Hey guys and gals,

Quick question, which of these two games would you reccommend for PS3 and why one over the other?

I'm considering buying Bioshock and renting Fallout 3 ... are both worth a purchase? For those of you that played both which did you like more?

Thanks.

If I were you I'd rent Bioshock and buy Fallout 3 rather than the other way around. Fallout 3 is a big game, there's no way you'd see everything the game has to offer within the rental period.

They're both great games, but Bioshock would be a better choice in my opinion.

Both are good in their own way, Bioshock if you'd like a general action shooter, Fallout 3 to add a little role-playing to the recipe, take it like Oblivion with guns.

Your choice.

Depends if you like FPS or role-playing. I say Bioshock.

hmm..thats a hard choice..personally i think bioshock was more fun, but its only about 8 hours long..fallout 3 is also an excellent game, not as fun as bioshock, but still very fun and it has over 100 gameplay hours..personally id pick bioshock because its 1 of my favorite games, but if u dont think that an 8 hour long game is worth your money get fallout 3. if u can u REALLY REALLY (REALLY!!!!!!!!) should get both.

If you can find Bioshock cheap, I would get it. I got it when it was on sale for $20 a couple of months ago. It was well worth the money. Fallout 3 is good and has many things to do in the big world they give you.

Loved both. I would rent Bio and buy Fallout 3. I play Fallout on my 360, and even without the DLC it's a massive game. Bio isn't as big, more linear but just plain great. You'll love 'em both.

Bioshock without a doubt. I thought the game was better in all respects (except scale of course) and has one of the best character development so far this gen... The world/atmosphere alone is unforgettable It is definitely one of those games you shouldn't pass up. I'd even go as far as stating that its the best ps3 game I have in my collection. However, we all know that taste is subjective so I recommend renting both games and coming to a conclusion by yourself.

definitely bioshock. If you were to go with the lenght of time spent it would be fallout 3 but in terms of quality of the experience, bioshock is way ahead. Fallout 3 art style did not do it for me, I enjoyed the combat but the story was lame (ending is really crappy). Bioshock is a much more entertaining game, with great art style, graphics, story and great gameplay.

Unfortunately for me I didn't really feel that way as I played through it. It felt a bit dry/mechanical to me.

Agreed, Bioshock's story, atmosphere, and gameplay are better but Fallout 3 offers you more stuff to do. However, Fallout 3 is less than oblivion and Bioshock for me eventually became repetitive as I found the best combo was freeze + either shotgun or crossbow

Damn you still got a long way to go but its a good game and I felt justified spending $60 on it. Oh and I felt that the leveling of plasmids, etc was more satisfying than Fallout3's leveling and perks

Both great games. BIOSHOCK = 9.5/10

FALLOUT 3 = 9/10

Bioshock is overall better becuase it has a fantastic story and skillful gameplay.

You're debating between two of the best games this gen -- either way you go, you win AND lose. Get Fallout 3 because it's a longer game, which gives you a lot of time to save up for Bioshock.

Will both be sold several months from each other? If so, I'll buy both. But if they sold only days from each other, I'll buy Bioshock.

I haven't played Bioshock, but i know that in Fallout3 Lock you out at the end, Lv 20 Not more to do, and M$ hogs the Dlc for now... But if you do want a platinum for Fallout 3 it is easy i just got board of finding the bobble heads.
