Halo and Mass Effect play differently considering you're able to choose how your story plays out to some extent in ME. If it came down to bare bones story though, I'd choose Halo. They have a far better defined lore and far more compelling antagonists (you must admit, while the Reapers were an intimidating foe they were essentially a faceless enemy in ME3)
