Opinions are opinions (everybodies got one, few know the dictionary definition) - then there's the majority vote and critical view.
The majority vote and critical view says the Half Life series of games represent just about best FPS ever overall.
You don't have to agree - but of course that puts you in the minority.
Halo is an extremely good FPS IMO - but overall not quite as good as Half Life universe.
Example of proof of critical view - Orange Box scores higher than Halo 3 on Metacritic (just as one example) for 360 - and not just because there's more in the package.
Personally I thought Half Life 2 was good but feel the Episodes (while a lot of fun) haven't quite hung together as well. Portal IMO is the best game this year although it will never win GOTY (although I note the number of critics who mention in blogs, etc. that they all know it should be). The reason is innovation and essentially perfection. Portal is the first game in a long time I've played where I though there are just no flaws. The experience is 100% perfect for the concept - although of course its a concept not everyone will like.
Hell, even the closing credits in Portal crush every other games credits I've ever seen (although Flow comes close with its innovative credits also).
