I know I am going to get one of these games quite soon (I'll be getting both eventually), but which should I get first? Which is a better game?

Neither...

But since that's not what you want to hear, I guess dead space, Bioshock was so lame.

Deadspace, bioshock two was awful.

Bioshock 2 wasn't awful. I've played a bit of it. But Apparently Dead Space is better.

I quit playing bioshock after 30 minutes, it was just boring and not at all interesting.

Bah, I enjoyed Bioshock 2. Not as good as one but that's what everyone expected.

But buying it for £5 helps me like it too.

Do you like any games?

As for the choices, well Dead Space is a pretty damn awesome game. Bioshock 2 was more like Bioshock 1.5 it didn't really do anything for me that the first game didn't already do better. It was very similar to how New Vegas was to Fallout 3.

I do, I just hate many more. I'm extremely picky, with almost everything...

Except meat.

Hmm, both are okay. Though Dead Space has cheap scares, a lot like DOOM 3 really. Bioshock 2 just doesn't compare to the first game sadly.

Don't play dead space for the horror, play it to be a necromorph slaying badass.

Get Mass Effect 2.

If you have it, Dead Space.

Deadspace if you want a game that’s as good as RE4 but you want to be able to move and shoot, Deadspace is the one for you.

Since the second installment is coming out soon you should be able to pick it up for a good price.

Bioshock 2 is a rental IMO, I own it yet have only played though it once.

Deadspace is around 5 quid on steam if you preorder dead space 2 for 30 quid with it.

We played through the 360 version and it was quite a scarefest until we reached the nursery. Our cringes of terror became unnerving giggles and laughter after Isaac kicked his way through that one.

Dead Space is good, but if you played Doom 3 you've basically played it already. I recommend it.

Bioshock 2 is an unnecessary cash-in sequel to a very good game. I'd steer clear until it's in the $10 bin. Or you can wait for it to go on sale on Steam again, whatevs.

BS2 (heh) is an okay game, but adds little to Rapture other than some extra background story and an EXTREMELY fun museum ride. I got the special edition from the bargain bin by the way. Makes me wish I had a record player.

If your looking for a multiplayer game, go Bioshock 2. I have never seen a better balanced FPS. As for it's single Player, download Minerva's Den. That alone is worth the price of admission, once you get past the LAZORS!
