While it's hard to compare them because they're very different games, I'd have to go with Mass Effect 2. There's a lot of different things you can do it in like quests and missions, lots of side-stuff and some pretty fun gameplay overall with a good combat system (the combat was better than the first I think, felt more like Gears of War). Bioshock was alright but it was just a little too linear for my tastes, pretty twisted and sick though! As far as fun factor, I'd go with Mass Effect 2.

Mass Effect 2, although I love Bioshock, I think even Bioshock 2 (that doesnt receive as much praise) has better gameplay

Bioshock hands down. It was, to me, just an overall better experience. I loved the atmosphere and design of it. Mass Effect 2 disappointed me a bit with it's placeholder story and lack of actual RPG elements that made the first game so wonderful.

Either Mass Effect is better than Bioshock. Bioshock is just an average game.

I personally prefer Bioshock 1 to Mass Effect 2. I love Bioshock's art style, gameplay and world. I really enjoyed Mass Effect 2 as well though.

Just get both, neither is tooexpensive at this point.

To answer though, Bioshock. Mass Effect 2 is a great game by all means but Bioshock is more original. Mass Effect 2 is a fun game to play; Bioshock is an experience.

Bioshock in everyway. I'm not a huge fan of Mass Effect. I've played RPG and strategy games my whole life but Mass Effect never appealed to me. I'm not saying it's overrated but in my opinion I don't think it deserves all the praise it gets compared to alot of other RPG/Strategy games out there.

Good point, but to answer the poster's question, i'd have to say that both games are fun to play, for different reasons.

Mass Effect 2 is way better then Bioshock 1. More choices, more endings, and definitely more fun. No other game can give you an emotional link then that series.

I never really cared for Bioshock so my opinion on this is shrouded, I would believe it if I was told it was better than ME2 though, ME2 is not as RPG oriented as ME1 was. ME1 would be better than Bioshock though because it is the best game ever on THIS gen systems.

I vote BioShock 1, But it depends on the individual. These 2 games are very different, So it is a matter of personal like for the genre.

ME2 @ $20 and Bioshock @ $10... If you're trying to decide get them both, $30 well spent.

But I'd personally choose ME2, but that's primarily because Bioshock still scares me. Yep, it scares me.
