crysis or bioshock??

I am trying to get back into computer games now that I have a new computer. I was wondering which game would be better: Crysis or Bioshock? Both seem like games that I would enjoy, but I do not want to get both. Also, according to systemrequirementslab.com I have the minimum requirements for video RAM for Bioshock, but not the recommended requirements (everything else I have the recommended), but for Crysis it says the minimum RAM is 256, yet I only have 246. It says I still pass this, but how could that be? Well, regardless, assuming my cpu can play both games which I guess I can according to systemrequirementslab.com, which should I get??? Thanks.medhopeful

You only have 246mb of RAM? Do you mean the video card memory? Because you aren't going to run much of anything if that's how little RAM you have :P

Yeah, for the video card I have 246 mb...i think the cpu has like 3.0 gigs RAM. And to the person who suggest COD4, I am already planning on getting that for ps3.

Aaah, ok, that's what I thought :)

I'd have to say Bioshock, if only because it'll play better and run smoother on your computer while Crysis is a hog of a game that brings even my powerful computer to its knees at times.

They're both great though, so either way you can't go wrong.

I found Bioshock better in every possible way.

Now, it all comes down to what kind of game you prefer of course. Bioshock is more of a slower pace game, in which you explore as much as you fight, while Crysis in an all out action FPS.

Storywise, Crysis is so bad it's hilarious, while Bioshock has a pretty interesting and engaging plot with a well written script and a very cool twist towards the end of the game, so no contest here.

Graphically, Crysis is impressive on the absolute latest SLI setup, but for the common gamer Bioshock will look miles better.

Whaaat? I didn't even know you could have 246 vram. :| I've always thought it was 128. 256 512 and so on.. I've seen cards with 320 but never 246 o,O

I loved both games. They were both excellent, though, Bioshock's story is much better than Crysis'.

Why not get both? :P

Crysis for me. If you can run it!

I thought Bioshock was pretty boring and an average game.
