    Fallout 3 Six Months Later

     Fallout 3 is a great game and is icredible fun to play over and over again and this is because of the amount of hidden content that can be found at each location that you visit and depending on what skills you have you may not be able to do it so you will have to remeber and come back later.


    Visuals
     Six months later and the game still looks good and graphics still look good today and the wasteland is huge but of course it is a wasteland so it does not have a lot of things in it unless you are at an actual location.

    Gameplay
     The gameplay is fun and entertaining and has a lot of variety with hacking, lock picking, shooting and a very comprhensive gameplay mechnaic known as V.A.T.S and this is one if the things that separates Fallout 3 from Bethades previous game Elder Scrolls: Oblivion which is very similar to Fallout 3 in gameplay which is good because Oblivion was a great game to.

    Story
     The main quest in Fallout 3 is a good story which is about you as a son or daugther trying to find their father after leaving the vault and one in the wastleland that is were the main aspect of the story which is making the karmic choices in teh game which then you have to cope with the consiquences of your actions for example do you help the escaped slaves or the slavers.

    Final Impressions
     This is a game that you must get as long a you go into it making sure that you understand that this is a role-playing game and not a first person shooter.

    The DLC
     The first DLC's for PC and Xbox 360 which are Operation Anchorage, The Pitt and Brokensteel are all out and are worth getting and there is also Point Look and Mothership Zeta coming up. However PS3 owners will not be deprived from the DLC any longer because Operation Acnchorae will come out at the end of june and then 4-6 weeks between each DLC release after that.

      Review:   Fallout 3 (PS3) By Shift_andrew   Introduction: So let me state starting out that I was not a Fallout fan prior to Fallout 3. In fact, I have never played Fallout or Fallout 2. The reason I'd like to bring this up is simply to make it clear that I won't be comparing this game to its predecessors and that this review will be written from my completely fresh perspective. Anyway, let's get on with it! Presentation: Fallout 3's presentation is its shining quality. The interface is ke...
