Mass Effect 2
It's the best game released this decade IMO. Great hybrid of RPG and shooter, best pacing I have ever seen in a game, and one of the best narratives. Story is told in more detail then any other game I have ever played before, and the ability to made good and naughty decisions just makes the story that much more involving.
MGS4 is over-rated IMO. It's a 5 hour long game, with 15 hours of cinematics, with a very dull (world will end with a holocaust theme). Some of the boss fights (Two Metal Gears) are great, but I'm not a fan of conspiracy games, where people have super powers. I know Mass Effect has Biotic powers as well, but they aren't the focus of the game like in MGS.
I also like the atmosphere, and genre of Mass Effect 2 a lot more. In the end, MGS4 feels like an interactive movie, with fun as hell boss fights, where Mass Effect 2 is a 30+ hour action paced shooter, which never gets dull.
