Maybe it's better if HL2 is the beginning of the series for you. 
Stepping into HL2 with no prior experience it's who am I some kind of 
celebrity or national hero; everybody knows my name.

It was enough to draw me in.  I played until I was stuck and then went 
back a few times (got a little further).

obgameExperience: Really like that pipe.  I played Rainbow 6: Raven 
Shield for 400 hours and never once scored a knife kill.
