fps head-to-head

Doom 3 compared and contrasted with Half-life 2
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.

Doom 3 HL2 style
Basically I wanted to see what HL2 type maps might look in Doom 3. I only got the textures from HL2 and I haven't spent THAT much time on the map (only a few rooms) because it'd be a waste of time doing a whole map that you won't release.

Adrenaline Vault’s Bob Mandel wonders if the push for realistic graphics has obscured gameplay. D’ya think? Hmm?

“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well?
