The Half-Life universe encompasses everything related to the Half-Life series created by Valve. This includes not just the Half-Life series, but also anything related to Portal, Team Fortress, Counter-Strike, and a couple other releated franchises.
My first foray into Half-Life was from a the original game shortly after the sequel was released. I had heard a lot of fanfare from my friends, so I decided to take a look at the original. Although I didn't play it until years after the original was released, I was still very impressed by the game, enough to continue playing through most of the sequels and expansions.
Unfortunately, it seems Valve is no longer interested in making games, and refuses to outsource their IP to other developers, so the Half-Life series hasn't seen a new release since 2007. Other related franchises haven't seen releases in several years as well.
