Are you the type of person that likes yearly updates of Need for Speed?
No, I can't say I've ever played need for speed. Or any game that has yearly updates really.

Half Life 2, Episode 1 and 2 are all awesome surely? Portal is quirky and cool, and TF2 is really good fun! Pity I bought this on Steam only a couple of weeks ago when it was 30 quid >.<
Portal is great.
TF2 is average. It's fun when you can get a nice server and it's probably fun with friends. But with most of the public servers it's just not terribly good. Partly that's due to some frustrating design decisions (the last control points on well and granary are all but undefendable) and partly it's due to the lack of any sort of balance mechanism, it's not uncommon to see a quarter of the team as snipers or five games in a row won by one side. It's still playable and it makes a nice break but it's not the sort of game you can really get into.
Half Life 2? I never saw what was cool about it. It's a standard FPS with the occasional good bit but which generally just seemed contrived and predictable. The combat isn't anything special and the gravity gun is mostly just a gun that fires random projectiles. I should add that I played this for the first time back in november when I got the orange box.
As I acknowledged in my post though, this is the better deal if you use Quidco.
