A lot of stuff with Half-Life is found in the game world. For example, that new scientist in Episode 2 seems random, but then he gives a clue later on about who he is. He's the generic scientist in Half-Life who is angry when you blow up his meal in the microwave early in the game.
Actually when it comes to story, I feel that Episode 2 has done the best. While you're really left in the dark with the major things (I'd still find that knowing at least something about the g-man is better than NOTHING), I liked the storyline through Episode 2.
As for your allies in Half-Life 2, they're troublesome in tight spaces, but the best way to avoid that is to order them away from the door or wherever you want to go and then you can move in a short time before they will start following you again.
In the end, I have to agree with Ben. The Half-Life games are better on the PC and I had the most difficult time trying to play any of the Orange Box on my PS3 when I rented it and it felt like I was reunited with a long lost friend once I was able to play it on the PC on Christmas. Team Fortress 2 and Portal are probably the worst games on a controller in my opinion. Portal was tough because you have to be able to make a quick look to throw a portal in the short time you're airborne before your view is readjusted for gravity. With TF2, I felt like my favorite class (sniper) was almost worthless on a controller and it's hard to play the game in the way that is similar to TFC.
