To steal Nike's tagline: Just Do It. Mass Effect is a great game, yes their is texture pop in but the storyline is A+++. Its one of the only games I've played more than once excluding multiplayer.

I don't really see such a difference, they both looked good to start with.

Edit: i now guess that I don't see such a difference because most of the screenshots are from the first games lol.

IMO, Bioshock suffered from a lot of the same issues that Assassin's Creed did.
Almost all the side quests are just too repetitive, and even a lot of the main quest. It's just toooo easy when you're in the tank, which unfortunately is like a good 40% of the game.

I think I read in an interview with BioWare that they've fixed the texture popping for ME2.
