Fallout 3
3 playable characters, each with their own unique traits, strengths and attributes. Unleash over 50 ranged, explosive weapons on hoards of radioactive and mutant creatures and bosses. Tons of unique equipment to acquire from defeated enemies.
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.

Great action and a good story line. I finished the main plot but I am still playing the game with my mutant companion Fawkes. I also plan to purchase the add on's. I am 73 years old and still love a good shooter.

This was an absolute amazing game, from graphics to gameplay it astounded me! The campaign was refreshing and new, with unique twists, and the freelancing was epic and fun. The only downside to this game was the language. I felt nearly at all times like I was in an auto repair shop. Basically it's only for 17+ and not to be played around parents at home with speakers.
Open world 1st or 3rd person questing. Lots of expansion content for this game. The only complaint is that the un-patched game is very unstable and crash prone. The current patch resolves all stability issues, but it's frustrating when a game doesn't work straight out of the box. One of my favorite games of 2009
the fall out 3 game of the year edition has all three expansions. why by them, i have not gotten fall out 3 yet, am still working my way through 1 &2. so will just get the whole kit-n-kabootal with the game of the year.
The game is great. I did have to upgrade my video card too an ATI 5870 from a 7800GTX SLI to get smooth play. If you played Oblivion you will notice the same engine. I was an original fan of Wasteland on my Apple IIGS back in the late 80's early 90's. I replayed Fallout 1 & 2 before this so I guess I am a fan of this series. They say over 100 hours of play, I think I can belive it. It is an large world. I have only played about 10 hours worth so far.
