Well, you can't say Valve hasn't tried to get you into hanging out with the Combine. The creators of the Half-Life franchise are shipping two different bundles of Half-Life 2: Episode Two when it comes out later this year, giving you a lot of content for some pretty sweet prices.

Fans will be able to purchase an Episode Two-specific version that gets them straight into the continuing saga of Gordon Freeman, while newcomers to the second Half-Life game can purchase a set that has all the bells and whistles.

For long-time PC gamers who've spent a lot of time with Alyx Vance and company in Episode One, Valve's offering the PC-only Black Box edition of the game. This version will contain Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal, and Team Fortress 2, and will command a US$ 39.99 price tag.

Console and PC gamers who have yet to get in on the action will be glad to hear about the Orange Box edition of the game. The Orange Box will not only have the Black Box content, but will also include Half-Life 2 and Episode One for that added gameplay punch. There will be PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 versions of the game, which will all fetch a price of US$ 59.99.

Expect these game bundles to be out this summer. Hopefully, we won't have to deal with any more delays this time around
