With the right package choice, HL2 comes with several good games. So that should hold you for a good while on the PC front. The only thing wrong with HL2 is that it is of course heavily integrated into their Steam platform - to the point that you have to log onto Steam to play single player HL2. :/

As I understand it, you only have to 'activate' the game (sort of like Windows XP, or Photoshop). After that, you can play it at any time, whether you're online or not.
I thought about getting the gold package just for the HL:Source addition, but it's a bit too pricey for me right now, so I decided on the standard retail box instead. Hopefully HL:Source will be available for download in the future.

I'm pretty sure the Silver package also has HL: Source. Let me go check the differences.
*fires up Steam and waits for the obligatory update*
OK, the Silver package has all the same games as the Gold one, and its only $60. The additional $30 for Gold buys you some Valve goodies/merchandise (well to me its all junk, but some people dig this shit).
Oh also, having purchased retail HL2 in a store, I can't recommend you do the same. The standard box only includes HL2 and CS: Source. Get it off Steam, if you want a CD make your own. The DVD/CD editions are also irritating because they demand a disc to play CS: Source. There may eventually be a way around it. Maybe Daemon Tools will support it in a new version, although that's not really a solution to me :/
I've been told I can just upgrade and get HL: Source and DOD: Source later, but I haven't had the cash to test that theory yet. I can tell you that CS:S is just more of the same with new models and pretty textures. I'll probably be sick of getting shot in the head within the week. But HL2 is pretty fun.

Haven't played it yet. I plan to buy it when I can get it for less than $20. I just bought Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for $14 at Wal-Mart.
However, my store did get copies in for rental. Two of them went out the day we got it, and came back the same day, already beaten. Not a single person who has rented it has kept it the full week time period. One of my regulars brought it back in THREE AND A HALF HOURS, saying he'd already beaten it. So unless you're hooked on Online MP, I'd say don't bother.

Maybe he didn't realize it has a single player. He played it on Live for 3 hours and 20 minutes, and finally, he managed to avoid getting his butt totally whooped. He then declared victory and returned the game before he further embarrassed himself.
