Half Life 2: Episode Two – the second chapter in Valve’s award-winning trilogy, taking gamers beyond the walls of City 17 for the first time.

Portal – A groundbreaking new kind of action game that will forever change the way gamers interact with their environment, much like Half Life 2’s gravity gun rewrote the rules for how gamers manipulate in-game objects and use physics.

Team Fortress 2 – The long-awaited return of the legendary king of role-based online multiplayer games, Team Fortress 2 pushes the Source Engine to new heights with a daring new art style and deep multiplayer gameplay for nine distinct roles.

Half-Life 2: The Orange Box Features:

5 Games, One Box – The Orange Box is the ultimate collection of innovative action games for the PC or console, and an amazing introduction to the Half Life series for console gamers.

Epic Storyline – Half Life 2: Episode Two takes gamers deeper into one of the best-known stories in gaming, following the desperate struggle of Gordon Freeman against the mysterious Combine. In this episode, gamers will leave the confines of City 17 for the first time.

Redefining Action – Portal delivers an innovative new action gaming experience. Arming players with a portal gun allowing them to create portals from one location to another with the press of a button, Portal will forever change the way that gamers interact with their environment.

World-Class Multiplayer* – Team Fortress 2 is the sequel to granddaddy of role-based multiplayer action games. Featuring nine distinct roles – Heavy, Spy, Scout, Demoman, Engineer, Medic, Sniper, Soldier and Pyro – Team Fortress 2 is one of this year’s most anticipated multiplayer games for any platform

:y: All that for £40

I've seen 16 man teams, so 32 man games. Don't think i've seen any bigger, there very small maps though so it just gets impossible.

Yep, I have been playing the TF2 beta for about a week now.

I tried Half Life 2 but it's not my type of game, too much thinking involved rather than blowing shizzle up. I downloaded the full package, lost coust/HLE2, HL2, TF2 etc..

If you think HL2 involves a lot of thinking then try Portal. Its nuts!!! -> starts of nice and basic and then it builds up to some pretty insane stages. It did my head in when I played one the betas earlier in the year :panic:

My PC isn't good enough to play loast coast :( , but it still plays episode 1 and should be fine with 2. Did you get episode 1 aswell as loast coast and episode 2?

You should get Day of Defeat: Source aswell. Its multiplayer only, WW2 domination style game. It's absolutely brilliant!
