The box art for The Orange Box by Valve Software, containing HL2: Episode 2, Team Fortress 2, and Portal, has been revealed (http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/13854/EXCLUSIVE-Final-HalfLife-2-Orange-Box-Art/). Now we can all breathe.

I sure am glad I plan on buying this over Steam. This cover is so ugly, it would scare my other games to the opposite side of the shelf. Gordon looks emotionally broken down. Almost like he's ready to cut "Alyx" into his wrist with the crowbar, if it weren't for that pesky hazard suit.

The game is set to be released on October 9th (mid-February translated to Valve time). Portal will be the best, just for the fact that you can get trapped in an infinite loop.

I'm planning to get this on the 360, because my PC's not able to run Half-Life 2 in its current state. As a result, I've got to put up with that box-art.

I'm hoping for a slip-case with more compelling art on it than that.

I think it might be a fluke cause in that link, that website has their name on it...
wait a tic, today is friday...
Blasted! Have I been fooled again?!?

No. That one isn't a joke. I'm not sure what you are talking about with the "website has their name on it?".

Valve really has that truth in advertising thing down pat... Orange Box in a... wait for it. .. orange box! At least we know where they're cutting corners to afford to put all three games in one package for sixty bucks....even if you've already bought and beat (numerous times) half life 2 and half life two: episode one...

I demand the black box to be brought back! >:(. I just want to play portal.

You can still buy the black box on Steam.

When I clicked it, the pic they had, had their name in it...
TeamXbox, right there at the bottom.

Oh, that's because I stole the picture from Gamespot. The Xbox article didn't have the PC cover.
