I've selected these examples at near-random to avoid spoiling truly standout showpieces. Episode Two's entire five-hour experience -- vivid, emotionally engaging, and virtually unsurpassed -- is full of them.

Episode Two is the most sumptuous chapter of the Half-Life saga, and by a country mile. It's as if Valve's tech and art teams are trying to outdo each other: the Source engine has had a striking technical overhaul that renders textures, materials and curves uncannily well, and the artists clearly relish having a fresh palette to work with. Towering conifers bristle gently in the breeze, casting soft shadows across winding mountain paths.

On its own, Episode Two might not seem like much for its price tag, but as part of the Orange Box package, it becomes an excellent value that's packaged alongside two very different first-person games. Everything in here is top-notch, and while I have a hard time agreeing with the notion that Episode Two is really that innovative or new, the games it comes packaged with in the Orange Boxmost certainly are.

More great story blended with improved AI and better firefights. It's starting to retread old ground though...
