Like HL2?

Yes, but I already bought that game back then.

Me too. At least I got it for like 2$ on the steam summer sale.

I bought it from a local retail store when this game just came out. Worth it.
Even better was The Orange Box in a few years later.

The Orange Box was such an awesome value. I mean, let's face it: most
of us probably bought it for "Episode Two" alone, and we would have
been fine with it. As far as I can remember, the Orange Box wasn't
going for 'full price' at the time, but was slightly less. No
surprise; it was an expansion and not a full game? And "Episode Two"
was worth that price. Anything extra, well, who really cared about
those?

Until, you know, you actually fired up "Portal" and "Team Fortress 2"
and saw the quality of both of those products. Then you looked at the
Orange Box and realized what a good deal you were getting.
