I actually find a lot of Valve games suffer from really bad pacing. Half Life, HL2, Episode 1 (my God, that game was a drag), Portal 2 (the middle section of that game completely slumps) and even Portal 1. Even though it only lasts about 90 minutes I thought the test chambers before the final two or three should have been longer or more challenging. Most of them can literally be worked out and even completed in about 30 to 60 seconds.
I do really like Valve on the whole, but they're not without fault.
