Fallout 3
Fallout 3 X360
The third game in the Fallout series, Fallout 3 is a singleplayer action role-playing game (RPG) set in a post-apocalyptic Washington DC. Combining the horrific insanity of the Cold War era theory of mutually assured destruction gone terribly wrong, with the kitschy naivety of American 1950s nuclear propaganda, Fallout 3 will satisfy both players familiar with the popular first two games in its series as well as those coming to the franchise for the first time.

Fallout 3 Reviews
I get tired of reading the one star reviews. It seems the major reason people dont like this game is because it is a role playing game, and not like halo where you are guided every step of the way and you shoot and throw grenades at every thing that moves. This game goes beyond that. The interaction with other people is good with many things to say. This easily has the best graphics yet! This may be a pitiful review but I just wanted to let you know this is an awsome game that will last a long time! Get the game of the year edition, it comes with all the expansions.
I played and replayed Fallout 1 and 2, and much loved those games, both for their gameplay and for their macabre humor and appreciation for pulp comic science fiction. I am also a big fan of Bethesda's Elder Scrolls series, with their beautiful graphics, deep backstories, and moral complexity. There had been past attempts to continue the Fallout series, which were sad failures. If anyone could do it right, I thought, it would be Bethesda. And so they did.
I had wondered how they would handle the turn-based combat system of Fallout 1 and 2 in a first-person, 3D environment on the model of Oblivion. The VATS system, in which one has the option of pausing the gameplay, and attacking a specific part of an enemy's body, followed by a slow-motion animation of the attack, works pretty well. It means you have a choice between using your character's skill, and your own -- the character's being the better choice, under most circumstances.
Narratively, the story is pretty much modelled on 1 and 2 -- no big surprises, and a similar sort of framework, with many plot points having clear analogies in the first two games. There is a richness in the details and in the sidequests, however.
Fallout fans will enjoy this game.
Great game, the perfect mix of Oblivion and Halo. My fiance and I love playing it together. :)
Great game, well designed, and very fun.
I suggest this game to anyone who is a fan of either FPS or RPG.
I gave this as a gift to my boyfriend last Christmas. He really enjoyed playing the game and I enjoyed watching him!
