About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate.

We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 7134 DaysWhy couldn't they have implemented their HDR here? Better textures?
It really gives me no reason to play Half Life 2 again. I have the PC version and that looks better, so really, no reason. I really wonder if two expansions, and two very short games really add up to $60.--Yes, I question the value.
6 Maps for Team Fortress was a big surprise for me too. There' NO WAY this game could stand on its own for $60 or even $50 like someone say it does. No matter how good it is, the value is not really there. If I was criticizing Shadowrun's measly 11 maps and being MP-only, 6 maps and a better game gets you to the same place, a low value.
I think I'll wait for COD4 to come out and then decide what to buy.
Nothing more rude than trying to be the internet diplomat and abusing of power.

Since 7134 DaysReally, if they really didn't bother to improve textures other than resolution, I'm disappointed. I have the PC version modded with the cinematic mod and the textures are simply awesome on characters, yet somehow the 360 version does not have it, according to the IGN review anyways.

Since 7650 DaysBut like GriftGFX already said, 'None of that bothers me much anyway -- PC version for me all the way.'
And since I think most consolegamers that are gonna buy the Orange Box have never really played HL2, that game incl. the 2 Episodes and Portal make the package still well worth 60 bucks..

Since 6618 DaysBy the by I dont appreciate being called a fanny boy. I love Halo.
Since 7134 DaysOne question, how does TF stress the computer when compared to Half Life 2/CSS?
@The Beagle,
I will read other reviews man, Thanks.
EDIT: I just read the Gamespot review and they say Half Life 2 looks lacking :|

Since 6956 DaysSo here is hoping i will find half life 2 a lot more fun on the 360 than the pc .... if so i will report back and take back my words, until then .....yeah it boring.
My comments on this game/machine been good or bad does not mean i like/hate the machine i am not a fan nor a hater, just i have a opinion and wish to share it.
Since 6983 DaysPlus i just like watching you all bite to the same bull shit you was saying about halo 3 but been said about half life, fucking fannyboys.
Further, notice how the responses were malicious or the like; instead we let you have your own opinion but gave examples of why we didn't arrive at that conclusion and presented a case for quite the opposite.
If only Halo discussions could be so constructive :|

Since 6769 DaysI must apologize for what I did with my first comment. That was just a Halo fanboy inside me.;) I'm sure The Orange Box is fantastic value and for Valve fans it delivered on all fronts. I think I might pick up the game next year when it's cheaper.

Since 6364 DaysI just got done comparing the textures in one of the coast levels of HL2, because the texture seemed a little low resolution on the 360, but it's exactly the same as the PC version plus a detail map.
Since 7013 DaysSo I don't recommend continuing down this path. I'm letting this slide.. you can keep discussing your opinion all you want, but this malicious bullshit isn't acceptable.

Halo 3... Believe.
Since 7013 DaysI still haven't bought it yet.. but it'll probably my next gaming purchase on PC. Probably. I need TF2 at least, and since I don't own EP1/2 either it seems to make sense to go ahead and purchase HL2 again.

Since 7710 DaysI only played TF2 last night for about 15mins. I thought is was OK... definitely not enough time to form a good or bad opinion. I'm eager to get more time in it. For me the value is definitely there... I wonder if we'll see other companies do similar compilations? Also anyone think there is any hope of seeing CounterStrike Source for 360, as DLC?
