Portal wasn't too repetitive, but it only lasts about 2 hours tops.

Half Life 2, Episode 1, and Episode 2 were all the same. Very repetitive. Come on, you run, come to a blocked exit, have to go find the power to unlock it, then go all the way back to your main path. Regardless of if you're in a car, air boat or on foot. It was the same thing in each part of the level. It had a pattern that I caught onto very quickly.....And it only lasted about 12 hours for the whole Orange Box experience.
In HL2 there are driving sequences, parts where you're going through a ghost town on the rooftops avoiding certain doom, and hell... there's even a part where you're fending off zombies in the dark (with only a few flares for illumination) while your partner fixes an elevator. The gravity gun makes for some easy but inventive puzzles and the physics allow you to be very creative with the way you dispatch your enemies. I can't think of many FPS games that don't usher you from point A to point B...

Been playing Burnout Paradise a good deal. gorgeous visuals, huge map, tons of cars that move at absurd speeds. its a fun game.
I miss the crash mode from the other games, trying to earn medals by causing insane amounts of damage was the best.
