Okay so, here we go, for all the time I've been gaming PC I actually haven't ever played HL2 and of course neither Episode 1 and 2

Dont hit me!

But is it worth getting?
I can get the orange box for what should be about 23 USD or 17 EURO tho' I already have TF2 and Portal

I would say yes, since they're phenomenal games that don't even look particularly dated yet.

likely yes. Mind you I thought the first HL was far better then the sequal.

There are some rumblings that EP 3 might come out this year, and if it does, you might wait and buy the bundle with hl2 + episodes, I think it will have best value...

Missing HL2 completely is a shame tho...

Oh and the Orange box is cheap now :P

Get the Orange Box. You'll get Half-Life 2 and its episodes all together for a cheap price.

Is Aliens worth watching now?

Definitely, by all means, get the Orange Box. The Half-Life 2 series is absolutely phenomenal, and all the games have aged quite well, both visually and gameplay-wise.

If you don't have any valve games, you may want to look into the Valve Complete Package on Steam. Its $99 but it contains 22 games.

Not by itself, I didn't like it too much, but I got it with the Orange Box, and I loved Portal and Team Fortress, so go get the Orange Box.

Get The Orange Box even though you already have portal and TF2 because if you got HL2 and the episodes separately it would cost more then the orange box would and with the orange box you would get an extra copy of Portal and TF2 that you can give to someone else that has a steam account.

If anything, you have to get the Orange Box as others have already mentioned. HL2, plus the two episodes make it a steal. One of the best purchases I have made over the last couple of years.
