    what game should I start playing tomorrow Dante"s Inferno or Bioshock 2? 
    I think I'm leaning  towards Dante, cause I never played bioshock 1 and the story  doesn't seem to interest me much.  Dante's is going to probably be easier, lots of button mashing, and bioshock is more shooter.

    You seem to be more geared towards Dante's Inferno anyway.

    Bioshock didn't win awards because of its gameplay; it's in no way bad, but it's quite middling. If you aren't interested in the story than it's not worth your time. 
     
    I'd say go Dante's.

    Well, I loved the first Bioshock so I am actually getting both, but... in your case... play Dante's Inferno first. If you want to play Bioshock 2 I HIGHLY recommend playing the first one first. It's only like $20 these days.

    Finished dantes inferno the other day and i would have to say its not great but its not bad either.  
    I was playing it on zealot i think wich is like normal i think. Some parts of the game were pissing me off and when i got like mor ethan half way through there was this boss that pissed me off more and the game actually reminded me i coudl lower the difficulty level so i did and it greatly improved my experience with the game.  

    The harder the difficulty the more hits it takes to kill things obviously but i found that sometimes i was getting bored hitting the same enemys over and over and over again. 
    So basically what im saying is maybe try it on easy.  
     
    Just started playing bioshock 2 yesterday and its a bit hmmmm. I will finish it but i think if i hadnt played the first one i might not have been interested in this one so far as the start is a bit slow and boring i think. 
     
    So I think yoru better going with dantes inferno.

    I was really unimpressed with the Dante's Inferno demo. I'm not sure why people like it so much.

    Bioshock. The Dante's Inferno demo put me to sleep and the more I learn about the game the more boring and tedious it starts to sound. Both games have terrific art styles, though. Then again, I also hear that Dante's style and scenery go downhill fuck off fast after the first three or four areas. And if you didn't play Bioshock 1 then Bioshock 2's atmosphere might seem fresher and newer to you than it would otherwise. Because it is a very similar setting to the first game. Well, it is the same setting as the first game. 
     
    It just depends. Do you want a button masher or do you want a shooter? If you don't care then my suggestion would be Bioshock. I think it will be more bang for your buck. But if you really don't think it would be your cup of tea, then Dante's Inferno all the way.

    I'm playing Dante's Inferno first because I decided to rent it instead of buy it. I don't think it's worth $78 CAN and God Of War 3 will be cheaper and better. I am going to finish both it and the first BioShock (beat it long ago on the 360, now trying to beat it on the PS3) before I play BioShock 2.

    Having been through five circles of Hell so far...Dante's Inferno is a good rental.
