I think everything there except GTAIV and The Orange Box deserve to be there (GTA4 is infamously overrated, and Orange Box was an overrated FPS, two overrated expansions to the FPS, a great multiplayer shooter which is now free, and a two-hour long puzzle game).

EDIT: I would replace them with Assassin's Creed II and Arkham City.

Now that is just blasphemy! Orange Box was one of the best gaming deals at the time. It was the best FPS of all time, two great expansions to it, a great multiplayer shooter that has been great for years and an innovative puzzle game (took me around 3-4 hours I think).

My opinion of Half Life 2 may well be damaged by the fact that I played it seven years after release, but Orange Box was three years after it came out anyway. By that point, honestly, it was pretty generic and far less polished than most FPS out there. Maybe it was revolutionary in 2004.

I do like Team Fortress 2 and Portal very much, but both have been free (and TF2 still is free), and Portal is not long at all.
