The Orange Box Paint Contest

by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Oct 09, 2007 11:18am PDT

Related Topics – Steam, Valve, Contests

With Valve's The Orange Box soon approaching on PC and Xbox 360, the venerable studio has listened to gamers' concerns that five games in the package isn't good enough. Adding Peggle was a good start, but there's still something missing. Shackers, will you wield the power of Microsoft Paint to depict this mystery game that The Orange Box clearly needs? Your task is to create the best or funniest box artwork that such a mysterious addition would have if published separately. First place will receive a free copy of Orange Box via Steam, a Team Fortress 2 poster signed by Valve staffers, and a holiday Vortigaunt plushy. Runners up will have the choice of a Vortigaunt or a poster. You have until Tuesday, October 9th at 5pm EST, and winners will be announced tonight.
