Alright, here's my 1st "not survival" horror game thread for the forum. It's before the big name change, but yeah....

Admittedly, this is REALLY stretching it, as, while Half-Life can be INCREDIBLY creepy at times, it's not really a horror game......I'm just testing the waters here a bit, and, like before, y'all keep on giving me some input.

Half-Life 2: Orange to Compliment 'Black Box'
Both PC and console versions undergoing the revision.
By Patrick Klepek, 01/17/2007

Last week, 1UP speculated the reason the forthcoming bundled release of Half-Life 2, its two episodic expansions, Team Fortress 2 and Portal were being rebranded as Half-Life 2: Orange on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 was to reduce confusion for gamers who hadn't been followed the series on PC. IGN, however, has more details on the change, and outlines the alternative, entitled Black Box.

Black Box will retail for $39.99 on PC only and feature Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Team Fortress 2 and Portal -- pricing it quite a bit higher than Episode 1's $14.99, but you're getting far more bang for your buck here, too. Orange Box, however, is coming to PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 and contains the original Half-Life 2, Episode 1 and everything else described for $59.99 -- an incredible deal, if you think about it.

Steam users, of course, should be able to pick and choose what they want at individual prices, though Valve hasn't divulged what exactly those will be just yet.

Not exactly happy about the price but I guess it's reasonable. I just hope that episode two is a little longer than the first.

60 bucks isn't so bad. Isn't that how much most 360 games cost new anyways? Not a bad deal, I'd say.

I'm talking about the PC one. Sixty is a great price for all of that on a console.

Hmm.....after a bit of thought and consideration, I think I'll be moving this to general discussion. I'll leave it up for now for folks to see first.

While the Half-Life games DO have plenty of heebie-jeebies from time to time, it's definitly got more of an action-y feel. The scary parts are there to be scary, but overall, the game as a whole isn't really meant to be scary.
