This game is a phenomenal achievement. Oblivion is my all time favorite RPG, and Fallout is as good or better in almost every way. The graphics are better. The sound is fantastic. I absolutely love the radio stations, both the songs and the DJ's. The voice acting is generally excellent. ...

Fallout 3 is flawed fun
(

Fallout 3 is a big, big game. And when a game has such a quantity of content, glitches, both tiny and big, are pretty much unavoidable. Therefore, this new Fallout, that really doesn't have a whole lot in common with the previous ones aside from the theme, is riddled with ...
