Yeah, they're both really fun. I played oblivion so much before I even GOT a 360. I played it on my brothers, and bought Shivering Isles day one.
'Twas amazing.

Also I bought the Orange Box on a whim in December, but didn't play it until now. Half Life is a shit-ton of fun but can someone explain why so many people think it's the height of video gaming? Maybe it's because I never played the first one but the gameplay seems to consist of a lot of shooting, puzzles, and riding vehicles with no real consequences because I don't know the characters, plot, or universe really, cause they were never explained to me. But like I said it is ridiculously fun and I plan on playing both of the other episodes later on down the road.

Mass Effect 3 is also a must buy.
Half Life has been a fan favorite because of the atmosphere it puts you in. The story is top-notch if you pay attention through the first and second games (and the episodes) and it's one of the few series that actually gets better as it goes on. Valve has stayed true to what the game has been about. It's often highly-regarded as one of the best games ever by plenty of people, players and critics alike. I happen to agree with them. It's one of the only games that I've actually felt like I cared about the actual characters. And that rarely ever happens with me. I'm patiently waiting for Episode 3. Valve delays projects all the time, and, so far, everything they delay ends up top notch. They like to make sure their games are finished before putting them out.

G-Man is what he's called, I believe.
