While most of you have played through the Orange Box’s five games on the PC, I think I am the first member in G.S. to pick it up for 360. While it may be just a port, there are some major differences regarding the two versions. I will explain them now.
(Before I begin I will say I’ve beaten Portal on 360 and Half-Life 2 on PC and only experimented with TF2 on 360. I haven’t dug into Episode 1 or 2 so I will only focus on technical aspects of the game. We all know its good.)
So with a high end PC downstairs with a better connection why would I get it on Xbox 360? Well after getting Half-Life 2 (game of the year edition) on PC about two years ago and beating it I decided to pick up O.B. on 360 for a few reasons.
Mainly, I just like controllers more than keyboards and mouse. In a game like Portal however, there were a few levels where I was begging for the preciseness of a mouse though, mainly because the game is all about aiming perfectly once you get the puzzles figured out. After beating Portal though I moved onto HL2 for a third playthrough (first two on PC). While HL2 is by all regards a PC game, for me it feels so much better with a controller. Not only am I significantly better at it, but elements like vehicles (which are a major part of HL2’s story mode) and platforming work better with a thumbstick than a WASD combination. I was able to move at a speed I wanted rather than full throttle which is what you get by pressing down W. Switching weapons is also a lot easier with a D pad as well.
The 360’s version’s graphics are not as good as it’s PC counterparts, and its weird to see my exploits as Gordon Freeman on a TV but for me these are very redeeming qualities. Along with these, I just enjoy using my 360 a lot more than my PC. Installation, patches, folders, blah. I’ve had a pet peeve for installations since my first Flight Simulator game- so I think we can all agree, putting a disc into a disc tray and playing it instead of waiting is a lot nicer. Also on my PC I am not an administrator so I have to log into my dad’s account for installing and yada yada yada.
And finally achievements. Not for boosting my gamerscore, but being able to compare progress in the game with people on my friends list is so well developed it really does define the experience of Xbox Live. On PC I could compare with you guys, but with games like Guitar Hero 3, Halo 3, Assassin’s Creed, and Skate on my 360, I’m usually not on Steam that much anymore.
Orange Box is still a great game on PC, and after being away from HL2 for so long, it does really prove that, in fact, Half Life 2 is the best game of all time.
