Half-Life vs Half-Life 2: No comparison?

Comparing old games to new ones is a tricky business. On the one hand if you compare Doom to Doom III nowadays, well, there is no comparison. Doom is fairly 2D to the modern gamer in many more ways than just the graphics. However if you compare the two in the far more existential realms of impact on the industry and on individual gamers, Doom the First would probably come up trumps.

I'm normally not into all this nostalgia, "Remember the good old days of..." These days Doom isn't really all that fun, we've moved on from the Commodore 64 and just about the only "old" games worth playing are the timeless likes of Civilization II. Even then you have to be graphically patient.
