Valve, creators of Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike, today announce the retail launch dates for the stand-alone, PC versions of Team Fortress 2, Portal, and the Half-Life 2: Episode Pack are April 9th in North America and April 11th around the globe. Portal - the unique single player game that mixes puzzle, adventure and first-person action - is expected to retail for approximately $19.99. Portal has been named Game of theYear by over 30 publications worldwide and earned 40 more awards for special achievements in game design, writing, and music ("Still Alive" by GLaDOS and Jonathon Coulton). Team Fortress 2 (TF2), the sequel to the game that put team-based, multiplayer gaming on the map, is expected to retail for approximately $29.99. TF2 has been namedMultiplayer Game of the Year by Gamespy.com, PC Gamer magazine, and other leading media outlets. This retail version, like all PC versions of TF2, includes the recently released Badlands map and the ability to receive auto updates via Steam including the upcoming release of Goldrush, a new gameplay mode and map that combines the escort style gameplay of Hunted with the timed attack and defend gameplay of Dustbowl. The Half-Life 2 Episode Pack -which includes both of the award winning new episodes for the highest rated and best selling first-person action franchise of all time, plus Half-Life 2 Deathmatch for online play - is expected to retail for just $29.99. As was the case with The Orange Box, customers who already own one of these titles will have the ability to conveniently "gift" the game via Steam to a friend. "Given the unique nature and length of the games inside The Orange Box, the compilation approach was the right vehicle for the debut of these titles at retail," said Doug Lombardi, vice president of marketing at Valve. "With the flexibility of having different pricing and packaging options via Steam, we were able to test the market viability of the individual products. The results show an overwhelming demand for these stand-alone offerings as well as The Orange Box. This gives us tremendous confidence as we bring gamers more ways to get these titles at retail." All three packages include support for Steamworks achievements, automatic updates and more, and do not require Half-Life 2 to play. For more information, please visit www.steamgames.com http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/859/859...414p1.html Did post about this before but could not find it $29.99 for tf2  |

Meh, I still think the Orange Box is pretty much the best value gaming we've had the joy of seeing in a good few years. Not only an extra episode of HL2, but also Portal and TF2?? Oh, and lest we forget, an almost full backlog of all the other half-life stuff just-so-happens to come along with it as well. How could it get any better? I'll tel you how, the price! What more could a gamer need

What more could a gamer need Agreed. The Orange Box was and still is damn good value for the price. If you never played any of the games included before you're up for a decent 24 hour singleplayer game and days and days of multiplayer fun. Haven't regretted buying this once! Control yourself Take only what you need from him |

I agree the orange box is a absolute bargin. B ut some people I know are not into hl2, and refuse to buy a game twice. They also dont comprehend how good TF2 is as I belive its worth the box price alone (dont tell valve this) |

/me agrees with tinger TF2 is fun, like the kind of fun i had playing old school classics (quake) or big team games (bf1942/bf2). The first word that comes to mind when describing TF2 to other ppl is "fun" and there havent been a boat load of game in the past year that i would say that about. |

So that two people in the same house can play it at once? I know that's why we have two copies in our house. |
