Fallout 3, so immersive it's crazy. Never has the story of a boy and his dog ever felt so real.
What makes this game truly excellent is its ability to pull at your emotions. Fallout 3 puts you I situations in where you have to choose between fun, money and morals. Blow up the town or save it, or do nothing. You can save Butch's mom, or kill her, or kill them both, or save his mom and then kill them both, or do nothing. This is truly a game that lets the player play how he/she wants. Which is great, but what really makes it fun, is that all of your choices matter. A choice u make at point A affects you at Point B later on in the game. What is so intrinsically excellent about this is that it increases the amount of realism you feel in the Fallout world. There is morality. there are choices, but most of all there is fun..... fun and super mutants.
That aspect combined with pretty graphics, an endlessly entertaining universe and tons of content to explore, makes Fallout 3 is the most enthralling game I've ever played and is hands down the best game of 2008.
