    I'm pretty sure a lot of people have seen them both and they are similar (catchy music, gameplay quality scene, you have no idea whats going on but you immediately wanted to get the game right after). This poll is just on the commercial only, which was more awesome? (yes i know the GoW one is old)

    Definitely prefer the GoW commercial, but that's not saying the Bioshock one isn't good. The Bioshock one is just much more... in your face. I preferred the subtlety and classiness of the GoW one.

    eh the GoW one is definately so much better. the bioshock one was okay. GoW one i rly liked. music was better and it just showed better IMO. the bioshock one was sorta like random stuff put together just tryin to show off all the plasmids and the big daddy and all

    The GoW one with the slow music is from donnie Darko... and it had nothing to do with the game... maybe i just like the whole 50s/60s music thing... but it seemed nostalgic and coolor... lol.. its just ur opinion

    Which, coincidentally is the song I'm listening to right now, as it's playing over the credits of a CSI rerun.

    The GoW commercial is definitely better (and not just because Gary Jules kicks ass). I'm not a fan of the recent Bioshock ad - it looks like cheesy claymation. They should've shown some in-game footage and let the game speak for itself. Or at least something like one of the trailers (the CG one where the main character gets drilled from behind through his chest by the Big Daddy - and we see it in first person). Probably too violent for TV though, but still...
