There is quite a difference between them, I'd say Black ops would give your more playtime (if it's good) since Brink is a co-op game and the story ends at some point. I'm not sure how Brink is going to turn out, in concept it sounds awesome, but their main mechanic (the free running) isn't really that great. It just seems you hit a key, and it does the free running portion for you.
So... I'm going with CoD, hopefully it doesn't disappoint. It just seems like the better of the two at this point.
I'm waiting for Bulletstorm/Portal 2 for co-op goodness my self.

Yea I know it's coming out next year, but I'm saving up for a car so I would rather spend cash on that than 2 games.

I never understand why threads like this come out where the two game are so different. It's mind boggling.
Brink is a science fiction FPS heavily based on story and customization. It has a semi-cartoony look to characters and environments, and does not have the typical multiplayer aspect to other FPS games. When you play against other players in Brink, you are actually playing a piece of the campaign with the AI enemies replaced with real people. Another real emphasized part of the game, although not much of a forced purchase incentive in my opinion, is the SMART button. Hold down whatever button it will be, and your character will traverse random terrain similar to the way you would in Mirror's Edge if you've ever played or seen that.
Black-Ops is another modern Call of Duty that is very much the same, just with a different developer with new ideas. If you've played and liked MW or MW2, chances are you'll like BO. Lol, "BO." Differences with BO is that instead of unlocking weapons in like in MW2, you'll actually accumulate credits while playing that you will spend on weapons of your choice. There will also be an emblem editor that will replace the player bars, and you'll also be able to do other little tweaks like have your clan's name on your gun, view, edit, and upload videos of games you played just like Halo is famous for, a favorite for me is that now shotguns aren't secondaries! Yay!
But like already stated, Brink does not have a release date, just a window. You'll likely be able to acquire the money for both if you set your mind to it.
