Back in the day, the games were ground breaking. Valve used them to push the limits of games and what they were capable of. Half Life 2 for example was really big on showcasing physics and how they operated.

But aside from that, for a lot of us growing up, it was one of the best sci-fi titles in all of gaming, and that stuck with us. It's still one of my favorite series of all time.
