I'd say go for the Orange Box...
Not only do you get Portal, you get one of the best series ever, excluding the original Half-Life, and TF2. Although, I only played TF2 when it first came out.

I'd say go for the Orange Box...
Not only do you get Portal, you get one of the best series ever, excluding the original Half-Life, and TF2. Although, I only played TF2 when it first came out.
I have to say that Portal has been one of the most refreshingly novel gaming experience I've had in a long while. Definately worth it.
The Orange Box is worth it too, but I'd recommend playing through Half-Life 1 before going through the HL2 series. It's an awesome experience no one who plays video games should overlook.
I highly recommend getting Half-Life AND NOT HALF-LIFE SOURCE!!!!
Half-Life Source DOES NOT HAVE HALF-LIFE 2 GRAPHICS! Lots of people buy HLS expecting Half-Life 2 graphics. It's the same old Half-Life just ran in the source engine. Plus, if you buy Half-Life, you can get over hundreds of user created mods, skins, player models, sounds, maps, and much much more FOR FREE!
