I played Doom 3 when it was new and was disappointed. I ended up putting it down partway through. That was only a couple years after I had originally finished Deus Ex 1, though, which ruined conventional plotless FPS games for me 😀
The problem with iD games is that they're really just demos for their FPS engines. They just crap something out that looks pretty so that people will want to license it from them to make other FPS games. Epic does the same thing with their FPS engines. Valve does too, but they have enough pride to use their own engine (Source) for lots of in-house projects (HL2 + episodes, Portal series, L4D series, TF2, etc.).
I keep meaning to try Riddick, but it still ran a bit sluggish on my Core 2 Duo + nVidia 8700M GT SLI laptop when I tried it last year or so. I also wasn't liking the first boss fight a lot. It's on the to-do list for trying on my Core i7 + AMD Radeon HD5870 desktop.
