Half life 2 works OK on my Intel HD4000. The only bugs are graphical glitches, and they're not very noticable. (Keep in mind that Half Life and Half-Life 2 use completely different game engines; one's bugs don't necessarily translate to the other.)

Yes, but that doesn't mean there won't be bugs in HL2. And Valve not fixing HL1 before releasing HL2 doesn't bode well.

You should try HL1, most of the bugs are just visuals and don't affect gameplay. I've played the game and it never crashed.

It hasn't crashed for me either, but I cannot complete it until they fix lambda core. That's a show-stopper for me.

I wonder if the Black Mesa mod works instead.
