i own both and honestly since warhawk came out i haven't been able to put it down, its been three days since i played bioshock, im still on level three i think its after finding all those stupid ingredients so i can put together something so i can give it to someone or something or blah blah blah.. just give me an full auto mp-5 already so i can blast through this game and get it over with man. bioshock is a good game. but my opinion is that warhawk is absolutely incredibly fun and way more addictive.

You will always get more replay value with the Multiplayer Game... But the story in Bioshock drew me in and never let me go till the end, You seem like the average FPS fan who wants to blow through everything and really doesn't care much about a story... (not a bad thing but thats just what I gather from what you typed, no offense)

i think its safe to say that warhawk is better than bioshock in replay value

bioshock after the single player thats it. its back to gamestop for a $5 trade

but warhawk will consumecountless hours of your time with a diffrent outcome after

every session

I overplayed Warhawk during the beta, so I've done pretty much everything there is to do in that game. Warhawk is a good game but Bioshock>>> Warhawk anyday

I have both and I play BioShock more. It's just a better and more complete experience, but it's also a completely different experience. I like stories more than mindless battles with random peeps.

I sincerely hope that you don't trade in games... I could never break down and trade in my old games.

I found the same EXACT thing happen to me! I love Bioshock, even got the collector's, but once WARHAWK was out, I've been drawn to it. IT's Just too much fun.

Bioshock great Single player game, but I guess I am more of a Multiplayer Gamer. Still, I will have all 1000 Points in Bioshock when I'm done....not to mention Metroid is just sitting there, I only logged in 30 minutes.

Warhawk's greatest strength is it's incredibly fun.

This discussion reminds me a lot of myelf when maybe six years ago I bought Weezer's Green album and Tool's Lateralus that coincidently both came out on the same day, and both of which I was highly anticipating. From the onset, I was immediately drawn to Weezer's album because it was catchier, lighter, and easier to "get into." However, after the initial novely wore off of the weezer album after a few weeks I realized that although Lateralus wasn't as easy to just pick up and listen to as Weezer initially was, the lasting impact and overall quality of Tool's album was drastically better. Lateralus was an epic sit-down-and-appreciate musical journey that required time and appreciation, and Weezer was cheap popcorn pop.

I feel thats exactly the way Bioshock and Warhawk can be differentiated as (they are really two different genres too, just as Tool and Weezer are). Bioshock will go down as an epic game that will sit high in the eyes of people's memories as a genuine classic for this generation, while although Warhawk may be very fun in its wn right, won't garner that same sort of appreciation because unfortunately not enough is really there. However, with all respect to the PS3, if it doesn't start putting out credible games Warhawk may very well be known as a PS3 classic simply due to that which it is being judged along the likes of Lair and Motorstorm.

These games both just came out. I may be right, I may be wrong, but Bioshock just seems like one of those rare quality all-around meticulous effort games where talented developers gave their blood, sweat, and tears into making this game as good as they possibly could. Warhawk is fun now, but do you honestly think it will stand the test of time?

this is the reason why ppl love UT and CS. its the replay value will always be there because of the MP aspect of it. which is why i have been playing warhawk over bioshock. bioshock is good for hte 2-3times beating it. but after that what is there left to do? where Warhawk the replay is always there regardless how many times you play it. just like UT and CS.

I see what you're saying, but I guess I'm speaking in terms of what the overall better game is and how in retrospect these games will be viewed upon the gaming community many years from now. Is Warhawk a classic? Only time will tell, but it is pretty evident that Bioshock is an epic game. While not having the replay value of a constantly changing multi-player game such as Warhawk, the impact and resonating nostalgia the game elicits in others will determine the true quality of these games. I can have crazy fun playing the very simplest and greatest replay-value-laden games on my computer to pass the time at work day in and day out, but I think in my mind though I may play more Snood than Zelda, Zelda most definitely garners a greater appreciation with me when I think of past gaing experiences than Snood (I'm not comparing Snood and Warhawk, but the concept is the same.) Many many people consider Zeld: OoT as one of the very best games of all time. After playing through that game maybe once or twice more after beating it the first time what is there after it? I don't know, probably not much, but I'm sure as hell not going to pawn it for $5 at Gamespot-that games was epic and while I was in the midst of playing it it was one of the single-greatest gaming experiences of my life. You just can't put a price or downplay that sort of nostalgia.

Wow, um, do you have the attention span of a fly!?!? BioShock is easily one of the greatest games ever made - the story is absolutely to die for, and the gameplay is so innovative and flexible that I'll have trouble going back to a standard FPS any time soon. What is Warhawk? A cartoony BF2 rip-off? No, no thank you. I'll take a game that tackles new subjects and concepts.

Play Bioshock until you confront Andrew Ryan. That was perhaps the greatest moment in gaming history, certainly this gen at least.

Why are we comparing a game that has single player but no multiplayer to a game that has multiplayer and no single player...I'm confused.

Yeah same here. I was about half-way through when I bought Warhawk and haven't gone back since. I love Bioshock but Warhawk is just really addicting and fun.

Hell I think I'm gonna load Bioshock up right now. All the good Warhawk servers are packed full.... too popular for its own good.

I haven't beat Bioshock, and I haven't even played Warhawk for more than 2 hours.

Want to know why?

Because I'm still trying to get through Quake 4. I love that game.

whats dumb is you sitting here trying to troll. the question was intended for poeple that own both. and which one are you playing more.honestley i regret buying bioshock. its a great game but i just don't like it as much aswarhawk. sitting trying to connect the waterpipe mini game gets old fast. and im not too keen on the magic casting thing. and i could care less about the story. warhawk has a better story which is "kill, destroy and burn everything thee END

i think its safe to say that warhawk is better than bioshock in replay value

bioshock after the single player thats it. its back to gamestop for a $5 trade

but warhawk will consumecountless hours of your time with a diffrent outcome after

every session

Klash47

or a $30 trade. Leave Gamestop alone.

Anyway, I love them both, but they are too very different games. Bioshock is an emmersive experiance, whereas warhawk is just a ton of fun.
