Not bad work.
One of the best games I've ever played.

Even for its day the graphics were a bit dated, but it didn't matter.
I think the last time I played it was about 6 years ago, but it was still good.

Definitely Valve is pretty good on sticking with an engine that works on a wide range of hardware and looks pretty decent too. I'm not so sure I want a L4D3 though I think that game has jumped the shark unless they drastically change the gameplay and many other elements.
I've got a bad feeling about this.....

Indeed. I'm glad to hear they'll stick with the same engine. Great performance and visuals on my lower end machines.

I played and loved Half Life. I have a confession though. I have never played HL2 despite the fact that the orange box is sitting in my CD rack on my computer desk. I will have to rectify that!

Half Life 2 and the two Episodes are worth your time, if you enjoyed the original. From HL2 onward, you can tell they feel the pressure to build up the new characters, whereas the loner feeling in the original Half Life was the key to it's haunt.
The weakest link is HL2: Episode One, but only by a bit IMO. It decently bridges the gap directly into the FANTASTIC HL2: Episode Two. Some incredibly vivid moments in Episode Two.

I heard it was great. I'm just spending most of available gaming time with tactical sims. I used to be big FPS'er though.
