I seriously don't miss World of Warcraft and its been about 2 months since I played it. This is great for a gamer addict, but what is replacing it? Orange Box is what has replaced it, lol.

Valve does it again with Orange Box and its fine collection of Half Life 2 stuff and the release of Team Fortress 2. If you lived under a rock some place and missed Half Life and the sequels then you missed out on one of the truly best story driven First Person Shooters EVER.

Half Life 2 picks up where the first leaves off, it doesn't miss a heartbeat in the story line. If only Hollywood was this consistent, huh? There is no learning curve to suffer through in HL2, but the improvements are great. The Source Graphics engine that drives the realistic environment is amazing. Sure you will want to sink you lunch money into perhaps a new system or at least a graphics card, but your brain will feast on the eye candy and tell your growling gut to STFU.

Orange Box is a hella buy, it gives you the HL2 series which one alone would pay for the OB, but they also toss in Team Fortress 2. TF2 has been waited on by TFC fans for YEARS and this one delivers what is worth the wait.

Portal is epically great too, I am hooked on it at the moment, it just never ends...lol.
