Simple question.....or is it? Which one do you see as a better game, DOOM 3 or Half-life 2?

Both better be good
Half Life 2 will be actually incredible to play, Doom 3 probably quite good but much better looks-wise, and so less of a decent game.
Simple question, Simple answer HL2
I bet neither game will last REAL long like a week to complete if you're playing it pretty much non stop like from 4-12 every day. (4 - 12 being general playing times after school/work).
And then you'll get the geeks that book a day off work just to stay home and play it and complete it too soon and spoil it for the rest of us by telling the ending.

Well, I've played both demos on a lightning fast machine. I've seen them "in the flesh" as it were.
Half Life 2's facial animations are astounding, but the general engine is designed to provide an open environment with indoor areas. Doom3 is a continuation of the original Doom and Quake engines and is more suited to enclosed environments, so more processing power can be spent on dynamic lighting and the like.
Shoot a hanging florescent light in Doom3, and the way the shadows are dynamically cast is astounding. The pinkie demon bends the pipes in the wall, before busting through. Watch it tussle with a dead zombie like a terrier with a rat. All the time, a light is slowly swinging above it, casting shadows in real time.
Half life 2 – The Striders. Say no more. Independent legs, and incredible AI.
Both engines are a massive step forward for gaming. Half-life 2’s more so due to the fully integrated physics and AI. Doom3 for the graphical achievements and object orientated environment.
Half life 2 will wipe the floor with Doom3 gameplay wise. Doom3 IMHO is a graphical masterpiece, but the gameplay is not as innovative.

Having played both E3, Doom3 wins hand down with the GFX, but Half Life 2 is going to be the better game, although possibly less atmospheric.
Half Life is garanteed to be good but although doom 3 looks good it doesn't mean it will play good, get half life.
