Both are good, but Mass Effect has a MUCH better story and is more engaging in my opinion.

Re: Need help choosing between two games

I just finished the Main Quest on Oblivion. It took me about 95 hours, mainly because I did many of the other quests too (especially the Mages Quests). It really is an incredible game.

How does Fallout3 compare to Bio-Shock?

The more apt comparison is Oblivion (it's not like Bioshock at all).

The setting/mood is drastically different. However, Fallout3's gameplay/progression, though more refined, is very similar to Oblivion. Fallout3 is also more polished, but less open-ended than Oblivion. But if you like one, you'll like the other.

I was able to track down a brand new copy of Oblivion: Game of the Year Edition for $19.96 today ... I am very pleased!

They sometimes put out a lot of games on clearance at some damn good prices (I have previously gotten Darkstalkers (PSP), Warioware Touched! (DS), Yoshi: Touch and Go (DS) and Kirby: Canvas Curse (DS) from them for $7-$9 each on clearance). I managed to track down pretty much one of the last copies of Oblivion: GOTY in-store, at the $19.96 price, even though the product was removed from their web site since early December. It helped that the game was under the counter, hidden behind a wall of other games
