BY Rain Anderson Oct. 6th, 2007

Valve has sent out a message letting us know that they’ll be unlocking The Orange Box just after midnight Pacific time next Wednesday, October 10th. If you’re not planning to get the game through Steam then know that it will also be available at game retailers later on the 10th, for both PC and Xbox 360.

There’s also a nifty new TV ad available, check that out above.

HL1 set the stage for location and opened up the book, HL2 is the meat of the story. Short answer - Neither is better than the other. They both have their own merits. They’re both also linear. Point A to B, watch for the soldiers and alien menace. Tried and true.

It was great in its time, but if youve never played it, its not really worth trying (i tried, and just couldnt be bothered). Hl2, on the other hand, is fantastic. If you really want to know the story to hl1, youll find out more from fan-sites.
