Would have been TF2, but on the Xbox 360 it is hack city, so I prefer to stay away from it.
OT: Half Life 2

TF2. Not that there's anything wrong with the other single-player games, but TF2 just gets the most-hours-of-fun prize.
I love the top left corner, it's so pointy. Jokes aside I'm gonna roll with Episode 2, one of my favourite Half Life games after OppFor.
Actually the 360 version had an update a while back which (among other things) made modding games much more difficult. Low gravity / friendly fire games are (mostly) a thing of the past now.Mrsnugglesworth said:
Oh really? I should try getting back into it now then. It really was fun, but having every other game being a Hacked on was just bothering me.Antiparticle said:
Half-Life 2, since I don't like TF2 that much and Portal is rather short. Although Portal is a close second.
And HL2 spawned my all-time favorite mod, as well.

Portal, most definitly. Not that the others arn't great, but Portal is one of those games I play every few months to remind me why I love video games.
Yep. People on the 360 TF2 forums say modding is still possible if you really know how, but it's now much harder to do so much less rampant than before. And if you want to be 100% sure you're joining a fair game you can always join the server of someone reliable, such as me! I host a game or two of TF2 almost every evening. ('evening' European time that is.)Mrsnugglesworth said:
Portal was the most fun for me (imo think it was just the right length), followed by Half Life 2 and then Team Fortress 2.
I picked Half-Life 2 Episode 2 without thinking it through.
Well I think Episode 2 improves on the Half-Life series by adding more open and interesting environments with keeping its great artistic style.
But overall Half-life 2 is better. Y'know why? Because it lasts longer than 4 hours, therefore I have better memories of it.
And that's one of the many reasons why episodic gaming fails, because the games are not long enough to stand up on their own merits, and Half-Life 2, the father of them all, will always be the one remembered most.
Portal was great too obviously. Team Fortress I haven't played. I never bought The Orange Box, I just bought those games individually. TF2 doesn't interest me a whole lot and I remember playing one of those 'free weekends' of it on steam and not enjoying it that much. But I'm not a multiplayer person.
I'll probably pick up TF2 when it's on sale on steam, ridiculously cheap.

You're not alone. I prefer Left 4 Dead to Valve's other games, but overall, I just don't think they live up to the hype...Tootmania said:
Anyways, on topic, I enjoyed Portal most, with Team Fortress 2 in second. I enjoyed Half Life 2 (I only got up to Episode 1, if I remember correctly), just not as much as the other games on there.
