I don't really understand Half Life the original. I'm going to try Episode 1 and 2 later on, but right now Team Fortress 2 has me addicted. You'd think it'd get boring since it is kind of repetitive, but it doesn't. You play on different servers, with different people, with tons of different maps, with different mods, etc.
It's funny in some games, competitive in others, and just casual in a lot. Really great game. Half Life is supposed to be an amazing game, I just haven't really experienced it yet.
Portal is fun, I haven't played it too much but it was kind of challenging and addicting at first, and I expect it to get much, much harder later on.
I'd go with Orange box. As would all the gaming organizations, magazines, and statistics I know of. Ranking of the games are better, multiplayer on TF2 was given numerous awards that COD4 didn't earn yet, and it's called the best deal in the industry.
Orange box all the way. Get Cod4 later if you want it.
