Half-Life (especially 2) does do a great job of the narrative. They leave you in that first person the whole time making you feel as if you are Gordan Freeman, and leave you bewildered the whole time while everyone else seems to understand everything that's going on and acts as if you should when Gordan doesn't.

And despite that a lot of HL2's environment's seemed a bit brown, to seem dingy, it fit really well with the story.

And to top it off, Ravenholm was creepy as all get-out like it was spoken of by the characters.
