Speaking of the old times
I honestly enjoyed The original Half-Life Single Player scenario !
not only because I like Sci-fi , but because the plot started from a relatively realistic point , which is in some way related to nowadays political and technological standards (except the teleportation thing of course).
It all started when some scientist dude(freeman) was brought to a Top secret US a military base in the middle of Nowhere , which coincidently reminds you of Area 51(LOL).........
I think that was the most important thing about HL , The Story !! ......rather than just being another kick-ass graphic shooting game , HL combined Political Conspiracy theories with (till that time) Un-seen Suspence-inducing cinematic gameplay and of course mixed all together with a huge load of Sci-Fi Action
That was/Is the receipt for Success!
