The tittle says it all. Which should I save my money on? I played the demo for Risen and was quite impressed with it.

Well no one has played Mass Effect 2. I think it will be awesome. Though there is always a chance it will be terrible. The incredibly high hype always scares me when I'm purchasing a game. I didn't exactly like mass effect 1 a lot but it was a good game.
I didn't enjoy the original ME all that much and won't be getting it until it hits the bargain bin in a year or so. Risen was alright, had some bugs and wasn't as interesting at the Gothic series but still overall a good game. If you enjoyed the Risen demo then you'll enjoy the full game and the only way I'd recommended ME2 over it is if you loved ME1.

I found ME1 to be ok but not great. Gothic series are indeed awesome already.
I wan't a big fan of ME so most probably will be skipping it. I have already bought risen, haven't had a chance to play it a lot, but from what I played, it seems to be decent.
Well, if you didn't like Mass Effect, then ME2 probably won't change your mind. ME2 seems like it's more of the same, which for me is A VERY GOOD THING. It's just a sequel to carry the story further.

Having played the Risen demo, and playing the original ME, I would go for ME2. It seems to me that ME2 will be better. But who knows, and of course everyone's taste is different.
Of course I haven't played Mass Effect 2 but comparing Mass Effect to Risen I much prefer Risen. I actually prefer Risen to Dragon Age: Origins, it's my RPG of 2009. Honestly though you can't go wrong with either, but personally I say grab yourself a copy of Risen.
Risen is definitely the most underrated game of the year and much better then it appears to be. You want a game that doesnt hold your hand with interactive combat, storyline with alot of quests and side quests, this is the game to get.
