It’s easy to see, for anyone who has been on the Internet within the past month or so, how popular Valve’s (The) Orange Box is. As someone who has never played Half-Life, I had some difficulty figuring out why people were so damn excited about a game whose title could be broken down to a type of fruit and a cube. Yes, I’m well aware that Half-Life 2: Episode 2 being released with it’s previous installments included is a God-send for newcomers to the series like me, but what really had me curious was Portal.
