Not really. Good games are good games. I loved Lemmings and the  
Lucasarts adventures (Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, Loom, The Dig...)  
as much as San Andreas and GTA4 (and Half Life, Far Cry, Deus Ex...).

Portal I'm meaning to get to, but I have a pile of unplayed games  
right now, bizarrely - Psychonauts, Prey, Pathologic, Burnout  
Paradise, Tomb Raider Anniversary and about half of GTA4 need playing...
