The Orange Box was the best game purchase I have made in at least 
five years, and that's in large part due to the sheer awesome of
Portal, which I consider to be easily the best game of 2007 (although
to be fair, my graphics card is poo so I never got to play Bioshock).
Excellent puzzles, just the right length, and a wonky, dark sense
of humor made it a truly excellent experience.

The other part of its awesome is TF2, which as I once mentioned in
my LJ is just about the most fun you can have at your computer while 
still wearing pants.  :-)
