    Yeah, I have it myself (I bought it for €30 on CD World about 2 months ago - cheapest I found it new at the time) and wow. What a game.

    Tried ordering but it tells me there's a problem with my delivery address. Something to do with the fact that it's in "pounds" means it can only be delivered to a UK address. Never had this problem in the past.

    Any ideas?

    I'd be very wary of The Orange Box.

    Great value for money it is, IF you like the Half Life 2 series.

    I found the games utterly linear, with a poor story and absymal combat.
    Basically there are so many health and armour packs lying around that all you have to do is stand in front of any enemy and just spam the fire button till they die.

    There is only one way to go, and the often feels like an "on rails" shooter like Time Crisis or House of the Dead.

    Portal is awesome though.

    Thats arse talk. Team fortress 2 is a great game and always will be.

    Ahem, sorry, when you click on the euro price it changes to €33.70, which is a total rip-off considering the sterling price is £17.99 (€22.50) - only use Play.com for bargains, avoid at all other times!

    Fantastic. If they have to order more stock there's always the chance it'll be back in stock at that price again.

    Got this the other day.

    Tried the original HL2, same as I remember on the PC. Looks a little dated alright.

    Portal is excellent though, a nice change from the norm.

    TF2 is OK, again a bit different to COD4, etc.
