Tough decision. I'd say they are bothequal.
Because Fallout 1, 2, and tactics were so different than the more recent Fallout games, my vote will be on Mass Effect. But stories as a whole, I prefer the older Fallout games.

Yeah, I'm leaning more toward the console Fallout(s).

This poll will be a bit more accurate a couple months after New Vegas has been released I'm sure.

I want it solely to grind the 10,000 damage with fists. Fucking Disturbed reference.

Well I've never played the old Fallouts, honestly, but I like Fallout 3 more than the Mass Effect games. But I love them all.

im looking forward to new vegas because most of the original devs who worked on fallout 1 and 2 make up Obsidian. Should make for a more story based game rather than Bethesdas, and the list of voice actors is already long and impressive.

I got waaaaayyyyyy more playtime into my game of fallout 3 in 2 playthroughs then I ever did on 4-6 playthroughs of Mass Effect. Fallout has a VERY big world. Mass Effect to me is more of a point A to point B type thing, while with Fallout you have a HUGE world to explore. 2nd edit: Not to mention the DLC I heard rocks socks.

Huge world isnt all that, You gotta look at things like Visual Effects

Fallout doesnt offer much some run down buildings and nuclear wasteland, I think the only visual pleasure I got out of the game is when and IF you blow up Megaton with the Nuke

Mass Effect on the other hand is Visually SEXY, everything is eye pleasing to look at

Also Fallout Voice acting isnt all that great its like the same 6 people for every voice in the game just like Oblivion

Where as in Mass Effect 2 it has one of the greatest Voice Acting Cast of any game ive ever played

i agree. too tough of a decision for me as i love both games, but if were talking xbox 360 only, i give it to mass effect.

/e i really think fallout new vegas cast will make a better cast than fallout 3 just because of the voice actors they have, like wayne fucking newton!

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Fallout:_New_Vegas_voice_actors

I saw a larger list somewhere, but cant find it right now.

I think that the new Castlevania will be the best. Fable III has a solid one too.

voice acting was WAY better in mass effect 2. makes a difference when the characters dont all sound the same and cant act worth shit. i hated oblvion and fallout 3 voice acting.

Kinda hard to compare the two. Mass Effect is third person and linear while Fallout 3 (I would assume this is the one you are referring to) is sandbox and first person.

I like Mass Effect because great graphics and movie-like cutscenes.

Fallout is more of an RPG with leveling and having a house etc.

I've played Fallout 3 more so voting that; Mass Effect 1 & 2 are also drastically different.
