Valve has pulled back the lid on The Orange Box - the bundle Half Life 2: Episode 2 will ship with - a little further.

Below you'll find a bevy of Half Life 2: Episode 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2 delights, courtesy of the official website for The Orange Box.

SPOnG has to say that we're pleased to see the game looking so pleasantly wholesome. After spending hours on end trudging round ruined cities, darkened alleys and grimy tunnels it's so nice to a shooter set in the Great Outdoors. Sure we'll be playing in the wee hours in a darkened room lit only by the flicker of a PC monitor, but who needs real outdoor pursuits when you can practically smell the fresh air seeping from your screen (over the reek of day-old pizza and stale beer)?

You can find out more about Half Life 2: Episode 2 on SPOnG's dedicated game page.
