Bethesda's most polished RPG to date, but loses a little magic.
(
PC

Bethesda has refined their open-world RPG formula down to a science. Fallout 3 is certainly the studio's most well-crafted game to date, giving you a much tighter, more focused and faster-paced experience than anything we've seen before in Oblivion or Morrowind. It's also refreshing to play a RPG based in ...

When people hear Fallout 3, the most common complaints are that it either doesn't stay true to the Black Isle style gameplay, or that it is "Oblivion with guns." Thankfully, these critics may rest easy because Fallout 3 unquestionably delivers. For the uninitiated, Fallout 3's setting is basically this: what if ...
