The three Half-life 2 games are incredible....I never played them before, held off for a good console port and finally got it. Definitely one of the best sci-fi story's in a videogame....the gameplay is outstanding, its exciting and there are so many "HOLY CRAP, did you see that?!" moments. These 3 games alone are worth the price.

Portal is fun but extremely short and unchallenging...its got some interesting concepts and fun puzzles, and you can play advanced versions once you complete the game.

Team Fortress 2 is the multiplayer game...i expected to like this more...its definitely fun but wont keep my interest very long. There are tons of classes to choose from and the matches are quite frantic, which is good. Worth a purchase for sure
