The Orange Box - The Greatest PC "Game" Ever: Well,
according to Metacritic anyway. The Orange Box, containing Half-Life 2,
Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal and Team Fortress
2, has currently got a Metascore of a whopping 97 - one point higher than
any other PC game. Of course, The Orange Box is actually five games, not
one, so I'm not sure whether it should really count. Episode Two on its own
has currently got a Metascore of 91, putting it at number 57 on Metacritic's
list of PC games by Metascore (though numbers 38 to 61 all have the game
Metascore), and Portal's Metascore is currently 89, putting it at number 100
on the list (though 76 to 103 have the same Metascore).

Uplink Source: The latest Half-Life 2 Mod to be added to my

Half-Life called, well, "Uplink". Unlike most demos, Uplink did not have a
scenario or location from the actual game. Click below then the link under
"Screenshots" for the first four screens.
