The Orange Box edges out Halo 3 for game of the month

TF2 isn't even in the same league as Halo 3 multiplayer

You're insane. Now I'll admit that it's much easier to hop on Halo and get a game going, but once you're in a game with a good host, Team Fortress 2 is leagues better than Halo 3.. hell COD 4 and Shadowrun are for that matter as well.

So I'm looking at my new EGM last night and I was more than a little surprised at this. Halo 3 got scores of 10, 10, and 9 and The Orange Box got 10, 10, and 9.5. Is the Orange Box the long fabled "Halo killer"? I have yet to pick it up as I've never been much of a Half Life fan but maybe I should give it a rent. Thoughts?

I think the only surprising thing about that is that Halo 3 scored so high. But that's EGM for you. Halo 3 is in actuality about a 7 or 8 and that's even stretching it, but no one will admit it.

Orange Box on the other hand is excellent, and every game in the package wipes the floor with Halo 3 in some form or another.
