Games From The Orange Box Flying Solo

As already reported, from the 9th-11th April we will be seeing the games which made the Orange Box the success it was, released as individual retail games. The pricing scheme will be as follows
  • Portal - $19.99 USD
  • Team Fortress 2 - $29.99 USD
  • Half-life 2 Episode Pack (inc both episodes plus HL2 Deathmatch) - $29.99 USD

It's also important to point out the last in the list there still supports the 'gift' features, so if you already own one of those episodes or deathmatch you may gift it to a friend. Also all three packages include support for Steamworks achievements, automatic updates and more, and do not require Half-Life 2 to play. Also a reminder, to buy the Orange Box with all these titles together the current price on Steam is $49.95 USD (so a good saving if you want more than 1 of the above packages). Doug Lombardi says...
With the flexibility of having different pricing and packaging options via Steam, we were able to test the market viability of the individual products. The results show an overwhelming demand for these stand-alone offerings as well as The Orange Box. This gives us tremendous confidence as we bring gamers more ways to get these titles at retail

Episode 2
Portal
Team Fortress 2 (Nice...that's more like it)

The TF2 boxart looks like, I don't know, some kind of self-help book or something.
"Don't be a guy with a hat, a WWI Flamethrower dude, or a blue-collar plumber, be the big happy guy with the giant gun (genetalia) in the front!"
Is that the best they could do?

And now that I look closer, you can't even tell what the HWG guy is holding, unless you already know.

Red appears to be strangely more iconic than Blu

Because your opinion sucks.

Box art is awesome. I'm glad they did this, might bring some more appeal by people just walking by it at the store.

Finally, box art.

Was that really so hard?

Like the G-man on the side on the Episode Two box. Nice touch.
