Half-Life is good fun, and the graphics are scarily good considering it's five years old. (OTOH, Halo 2, which I saw on my brother's X-box over Xmas, is mind-bogglingly pretty.)
For me, the relative ease of avoiding distractions in work time seems to depend a lot on the degree of interest I have in and how well I understand the task at hand; I have already figured out that I can help myself in the latter case by dumping more state to paper throughout a session, so I can pick it back up more easily later.
