I believe these two games are very comparable; so which do you think does the story driven tactical FPS adventure better: Bioshock or Half-Life 2?

I personally think it's too close to call. Both are just so amazing and immersive.

Bioshock is just a better game overall, HL2 helped bring gaming into the same spotlight as movies, but Bioshock is just an all-time great.

HL2 was so much better to me. The music, atmosphere, characters, all of it was just fantastic.

Bioshock beats down HL2 on graphics, but I like the story more.

Man that is a hard decision both games rock. Bioshock is a great game espcially played with surround sound in a dark room. Half-Life is a great game in it's own right, but the Orange Box version is probably the best gaming value for the 360 and PC ever made. 5 Games in one package, all of them stellar, not to mention one of them is Portal which is a dramatcially underated game. Get them both, they both are replayable over and over.

Half Life 2 all the way in every way possible. the only thing Bioshock has over it would be the graphics, but otherwise Half Life 2 takes the cake

In fact, get them both! Bioshock is my all time favorite though. Both games are simply amazing.

Half-Life 2 is great and all, but you just can't top Bioshock in my opinion. Storyline and gameplay is uncomparable to all other games in fps genre

I prefer Half-Life. I like the characters. Bioshock was often a lonely experience.

I think that was the point, though. To feel abandoned in a ruined utopia run by freaks. I agree with you, though, Half-Life has some great characters.

I think it was meant to be. Played into the creepiness going at it all alone. If you stumbled into rapture, I doubt you're going to find many relatable characters you'd actually care about.

Half Life 2, Bioshock is awesome but really really overrated. Heck even seeing Bioshock ahead in the voting leaves me flabergasted (misspelled maybe :P).

Bioshock. Simply that.
