Joystiq reports that Valve will soon release individual retail copies of the constituent games from their hit title,
The Orange Box. The titles, which will hit stores on April 9, include
Half-Life 2 Episode Pack (Episodes 1 and 2),
Team Fortress 2, and
Official Seal of Nerd 3rd place winner
Portal. These games have been available in their individual forms on Valve's digital distribution program, Steam, for some time, but this is the first time physical copies will be available.
Those wishing to simply catch up on their
Half-Life, try out some
Team Fortress action, or experience the magic of
Portal can now buy only the games they want. Dare I say that this was a triumph?
EDIT 1: Sorry, but the titles are not releasing on the Xbox 360. Maybe later...?
