Half Life 2,
But please play HL1 beforehand, it's story based.

In my opinion it would be Portal, it's just such a great series.
Postal, not portal.
Get HL2. I might thing the game is HIGHLY overrated, but technically it is very VERY good.

And the postal games are just trash.

I can only speak for HL2. First of all I would say give HL2 a miss if you haven't played HL1, even though the two games are very loose in connections, it still helps to know what happend prior to HL2.

HL2 is kind of a mid point between a oldschool shooter (Doom, Quake) and a modern shooter (Bioshock, Metro) It offers pretty good gunplay, interesting and varied levels, and a campaign experience that feels more adventure like than shooter like. The main things i didn't like about HL2 were the vehicle sections which lasted too long and it's story felt a little too light hearted and cheesy in some places. I personally didn't like HL2 as much as HL1 but it is still a pretty solid shooter campaign imo, and is worth checking out at some point.

Also HL2 does have a sort of demo called Lost Coast, which will give you a feel on what the combat is like as well as a taste of what the "puzzles" are like.

Hl2 would be not so great for me ( censored version )

Postal 2 however was really fun to play :PZ4:

postal 2 is a very fun game but if you want a game with a real story id say half life 2

Maybe Postal 2. Only thing it lacks is story mode multiplayer though. Think there is a workshop mod that adds that though.

Do you want to overcome an alien empire that took over and slowly killing Earth for twenty years (and get stuck with a cliffhanger because Valve said "♥♥♥♥ you, no episode 3 ♥♥♥♥♥") or do you want to play as a sociopath who tries to live a normal life doing his errands for his wife but ultimately fails doing so?

If done right though during the first 5 day's of Postal 2 you can win without killing anyone. By doing that you make the whole town look like it is filled with sociopaths.
