Doom 3 vs. Half Life 2

Posted by Zonk on from the city-17-has-more-oxygen-than-mars dept.

Thanks to Laurie W, who writes "Sudhain.com has a great comparison of D3 vs. HL2 (funny, too)." From the article: "Since Half Life 2 was released this week, I thought it'd make a good time to take the two games head to head and see which came out on top. I've spent a few hours in the beginning of each, playing through the first few levels. Although I haven't completed either, I've spent enough time in each (I think) to develop a feel for what the later sections of each game will be like. Given that each has been fairly consistent thus far, it'd take a major shift for my opinion of either to change significantly."

    I went to see these two new films that are supposed to be really good, except I didn't stay to the end of either. But there probably exactly the same all the way through anyway. Anyone want to read my review?

    Jeez, even school kids can make up the excuse that their printer ran out of ink so they only have half their work done.

    Parent is not a troll. No reviewer who has failed to do the courtesy to the author(s) of finishing a game, book, movie, etc. should be taken seriously.

    Note: one of the reasons game "journalism" is such crap is that it's built on hype that begins even before the game's released, usually based on the slightest sample of the forthcoming game ("XYZ looks like a real winner from what we've seen").
