Valve Unleashes the Orange Box on Steam

Valve has announced that the Orange Box is now available over the Steam digital distribution system.

The Orange Box package includes the three latest releases from Valve: Half-Life 2 Episode Two, which continues the saga of Gordon Freeman's adventure's in a Combine-conquered world; Team Fortress 2, sequel to the popular class-based team combat mod; and Portal, a gravity-bending first-person puzzle-adventure game.

The retail release of the Orange Box also includes the original Half-Life 2 FPS, as well as Half-Life 2 Episode one, the first installment in Valve's episodic sequel. The package is priced at $49.95 for the PC and $59.95 for the Xbox 360, and Valve is allowing gamers who have already purchased the previous Half-Life 2 titles to "gift" the included copies to a friend over the Steam network.
