The Half-Life series isn't particurly innovative either but they're outstanding games.

I disagree here. The first Half-Life was very innovatif, it is the first FPS which used scripted events as we know them today and was also the first FPS with an original and brilliant story.

It actually isn't, in fact it's mostly refines ideas that have been done before. Scripted storytelling sequences told entirely through a first-person perspective has been done before in; Unreal, System Shock, and Trespasser. The story wasn't particalurly original or well written, it was basically a bare bones re-telling of Doom's story which has basically a re-telling of the Stephen King novella The Myst. However, they were the story was told was brilliantly and far better executed than the previous first-person shooters I've mentioned. System Shock however, had a far superior storyline.
