Shoot us a text and share your thoughts, game suggestions, etc.!Episode 44 - The Best (and Worst) Retro Game CollectionsLou and I are diving into the world of game compilations, remasters, and collections! Some are incredible value-packed bundles, while others feel like quick cash grabs. But before we go any further, let's get something out of the way—Lou absolutely hates the original Tomb Raider games on PS1. Like, with a passion. He thinks they control like a drunk tank rolling down a hill. So, if you're a Tomb Raider fan, prepare for some heated opinions!We also talk about what makes a game collection truly great. Super Mario All-Stars on SNES set the gold standard, not just bundling games together but actually improving the graphics and gameplay—something modern collections rarely do. On the flip side, we discuss disappointments like Super Mario 3D All-Stars and GTA Trilogy: The Definitive Edition, which somehow managed to make their games worse.From Rare Replay to The Orange Box, we break down the best bang-for-your-buck collections, while also debating whether digital-only bundles are helping or hurting game preservation. Are these collections the best way to play retro games legally, or is emulation still king? Tune in and find out!Support the showWe've got merch!Check out the site for some awesome Gen 'S' swag :)

Andere sind wie der unheilige Spross eines Gemäldes von Hieronymus Bosch und einer Rede von Olaf Scholz. Um letztere soll es in dieser Folge gehen, denn wir erinnern uns an unsere schlimmsten Spieletests, jene dunklen Momente unserer Karrieren, wo wir schreien, brüllen, den Stift wegwerfen und den Job kündigen wollten.

May we introduce to you the New Name of our Podcast: Je Ne Sais Quoi What's in a name? Je Ne Sais Quoi sums it up for Muffy Drake. Take a listen to a short excerpt from the soon to be released full episode. In this sampler, you will hear the story of The Orange Box after an introduction by Xavier Combe and Lola (Mystery Host). Xavier worked for the French version of NPR for decades as a translator. He was the voice (in French) of Nobel Prize laureates and Oscar winners during their stay in France. No kidding.

Today, we'll all learn the history of Portal, originally released as part of the Orange Box for Windows and the Xbox 360 on October 10, 2007. As part of its story, we'll learn all about the student project that led to the development team of Portal being created at the Valve Corporation. We'll continue by talking about the development process of Portal itself, with lots of insight into how the team modified the game as they went along. So join us for today's triumphant trip down Memory Card Lane.
If you're an older player of video games, you know that 2007 was an historically-insane year for the medium. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Super Mario Galaxy, BioShock, The Orange Box, God of War II, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and Mass Effect -- amongst others -- all launched within 9 months of each other. And then there was Halo 3, arguably the king of them all. Halo 3 is the Xbox brand's single best-selling game by a mile, and it's an emblem of Microsoft's most successful era both commercially and critically, when it was a completely dominant force with its boot on its competitor's neck. Short and sweet at only eight hours (or so) long, Halo 3 is a thrill to play, though it does lack its predecessor's emphasis on story and lore, which is a bit of a bummer. And it of course thrived via online play via Xbox Live, which isn't at all what our podcast is about. Instead, we focus on its action movie-like campaign, which we both had a blast with. And we reminisce about a time when Microsoft nearly won the so-called Console War, before it somewhat befuddingly dropped the ball and gave the crown away. Learn more about your ad choices.

Alex and Luke talk Portal and Portal 2.Portal is a 2007 puzzle-platform game developed and published by Valve. It was released in a bundle, The Orange Box, for Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and has been since ported to other systems, including Mac OS X, Linux, Android (via Nvidia Shield), and Nintendo Switch. The game consists of a series of puzzles that must be solved by teleporting the player's character and simple objects using "the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device", often referred to as the "portal gun", a device that can create inter-spatial portals between two flat planes.Portal 2 is a 2011 puzzle-platform video game developed by Valve for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. The digital PC version is distributed online by Valve's Steam service, while all retail editions were distributed by Electronic Arts. A port for the Nintendo Switch was included as part of Portal: Companion Collection. Like the original, players solve puzzles by placing portals and teleporting between them. Portal 2 adds features including tractor beams, lasers, light bridges, and paint-like gels that alter player movement or allow portals to be placed on any surface. In the single-player campaign, players control Chell, who navigates the dilapidated Aperture Science Enrichment Center during its reconstruction by the supercomputer GLaDOSAlex played Portal and Portal 2 on the Steam Deck while Luke played Portal: Companion Collection on the Nintendo Switch.This episode is unofficially brought to you in part by CRT TVs.Support the showVisit us at LowFiveGaming.com.Join the Low Five Discord!Email us at hello@lowfivegaming.com.Theme music is by AJ Norman.

We are joined by none other than Daniel Mullins, the mastermind behind last year's mind-bending Inscryption, a game that wormed its way into our collective subconscious by subverting the medium and freaking us out (in a good way.) Clearly, we can't stop talking about this game, so we take full advantage of our time with Daniel, picking his brain about his iterative game design process, the importance of playtesting, and whether or not he actually murdered someone and buried the body in a forest for the Inscryption ARG. Also: Keanu's empty chair at the Game Awards, the possibility of balloon porn, and looking to The Orange Box for inspiration. You don't want to miss this one.

Well then, more Half-Life is it!? This week, we discuss Half-Life 2: Episode 1, as part of The Orange Box Collection from Valve. With the game before it being classed as one of the modern greats, does this small sequel hit expectations?

Show Topic Topic: Half Life Releases: Half-Life, was released on November 19, 1998 for Windows November 16, 2004, Valve released Half-Life 2. Half-Life 2 was the first game to use Valve's Steam content delivery system Episode One was released on June 1, 2006 Episode Two was released for Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on October 10, 2007 as part of the compilation The Orange Box. Valve released Half-Life: Alyx, a virtual reality (VR) game, on March 23, 2020, for Windows. Hal-Life Developement: According to designer Harry Teasley, Doom was a major influence, and the team wanted Half-Life to "scare you like Doom did". According to designer Brett Johnson, the level design was inspired by environments in the manga series Akira. By September 1997, the team found that while they had built some innovative aspects in weapons, enemies, and level design, the game was not fun and there was little design cohesion.[16] The company postponed the release and reworked every level. They also produced a 30-page document for the narrative, and hired science fiction novelist Marc Laidlaw to help manage the script.[11][16] Laidlaw said his contribution was to add "old storytelling tricks" to the team's ambitious designs: "I was in awe of [the team]. It felt to me like I was just borrowing from old standards while they were the ones doing something truly new."[ Half Life 2 Developement: Valve announced Half-Life 2 at E3 2003, with demonstrations of the characters, animation, and physics. The reaction was positive, and the game won the E3 Game of the Show award.[8] Newell also announced a release date, September 30, 2003 Rumors spread of a delay, but Valve made no announcement until September 23, when they released a statement targeting a "holiday" release, leading to fan backlash. In early October, the Half-Life 2 source code was leaked online by a German hacker, Axel Gembe, who had infiltrated Valve's internal network months earlier. A week later, a playable version of Half-Life 2 was compiled from the source code, revealing how unfinished it was. In 2004, the development team returned after Christmas to long hours, stressful working conditions, and no guarantee that the game, which was costing $1 million a month to develop, would be finished soon. Eric Plunk — Today at 11:55 AM Like many other PC games of the era, I enjoyed Half Life 1 & 2 vicariously through one of my best friends who always had the latest and greatest video cards. Half Life felt very much like the beginning of in engine cinematic storytelling and Half Life 2 built on that. Unfortunately the home console versions of these games didn't live up to the original releases so I haven't played through them on my own to this day. I need to acquire The Orange Box collection for my HL2 fix. Community Couch Questions Eric Plunk — 12/10/2021 Before you started collecting, when is the last time you remember playing a NES or other console? For me I remember playing one of the Sharp TV's with a NES built in at a friend's apartment around 2002. Punch Out was the main game I remember playing.

To put it another way; what are the really great game you can get now on the cheap? From my price is retro lists I’d have to say everyone should get a copy of NHL94 because it is the best hockey game all time and it is very affordable. Third Strongest Mole (Sam) Plok is certainly a contender. And if we're talking gamecube: Odama. For N64, I'd pick Rogue Squadron. It's currently $9.39 for the player's choice edition on price charting. SpiderShan So I’ll pick a couple of great GameCube games that are a ton of fun but won’t break the bank. First is Tales of Symphonia (one of my favorite RPGs) price charted at just $38. If you like comics you can pick up the incredible X-Men Legends for $13 or the even better sequel for $19, all CIB. 16 bit wars nomad Here’s an interesting question for everyone...what is your least favorite console? For me it would be the Wii. I hated the idea of motion controls and preferred an actual controller. And while there were some good games for the Wii It just wasn’t my favorite.

In this special episode, we sort of stretch the term of a platforming game to talk about this true gem of a game that came from Aperture Science Enrichment Center. (Okay, not really.) One of the crystal gems herself, Renny and I dive in on this 2007 Valve classic to see if it holds up today as one of the greatest games of the seventh generation or was it better to let it stay back in The Orange Box with GLaDOS and her piece of cake.

The topic comes up due via Sony, Nintendo and Xbox showing support via Twitter, many things are brought up here including the question is it enough? This is a long conversation and is probably the most serious conversation that has been had on this podcast, even though this is a gaming podcast the guys personally felt that this was too big of a cause to not talking about it. https://archive.org/download/twitchcast-29/Twitchcast%2029.mp3

On today's show, Marc talks about how they'd rather be playing Red Dead Redemption 2 than recording this podcast and that, if you aren't interested in what is one of the biggest games of the year, that's okay. In addition to all that, they review At Sundown and talk about some Valve games that recently got the Xbox One X Enhanced treatment, including Left 4 Dead and The Orange Box. Anyway, something-something hyperbolic and catatonic, cheers and enjoy the anime-zing(ly rocky) show. Anyway, that's it and that's all folks.

It seems in our old age we've succumbed to the warm embrace of nostalgia. This week, we again look back in time at Valve's most delectable release, The Orange Box. You remember, right? It had a bunch of Half-Life 2 episodes and Portal and Team Fortress 2. What a great collection. Also, we gotta stop doing this segments because we're all feeling really old after we finish these. This episode also includes a rundown of a selection of recent gaming releases and headlines followed by a brief (mostly corroborated) history of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels … which the fam decides is too difficult to be fun. Feel free to fire back at us casuals, if you like, but we ain't got time for that. We wrap things up with another edition of Buffa's Back o' the Box Beatdown (working title that I just came up with, just now). All that and more on today's show!
