In a game with a gun, you want it to have awesome headshot animations and graphics to reward you for shooting someone in the head. I personally think that Fallout 3 has the best headshots out of any video game, what do you think?

I personally think that Fallout 3 has the best headshots I have ever seen in a videogame. It actually depicts what would happen if you put a shotgun to someones head and pulled the trigger.

Their entire body explodes? They melt into a pile of incandescent goo? Nvm, that's still awesome. Vote for fallout 3.

I like the mixture of canned animation and ragdoll physics Reach has. It's fun to make dudes do floppy backflips, even if it isn't the most realistic result of lodging a bullet in someone's head.

Always satisfying when blowing a head off in slow motion in Fallout 3.

Fallout 3 every time. 
Slightly off topic (although I haven't played the game and the game itself looks crappy) while watching the quick look for The cartel I was actually pretty impressed at the blood spray on the way after punching the guys in the face.

Meh. It's too flashy and gory. Sure, it's probably something close to reality, but I prefer Team Fortress 2. The anmiations amd the small bloodsplatter leaves for some fantastic deathscenes that fits perfectly with the rest of the game.

Counter-Strike. But only when you take out an entire team with the USP or Deagle in a clan match. Or if you get them through a tiny gap between some double-doors.

In terms of "heads blowing up", I find Fallout 3 and Gears of Wars to be the most satisfying, although the effect of F3 is sort of diminished because of how easy it is to blow somebody's head off. Happens in practically every fight I get in.

You'd be surprised. The head typically stays attached, it just ends up in tatters. Sometimes only half the head is blown off, sometimes there's a small hole in the front and nothing (meaning no head) in the back, etc. Learned this from a coroner friend, a conversation we had about movie deaths and how unrealistic they are.
 
There's always rotten.com if you want to see for yourself. I'll pass, thanks.

None of the above. The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings and Crysis 2(post Dx 11 & HiRes pack).

edit: Oops... I misunderstood headshot. I thought you meant facial animations not bullets to the head.

Resident Evil 4 still has the most satisfying head shots if you ask me.

Wolfenstein. I don't think this game did a lot right but I do think the shooting in it was the most satisfying I've ever experienced. You can bayonet a Nazi in the throat before shooting him in the face! What more do you want? The standard guns in this game were brilliant in terms of shooting people.

Out of the choices given, probably Fallout, because I'm playing through New Vegas at the moment, though my favorite right now is probably Shadows of the Damned. I find it pretty satisfying to pull off a headshot in that game.

Why does VATS even have other limbs as an option? Everyone who has ever played Fallout 3 always targets the head.

Bad Company 2.  Some of the headshot animations are so satisfying.
 
Though, Fallout is pretty amazing sometimes...
 
Edit:  There are games with better headshots, but out of the list those are my choices.

To try to make fans remember it's a fallout game, despite how you can't aim at the eyes or the groins of the people you're aiming at. Sure some went straight for the head, but I always went straight for the balls, don't know why...
