Hmm. I never played any of the Half-Life games. Would this be worth a shot ?

That good, eh ? Time to go shopping on Steam. Since HL1 is way too dated by now: Will it be hard to get into the storyline of HL2 having never played HL1 ?

Nah, I played HL1 after doing all HL2 + EP1 + EP2. Doesn't make the story hard to understand at all. Make sure you buy HL1: Source though, great game. Great series.

Wait for Black Mesa to come out. It's a complete redesign of Half Life 1 with up-to-date graphics (you'll need HL2 to play it).
Then use the Cinematic Mod to play Half Life 2 and the episodes.

HL2 is so moddable that recent IQ mods make it look as good as 2010 games.

I think I'll pass on that. HL2 is something I can play now, and I need a game. The fourth run of Mass Effect 2 is still full of awesome, but I'd like to do something else before I go in for the fifth.
