When I bought Doom 3 I expected a typical Id blastfest and thats what I got, with tons of atmosphere and incredible graphics thrown in for good measure. I wasn't disspaointed.
With HL2 I expected an upgraded version of the first game, and again that's what I got, and again I wasn't dissapointed.
As far as graphics go I'd say Doom 3 sports the sexier engine, although the Mars setting wasn't exactly ideal to show it off. HL2 is superior only in terms of character models, I think everyone agrees that faces in particular are amazing realistic. Shame you can't shoot the ai allies though, the first game got me into the habit of shooting the scientists and security guards once they'd unlocked that progress-essential door for me.
