Blue shift? Opposing forces? Get em!
I must be the only person ever that really didn't like HL2, got it as part of the Orange Box years ago, tried to play it and could only just stomach about 3 hours before I succumbed to massive boredom. I still haven't finished it to this day, and never even installed Eps 1 and 2.
But I am the odd one out, so I say play it.

That's you, isn't it?
Anyway, yeah, 'tis good, but I don't think it was as awesome as the original. I really hated the fact that you didn't have a *real* rifle, something I loved in the original (I don't count the combine one, it's "special"). Some of the achievements are truly rage-inducing (Never did get that gnome into space...).
@compboyo - Whatever you are currently doing, stop it. Instead, go and buy either portal, or the orange box, then install portal. Do nothing else until this has been done. Your video gamer life is currently incomplete, you should seek to rectify this asap.
2 is good and technically better in every way, but it's not as much fun.
