Half-Life was awesome. Heavy Rain had problems and Red Dead Redemption may have just been GTA with horses but it was super pretty and fun too. If you're not having fun with these games then you just aren't trying.
I agree that the lack of a Half-Life 3 is worthy of a tribunal but at the same time, if I won the lottery I'd quit my job too and Gabe is too busy lighting his cubans with benjamins to make HL3.
