Having now played the game for about two weeks I can safely say that Fallout 3 is one best games of the year. The game will progress how you want it too. The main quest of the game is pretty straight forward and can be done pretty quickly if you so choose. But where is the fun in that. Explore the wastelands and try to find everything the game has to offer. It can't be done with just one character. Should you choose to be evil (blowing up the bomb in Megaton is a good way to start as any), or be the good guy (disarm the bomb and the town will love you) Fallout 3 lets you be who you want to be. Should I let someone live so they can help me later, or should i kill them for their gear? The choice is yours.

The graphics are fantastic. This coming from a PC that is pretty ancient in computer years. Older Intel 4 chip running at 3.4Ghz, 1GB Ram, and a GT8800. I have only had one or two experiences where the frame rate has slowed. Both instances involved 3-4 Super Brutes, a Mole Rat, and me taking them all out with a Missile Launcher or Bottle cap Mine. Gotta love the carnage.

The side quests will lead you all over the map, and this is a good thing. Go take a trip to the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, the National Archives, or even the good ole White house. These landmarks are a sight to see.

The weapons in the game give you a lot of options on how you would like to kill your foes. Do you annihilate them with a combat shotgun, beat them to death with a nail board, disintegrate them with the laser rifle, or turn them into a pile of goo with the plasma guns? This doesn't even include all the fun extra weapons in the game. Use the Rock-It-Launcher to kill that cute Mole rat with the extra stuff in your inventory. Who knew teddy bears were such good ammo??

Fallout 3 will take up a lot of your time, but is 100% worth it. If there is one game you should be playing this holiday season it should be Fallout 3. Enjoy.
