I got The Orange Box back when it was cheap a while back (last year I think), but never did finish Portal or Half-Life 2, so I never installed the two Half-Life 2 sequel/addon episodes... never installed or played Teamfortress 2 either, but I was never planning on playing that anyway.
Considering how little I paid though and how good those games are it certainly was worth getting, even if I didn't play them all that much. That probably has as much to do with their genre and how many games I have as anything else... I should go back and finish them sometime though, they're obviously really good.
On that note, I've owned Half-Life 1 on Steam for over a year now (since when it was on sale for $0.98 for the 10th anniversary of its release), and yet haven't really played it much... just the first few levels...
I mean, the only FPSes I have ever finished are Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, its expansion pack Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith, Star Trek: Voyager: Elite Force and its cleverly titled expansion pack Star Trek: Voyager: Elite Force Expansion Pack (though perhaps this shouldn't count, I don't know if I beat the garden mission... beat the other ones though.), Return to Castle Wolfenstein, ... um, that might be it. Oh right, on consoles Perfect Dark (agent and all of the missions except for the last one on Special Agent), Goldeneye (Agent only), and SNES Doom (default difficulty). That's it though.
