - motion blur, higher quality fire and lighting effects and increased surface texture details are immediately noticeable. The humor and rich characters set the material heads and shoulders above gaming's usually flat, predictable fare. Suffice it to say that "Half-Life 2" and the subsequent episodic sequels, the first two included here, are tales imbued with a haute-pulp, sci-fi flavor. All this scientific tomfoolery with mother nature has also unleashed legions of zombies, insectoid mutations and assorted beasties which means there's never a dull moment for Gordon. He's aided by human resistance fighters and scientists. "Half-Life 2" sees Freeman revived and facing off against the Combine - enemies from another dimension who have taken over Earth. The characters and storyline benefit immensely thanks to deft writing and almost distractingly realistic character and facial animations. "Half-Life 2" is where the material starts to come into its own. At the close of "Half-Life," Gordon is put into stasis by a mysterious character known colloquially as G-Man. It seems that fiddling around with time and space has its consequences. He spends his time during "Half-Life" trying to undo the damage caused by a botched experiment at the top-secret Black Mesa Research Facility. Our hero Gordon Freeman, the strong, silent type, is a theoretical physicist who's quite capable of kicking some serious butt. If you're a newcomer to the series, a quick plot re-cap is in order.
