Valve has a Steam & Game Stats site with fantastic infographics that may be more interesting than the games themselves — to people like me, at least.
For example, there's a hardware survey that shows Intel, nVidia, and Realtek leading in their respective hardware categories, among the users sampled. I also learned that a majority of the users of the service have monitor refresh rates of 60 Hz, about a fifth of users have HyperThreading enabled, and 6.43% have over 250 GB of free hard disk space.
The coolest, though, are the Half-Life 2: Episode 2 Death Maps that show where players died most often in each map.

It's been a long time since I updated. I usually update once a year, but I
missed the mark. I figured I should update before everything goes to zero....

Valve probably did it first and Bungie has followed. I don't know about Halo 2 since I didn't play it online but for Halo 3 on the Bungie Network for every game you play online loads of stats are recorded and viewable including selectable views, called Heat Maps, of where every player died "Deaths by" and where every player killed another player "kills with" per weapon type or by all weapon types. The detailed data is only viewable by the game participants I think.
But some game data is viewable by anyone at Bungie Network Online Halo 3 including global heat maps.
