You pick out the 2 most highly anticipated and best looking upcoming new releases and ask which one should you get.  There is only one option in such a situation, you without a doubt get both games as both seem to be packing a significant impact to the great world of gaming.

i don't know much about Mass Effect (I'm forcing myself to not read up about it because I'm lacking money and don't wanna get hyped for something i can't afford), but i do know Bioshock looks amazing, if i had to choose it'd be Bioshock (but my opinion probably won't matter :P)

Dude.... read an article or watch a video. It's a third person shooter with all the RPG elements you could ever ask for.

I want Bioshock badly after watching the new video, but nothing is going to make me happier than that drive home, walking into my house with Mass Effect in my hands, ripping it open, popping it in, and letting it consume my life.

Mass effect, open ended RPG FTW! I'm not that big a fan of scary games. Although BioShock looks awsome.

wow two of my most anticipated games but i know how you feel the whole short on funds for gaming situation. I myself have still yet to play Gears of War, RSV, Lost Planet and a few others, not that i dont have the cash but i was in debt to my parents for about $1000 because i bought full season tickets for the Detroit Tigers this year.

eeny-meeny-miny-moe, catch-a-tiger-by-the-toe,if-he-hollers-let-him-go,my-momma-told-me-to-pick-the-very-best-one-and-that-is-you! Get Mass Effect. Seriously, I think Mass Effect would have more gameplay for your money and you could play it over and over again one time(or more) for each species. However I think Bioshock is one of those games where if you beat it once it won't be apealling to you anymore like Fable.

Mass Effect and Bioshock will blow you away but as far as the games goI think Bioware cheated with Mass Effect making half the game decision making. Bioshock has this element without taking up thehalf thegame. You'll find bioshocks combat to work better, and the stories of both games are amazing. I have both games and Mass Effect Collects dust after it's second playthrough, while I play my third playtrhough of Bioshock, and I play another good choice The Orange Box.

Both Games are worth buying but if I had to choose between them I'd Chose BioShock

Rent Bioshock, rent Mass Effect. Mass Effect is a deeper game and it's most likely going to last you longer. Bioshock just plain lacks replay value, but it's one of the most amazing worlds in a game to check out. Mass Effect looks like a purchase, but Bioshock's one of the best rentals you could get

Lol right you are there. It is hard to choose between 2 amazing games. You should do a little research to see which line of the game you like better.

Both games are my 2 favorite games I have on my 360 and after playing through both games twice id have to say i enjoyed Bioshock and Mass Efect equally so with that said I'd buy which ever game you could find for a cheaper price.

I have both, and I enjoyed Bioshock more. Mass Effect was a good start to the series, but it really failed to bring enough RPG elements into the game. It felt like a stale shooter with very few RPG elements.

Mass Effect. Bioshock is a good game, but not in the same league here. (though I do admit I am pretty much as close to a bioware fanboy as I can get w/o screwing myself over lol)
