I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think any non-Valve games use the Half-Life engine per se. Of course the Half-Life engine is a heavily modified Quake engine with bits of Quake 2 code as well, so any game that uses the Quake engine is somewhat related to Half-Life. Currently, there are no games other than Half-Life 2 and its mods that use the Source engine, though.

EDIT: This might help (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Familytree11.png)

Wrong about Bloodlines, actually. It uses the Havok physics engine - like a lot of other games - but that's different from the Source graphics engine.
