Rattling off titles is nice, but what's nicer is knowing what is so good about them, as in what was it about those particular games you liked? Was there anything you didn't like about them?
Let's take Bioshock for example. Here's a review I found on Amazon just a few seconds ago...

I'd have to say, one of the best games in a long time. Great story, great features, weapons, enemies...yada yada yada. The game itself is amazing. UNFORTUNATELY, the game is written so poorly or was rushed or whatever, but it crashes like you wouldn't believe. You can have a fully loaded system, and it still finds a way to crash. I have Windows Vista Ultimate (no, that's not the problem), 2GB of DDR2-6400 RAM, Nvidia 7900GT, Tons of SATA Drives, onboard HD sound...etc. All the latest in DirectX and RealTek audio drivers, and still no luck. It's probably crashed 30 times in the first week of playing the game. Yes, there are people out there who are lucky, but it's rare. Just check out the 2k forums and other blogs/websites, and you'll see pages of complaints. Some people recommend lowering the resolution, some say the sound... nothing works. Imagine having to lower the graphics quality down lower, and the detail lower, to play a PC game in 2007 with PCs that are well-equipped for the current software? Joke and a half. They'd better come out with a patch or fix soon. Very disappointing!

Now as for Orange Box.... there are a ton of good reviews
here, but there are also a high percentage of one-star reviews, mostly to do with the "STEAM" issue and how so many people despise it. Tell me why anyone should buy this game.
