Which game should I buy in the coming month?

[The Evolutionist]

So I looked through the games that are coming out in August, and I narrowed it down to 2, but I can't decide between those two.

So which should I buy?

Metroid Prime 3

or

Bioshock?

BioShock. That game's promising to be fun as hell. And it's not just a regular FPS, either, it's got plenty of RPG elements to make the gameplay even more well-rounded. Not to mention that the reviews so far are giving it 10s and 9.5s.

Bioshock, as it's a necessary evolution of the FPS genre and not a "same thing with motion controls lulz" that Metroid Prime 3 is.

Also, it's something original, which should be reason enough from the get-go.

I'd pick up both had I a 360. I might wait to see if a PS3 version gets announced.

But had I a 360, I'd be getting both Metroid Prime 3 and Bioshock.

I forgot to mention that I really only have the money for one, so with that knowledge, which one would you go with?

Just go with BioShock. It's certain to be a better game, as well as a more robust play experience. Plus, the controls are probably bound to be at least a bit better considering that FPSes + Wiimote = hard to pull off.

 

[Addendum]

Bioshock, and then spend 800 points on Marathon for Live Arcade

Metroid Prime 3 will be pretty high quaity, but some of the stuff they're doing worries me (multiple planets, other hunters etc). I can't really give youa recommendation.
