Zell Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Played Portal today... boy is it fantastic! The ingenuity of it all... and that computer voice is ace. "Any contact with the floor will result in an unsatisfactory mark on your training record... followed by death." Will definately be getting this when I (eventually) get a 360.

fatnickc Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Will be getting this once I've bought my 360 and it's arrived, which, all being well, means Friday. I haven't actually played any of the games on the disc, so this is bargain-tacular for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Items not yet dispatched: Delivery estimate: 18 Oct 2007 * 1 of: Half Life 2: The Orange Box (Xbox 360) Sold by: Amazon EU S.a.r.L. Amazon say mine is coming on Thursday. Can't see it myself. Friday at the least, with Saturday being more realistic. I have chosen express delivery though.

Bluejay Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Shopto have sent my copy... should be here tomorow if the royal mail dont fail Same although the last two games I ordered said they had despatch a few days early and they arrived on, dare I say it, launch day. Despicable service! From Shopto I expect my games at least a week early, at least! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodleman Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I sent a film back to lovefilm last Monday that finally arrived today so by that logic you should get PGR tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluejay Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Post is wierd atm. Two of my lovefilm rentals got posted on thurs. I got one on mon but haven't got the other yet. Something arrived today that was marked as too big for the letterbox and I haven't ordered anything but Orange Box so it must be that. It doesn't have a special box does it? Eh, I'll find out tommorow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Ironflame Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 My cards' been authorised this morning and it was being pick and packed but the status hasn't changed so far. I was going to replay Bioshock but if this is coming soon I won't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I got it around 7 am this morning. Here are some of my impressions so far. The graphics in HL2 are better than the PC version's. Almost every texture has been upped, the boat and kart you drive look much nicer, the lighting is awesome. Basically, everything is at least as good as the PC versions, and even better in a lot of cases. I haven't touched the episodes or Portal yet, as I'm going through the game in order, but so far, this is everything I hoped for, and much more. Bear in mind, I am only up to the part where you ride the kart on the beach, so later chapters I can't comment on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintenchris Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Well well well Mine turned up, jumped right into Portal... its awesome Played some of Half Life 2 and im enjoying that too, just need some of you guys to get it so we can play Team Fortress 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 17/10/2007 13:30:40 Your order has been dispatched on: {0} Woot. Dispatched a couple of minutes ago. I guess that means I should have it by the end of the month, if the current Royal Mail standards are kept up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I've just found out that the fantastic Adam Baldwin does some minor voice acting in Episode 2. It's even better than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Baldwin also appears as a voice actor in Half Life 2: Episode 2 as additional voices for resistance soldiers, according to Wiki. He's hardly a "big" part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
