    Pros Utterly convincing free-roaming RPG. V.A.T.S brings strategy and entertainment. Depth beyond the main storyline. Cons Karma system is a little too clinical. Merely Oblivion in a post-apocalyptic world. Lack of pop-culture references for Fallout fans. War, war never changes... Perhaps one of the most iconic phrases uttered in a videogame (up there with “It’s me, Mario”), and almost certainly the most banal way to begin a review of the return of the illustrious...

  3. Fallout 3

    25 November 2008

    As the narration hits its stride and a skull and ribcage half-buried in sand appear in Fallout 3's introduction, I suppress the little voice that's asking, no, begging me to stand up, stride around Bethesda's viewing area Poirot-style with my index finger raised in the air before pointing directly at the game's executive producer and loudly saying: "I put it to you, Todd Howard, that this very scene is taken directly - directly! - from the image you saw when you died in...

  4. Fallout 3 – The Stalin’s Ghost Review.

    Reviewer: The Reticule
    8 November 2008

    So here’s my bottom line: I genuinely believe Fallout 3 is a worthy successor to the series. It’s not perfect, and I think a lot of people will be disappointed by the generally less than great characters, as well as a lot of the changes to the core game mechanics. I personally love the synthesis of RPG and FPS. A lot of people understandably won’t and don’t. But what I will say it that Bethesda have produced a fantastic game world that has Fallout at its heart.... Read more

  5. Fallout 3

    Reviewer: DPC GAMERS
    30 September 2009

    Washington D.C. is destroyed; nuclear fallout is everywhere so it's the perfect time to go for a wander. This is an extremely graphic and violent first person shooter. As someone rose in an underground bunker by your father when things go crazy in the quant facility the player must roam the wilderness searching for their father. The journey involves scouring the wasteland encountering human settle... Read more

  1. Fallout 3 review (PC)

    Reviewer: Merrik, Boomtown
    18 January 2009

    This website needs to develop some sort of standard for reviewing because Oblivion received a 10. In comparison to Fallout 3, Oblivion was bland, uninteresting, and uninspiring. Most people surely dropped it before finishing it as is the case with most games involving such an epic scale. Yes, there were a few issues to grapple with, but there were no problems that aren't present in any other RPG. Some common RPG issues were much less prevalent usual, even (the reuse of... Read more

    This game really is amazing. The storey line is brilliant, funny and very imersvie and the game does a great job of sucking you in with mind blowing environments and graphics. As long as you go into the game not expecting it to be exactly the same as 1 and 2, then you should be fine. Alot of people have made the mistake of wanting it to be the same and have been disappointed. It also has great replayability factor, ive already completed it 3 times, there will always be...

  3. Very Good with Disapointment

    This game was to include the main game with the (5) extra games. Well, when you die in the main game, I could not go to the five extra games. No instructions in the manuel and no indication during the game. I have a high end gaming computer and the graphics are excellent. No problems loading the game and no crashes during the game. If I could have gone to the other games, I would have rated it five stars. This game allows you to go in any directions taking on other... Read more
