I picked up The Orange Box yesterday, and I played it for a few hours (mostly Portal, with a round or two of Team Fortress 2).
I have decided that I love it (especially Portal), but I "caught" my wife (via xbox.com) playing it before she left for work this morning. Maybe The Orange Box (or at least Portal) is one of those games that wives and girlfriends will play?
These are actual Instant Messages from her:
