Well if you want a game that will last a LONG time then Mass Effect is the way to go. Personally I played Bioshock and turned it back because I just couldn't get into it. Don't get me wrong Bioshock was a good game it just wasn't for me. Also from the ones who beat I heard it doesn't have much replay value.
Laslty it all depends if you, want a good shooter get Bioshock or if you want an action RPG get Mass Effect.
Bioshock's a good rental. Keeps you interested for a good 10-20 hours, but there isn't really much to give it a second go considering how only one kind of choice influences the ending you get (save/kill little sister. only thing that really influences the ending). the actual gameplay's kind of good and the atmosphere is spot on, but the fun wasn't enough for a second playthrough for me. i wouldn't buy it.
I haven't played Mass Effect, but it looks a lot deeper and longer than Bioshock. I'd probably recommend this because of that.
Mass Effect is your game. It's got great characters, a great story, and a good flow to it once you get it down, and as long as you pay attention, even just a little, you'll get it down.
Bioshock just didn't have flow to it... at least with me. You go from one place to another, gain new abilities, and shoot splicers... more and more splicers, which are just generic people with animal masks on from the 50s. Oh, yeah, the occasional Big Daddy too, but their not that hard, and only show up once in a blue moon (at first). You'll find yourself exploring more in this game than in Mass Effect, which is sad, but in a bad way. You'll be looking for where you need to go, because the maps are weak, and because they never directly give you direction... it's not bad at times, but REALLY bothersome when you're in a giant, underwater garden with about 7 opening in a single room, and 5 levels, up and down, to that room, with respawning splicers, but not respawning ammo. Oh, and the mini-game will start to piss you off after about the 5th time doing it... I was on time number 57 when I stopped playing... 4 hours... wasted...
