Take control of MIT graduate and Theorotical Physicist Gordon Freeman and help him defeat the alien invaders from Xen. Or take control of Colonel Adrian Shepard and help him silence Black Mesa and destroy aliens. When you're done with that, be security guard Barney Calhoun and just survive against all these nasty aliens roaming around the research center. When you're done with all that, hop online for one of the best online shooters ever, Team Fortress Classic.

ok, I finally caved in and picked up Half Life 2 for the Xbox.

Excellent game to pick and start playing.  Half Life 2 is one of the greatest games I've played.  I enjoyed it from beginning to end.

Go play the first game (and the expansions) before 2.

I enjoyed Half-Life 1 much more than 2. Where 2 slingshots you all over the damn place, 1 instills that feeling of, "oh shit I'm trapped in a giant research facility where there be monsters." In both games there is constant forward motion, but it works so much better in 1, as you climb out of Black Mesa and find, oh shit, that the army has arrived to fuck you up and, oh hell, you have to go BACK IN to Black Mesa. Genius gameplay, oh I love it, might have to reinstall.
