Recently picked this up having never got around to playing the games myself, but have heard many good things about them.

I was not aware there were more than 2 games and I would like to play through the games story wise.

Do they follow on apart from 1 & 2? Are Blue Shift and Opposing Forces related to the many game's story line etc. Would love it if someone could give me a list of which order to play them in.

Thank you.

Thanks. Is it worth playing them in this order then? What about Deathmatch ( I assume this is possibly Multiplayer ) and lost coast?

Lost Coast is more of a tech demo, not an actual game, though you get to kill some enemies.

Well all the HL 1 games are very related to themselves, as well as the HL2 games.

BS takes place at the same time and place as original, but from a different perspective.
OF is around the same time as well, and around the general locations, and it shares some of the same exact places, but is more tangential.

Episode 1 and 2 of HL 2 are directly continuing the story.

HL 2 has the same protagonist as HL 1, but it is years later.

Lost Coast is a neat short tech demo. The tech is really not all that impressive, but it is more HL2 gameplay.
