Ea Opens Up The Orange Box for PlayStation 3
The Orange Box is now available for the PlayStation3 computer entertainment system, Electronics Arts reported.
Originally developed by Valve, the game gives players five action games for the price of one. Now Electronic Arts brings the collection to the PlayStation 3 in North America and most of Europe, with French and German versions expected in early 2008.
The Orange Box was released earlier this year on the Xbox 360 and PC - both versions have averaged a 96 based on Metacritic.com and are tied for the highest rated games on each respective platforms, including 17 perfect scores.
The five-games-in-one-package includes the first person shooter Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, and three all-new games:
- Half Life 2: Episode Two - Episode 2 is the latest chapter in the best-selling, highest-rated action game franchise of all time, taking gamers outside the walls of City 17 for the first time as Gordon and Alyx race across the White Forest in race to save mankind from the Combine.
- Portal - A new kind of action game that will forever change the way gamers interact with their environment, Portal gives players mastery over 3D space with the mind-bending new Portal gun.
- Team Fortress 2 - The long-awaited return of the standard for class-based multiplayer games, Team Fortress 2 delivers fast-paced action with nine distinct character classes and six all-new gameplay modes.
The Orange Box, created by Valve and brought to the PlayStation 3 by the EA UK studio, is rated M for Mature by the ESRB.
