Random Gamer's Release of the Week: Fallout 3

Greedy Raven writes, "This week's big release is the long overdue Fallout 3. For those of you who are wondering what happened to Fallout and Fallout 2, you missed a major point in gaming history. Fallout was released in 1997 by Interplay, with Fallout 2 being released the following year. These bird's-eye-view RPGs were set in America after a nuclear war with China. They were known for their vast open ended story lines, over the top gore and violence, and dark, yet hilarious humor..."

I can't wait for this to come out. What platform are you buying the game for?

[Denocao]

I am not buying... I am renting it for ps3.

This is a game that will be relevant for a long time to come with a very long shelf life. I'll probably wait to trade for it on Goozex and if that takes too long, I'll buy it off of eBay.

I just got Bad Company from eBay for $30. Couldn't find it cheaper anywhere else.

As far as I have seen, this game may be a bit too substantial for a rent. But who knows, maybe you are alot faster getting through games than me!

Great history lesson. :)

[bgrundman]

Thank you! It was fun to take a trip down memory lane. Those classic games where so great. I just reinstalled them on my PC for old times sake. They are amazing.

im a big fan of bethesda but im gonna have to pass on this one. something thats already started to annoy the hell out of me from just the commercials is the action cam.

[bgrundman]

Though the camera kinda tweaks me too, I am willing to give it another chance. I think bethesda has a solid enough track record, that it is worth giving them a chance to prove themselves... Who knows, if enough people feel that way it might get patched.

FC2 and LBP....I guess I'm trading FC2 instead, played it for a while and i keep on getting fragged in the middle of the mission and have to go back to the checkpoint and start over again...it annoyed me more than enjoying the game...

[saphiron]

just played the game a while, im not that hooked.. Actually, not hooked at all. For god sake, dont touch the LB. The 3.person view is as horrible as in Oblivion. It kinda feels like oblivion, wich i loved, but im not a fallout3 fan yet. Hope it gets better further into the game.. Its nowhere near a GOTY. The framerate on 360 is good and steady, but there is some minor screen tearing.
