Wowzaz! We've just been blindsided by a new game demo on the XBLM this morning, we didn't even see it coming, but oddly enough we're loving it.Available for download off the Marketplace to nearly all Xbox Live members around the globe is a brand new, Thanksgiving surprise The Orange Box: Half-Life 2 Episode 2 demo from team Valve. The demo, which we expect to feature only HL2 EP2 fun and not any other Orange Box goods, will take up 732MB of hard drive space and will probably leave you wanting more Orange Box fun ... especially Portal.

off topic:
that samsung/verizona advert is really really annoying. they need to make a law to ban those ads who float over your page. not only that but when you close it you have to wait for it to do a full 360 again!

Rubbish demo of a great game, it seems like this is the first 5 minutes of the game, you only get the grav gun for 5 mins, there are like 5 enemies and your basically listening to alex talk through the whole thing, no real action at all.
On the plus side, great graphics and smooth frame rate, oh and the grav gun rules

I hadn't problems downloading it but this game just didn't felt good on X360, I'll better buy it again (already have HL2) for PC.

Pretty crappy demo. It's too short, and you get one weapon. Having just got a 360, I wanted to try the game out today. Fortunately, it should be in the mail tomorrow via Gamefly. I have no doubt at all it's a great game, but the demo could have been better.
