Orange box has great gameplay and its long

Bioshock has a truly touching and amazing story with uniqie, atmospheric gameplay. Its long and has replayability, but its not as long. Still

BIOSHOCK IS THE ****

Bioshock is short and single player only. The orange box is 5 games for the price of one and has online. The choice is obvious.

If you've got time to burn and like some unusual gameplay (portal) go for orange box

If your looking for a great story driven game go for bioshock

Orange Box. It just has more content at a good price.

Not to say Bioshock isn't good, because it is.

While I would rate Bioshock in my top 10 or 15 games of all-time these questions usually boil down to the amount of bang for the buck. In that regard, The Orange Box reigns supreme with a diverse selection of games that everyone will tell you stars Portal, but they negelect to mention that Half-Life 2 still stands as one of the best FPS games ever made. If money is an object go with Orange Box.

Bio Shock for me bro. Good game with plenty of atmosphere and gameplay. Awesome grafix and AI.

Half-life 2 is probably the best shooter of all time. Since your getting that, the two expansions, Portal, and TF2, the Orange Box should be a no brainer.

Bioshock is a great game, great visuals, great story and a great feel about it, but it is short.

So I'd go with the Orange Box, If you've not played the half lifes games this game will last a lot longer than bioshock. Plus then there's portal which is a great game on its own. Then there's also a great multiplayer experience with Team Fortress 2 if you use LIVE.

Bioshock is more than just a game, it's a piece of art. You'll love it. It's, in my opinion, the greatest game ever.

The Orange Box is great, but the quality is not near as good as Bioshock.

I'd just get Bioshock. You'd probably end up playing it just as much as The Orange Box, and it's just an overall better and amazing game.
