HL2 - Yes the splatter is good
Doom III - Yes the splatter is better.
I however am a hard hearted person the SIMS while so many people love it is shite. I've played it because I like computer games, its genuine shite. All you do is the same boring things again and again against different backgrounds. And with SIMs 2 they made the requirements stupidly high for whats basically Syndicate without the guns. Damnit Syndicate was good, you led around a group of people and shot stuff.
