The Orange Box is a bundle that includes five titles from Valve: Half-Life 2; Half-Life 2:Episode 1; Half-Life 2: Episode Two; Team Fortress 2, the sequel to the game that put class-based, multiplayer team warfare on the map; and Portal, the game that blends puzzles, first person action, and adventure gaming to produce an experience like no other.
This compilation gathers several of Valve's acclaimed adventures into one collection. At its heart is the saga of scientist Gordon Freeman, who awakens in the oppressive, dystopian City 17, a human society crushed beneath the rule of the alien Combine. Armed with little more than his wits and a crowbar, Freeman becomes an unlikely symbol of resistance, joined by allies such as Alyx Vance and the enigmatic Vortigaunts as their struggle against the Combine carries them from the crumbling city into the surrounding wilderness. The collection also includes a very different tale, in which a lone test subject awakens inside a sterile research facility and must navigate a series of deadly experiments under the watchful eye of a coldly sardonic artificial intelligence known as GLaDOS. Together these stories span desperate rebellion and eerie isolation, offering a sweeping and darkly imaginative journey through Valve's interconnected worlds.

Half-Life 2: Episode One is the first of a planned trilogy of expansion packs/episodes for the 2004 first-person shooter game, Half-Life 2. The episode takes place immediately after the end of Half-Life 2, in the war-torn setting of City 17. The player is forced to deal with the effects of their actions during the main game. The episode is a stand-alone game; while a continuation of Half-Life 2, it does not require the original game to be installed or registered to a user's Steam account to play. It takes advantage of several major upgrades to the Source engine since the release of Half-Life 2, primarily its high dynamic range rendering capabilities and the upgraded facial animation system. Episode One was released together with Half-Life Deathmatch: Source, a port of the original Half-Life's multiplayer, which doubles as Episode One's multiplayer component. The retail copies of Episode One also come with Half-Life 2 Deathmatch for those who have not previously purchased the later title.

Portal (last 3 games)

30.07.2024

As with previous works from BinkusTheTrinkus such as Half-Life: Google Translate Edition and Portal: Google Translate Edition, Portal 2: GTE aims to take all of the dialogue, text, and developer commentary of Portal 2, put it through several different languages in Google Translate, then put back into English. This fills the base game with a bunch of garbled nonsense that makes it nearly unrecognizable.
