Undoubtedly, the releases of Fallout 1 and 2 were just the harbingers of its current predecessor. Bethesda, the creators of the Elderscrolls series, hit the mark when they created this massive shooter. Those who remember Oblivion will reminisce in the familiar concepts of movement and fighting styles, but will be delighted with the addition of the V.A.T.S. system. VATS, giving the player the ability to freeze time briefly to asses their plan of attack, is useful in determining week spots, percentage of possible attacks, and different limb layouts. It truly gives one time to make an informed decision of fight or flight.

The story takes place, post-nuclear world war, in which the player grows up in an underground vault. This vault contains part of the surviving human race that were saved from the radiation of the war. Events happen which lead you out of the vault into the wastelands near real-world Washington D.C. After leaving the vault, the immense detail and immerse size of the world map will totally amaze you.

Overall, after only play about 5-10 hours, I see this game winning quite a few awards in the upcoming months!

Well I know that I had a good time tonight at Kaze’s Jap Steakhouse, despite the initial lack of hotwings . I think that the night was a little short though seeing as I kinda wanted to go and see the new Ironman Flick. Next time we all go out, we gotta stay out longer! I do wish that we had got the more talented chef, but we all know who’s fault that is (rhymes with pasha)… the night is still young though, and I gotta find something to do!
