edit: Side note I find it interesting that TF2 is winning this poll. Back in it's day HLDM, CS 1.6, and TFC pretty much monopolized online FPS gaming. It was ridiculous how popular they were, especially CS.

Even though the old valve games may have had a larger percentage of the PC gamers back then, that doesn't mean they're better than the new games. People just have a lot more decent options these days, whereas back then shooters were just finding their stride in multiplayer.

I loved Half-Life 2, it's a really engaging game, Episode 1 wasn't all that special but Episode 2 was pretty amazing.

Portal.

I hate Counterstrike
HL2 is good
Never tried Day of Defeat or Team Fortress
Lefr 4 Dead is extremely disappointing.

Probably Portal.
Its short, but its one wild ride while it lasts!
Just like Full Throttle.
Also like Full Throttle, we will not see a successor for many years.
