The other game I got for my PS3 was Oblivion, Game of the Year Edition.

If The Orange Box is big, Oblivion is gargantuan. Steve Yegge's post on Oblivion indicates just how big it feels - and I have the two expansion packs. This'll last me all year.

One problem I've often had with complex computer RPGs in the past has been with awkward control systems. No such trouble here, after a bit of slow start.

It's pretty, too, if not quite so graphically stunning as Half-Life 2. You can spend time just wandering around looking at stuff.

Still very early days - I've only just started the main quest, and I'm still mainly exploring - but it's fun so far.
