DI if you prefer to play some grind FPS with nice views and little rpg system. If you like it there is real DI 2 called Riptide (Dead Island 1.5 in fact).
HL2 has more oldschool playstyle and better story. And of course there are addons (Episode 1 and 2) but you must keep in mind that the whole story is just unfinished and abandoned by Valve...
In my opinion DI is better but this game is about: traveling semi-open world, making progress and build your character.
On the other hand HL2 is just plain traditional fps with narrow linear levels, good story and stylish design.
I suggest you to wait few days, Easter Sale is coming, then both games should appear with better price and who knows, maybe you will buy both. :)
Also upcoming DI 2 is a brand new game made by new developers, if you looking for real Dead Island successor you will find it in the Dying Light.

Half- Life 2 is a much better game. I've had tons of fun with it and I couldn't finish Dead Island (I love Dying Light though).
The only scenario where DI has an advantage over HL2 is if you have some friends to coop with. Coop with people you know can turn even a mediocre game into something great!

None, buy fortix that is much better than these two games.

If you have friends to play with, go for Dead Island. If you don't, go for Half Life 2!

Save money and buy both
Uriel's Chasm and Bad Rats. Win-Win.

I know both half life 2 and dead island pc games are both completely different. I also know that dead island 2 is coming out pretty soon and that half life 2 just got a new "remodeling." But, I don't know which one to buy...I can only buy one of the 2 games ( I have a mac ). Help!!
(If I choose dead island I will buy it from G2A .com for 5 bucks)
