The much anticipated PC video game “Half-Life 2” has been just released after many delays, and I thought I’d write a match-up review against another topnotch video game “Doom 3” which was released a few months earlier and where I have reviewed that particular game on another thread.
First off both games are well-worth the money. Half-Life 2 requires even more resources than Doom 3, and takes up a whopping five gigs of hard drive space. I suggest a computer equivalent or better than my own. Currently I’m running AMD 64 bit processor, a gig of PC3200 ram, NVIDIA 6800 graphics card. Doom 3 can get by with a slightly lesser system, but not by much.
HL2 has some annoying breaks in the game where it has to load up the next section, on my system about 20 seconds. I suspect this will be alleviated somewhat with a PCI-Express Bus platform, which are starting to hit the market currently.
Both games have stunning, but very different graphics and interactions. With HL2 it is amazing how realistic water looks for example, and interactions with various objects is new advancement for a game of this type.
As far as a white nationalist is concerned, HL2 is very multi-cult. Your character is for the most part white, perhaps jewish or with some admixture. Your quasi-love interest is a mulatto female whose father is a negro scientist. Seems like every third character is a “good-natured” negro.
Doom 3 was no doubt created by whites, and they had no desire to placate to the multicultural police. Your character is a tough-looking Aryan marine. Your sergeant is a “Dolph Lundgren”-looking Aryan, complete with the dreaded blonde hair and blue eyes.
All the characters in Doom 3 are white, except for a few Asian sub characters.
Bottom line:
In my opinion Doom 3 is the superior game, mostly because the “immersion” sensation is much greater, a new level in any PC game I have yet tried out. I found the storyline more coherent and thought-out, also.
