I was looking into buying a classic set of games and of heard nothing but good things about all of the diablo and fallout classics. So for those who have played either or which would you recommend to buy? Diablo battlechest is $35 where as Fallout trilogy is $20, so I little difference in price but that doesnt matter to me, which in your opinion would give me more bang for my buck?

Fallout trilogy offers more content imo and would probably last longer, but it all depends on what you're after. An action packed multiplayer ARPG or a story driven dialogue heavy singleplayer RPG?

Well I thorughly enjoyed fallout 3 and having never played the older games I would love to give them a try. But ive also never played diablo, and honestly I usually prefer the action rpg over the stroyline based rpg, so Diablo would be my best choice? I may end up getting them both in the end, but as for now I only plan on getting one..

Sounds like Diablo would be your best bet. The older Fallouts are also a lot more slow paced especially during combat.

Diablo and Diablo II are both awesome games with a very strong online community. Battle.net will give you hundreds of hours of gameplay alone lol.

Oh, a helpful note, there is a Diablo custom widescreen mod out in the internet somewhere and seems to be rather popular.

If you are planning on getting the original fallout games based on your opinion of Fallout 3, your in for a rude awakening. They are both completely different. You should still give it a try though.

Diablo 2 exp. Fallout is just singleplayer. It gets boring after a way. Some weapons(a lot) get useless and start to do very little damage. There is a lot of content but it doesn't make the game better. D2 is good, multiplayer is great. You should start after the ladder resets(do not play non-ladder). Diablo 2 is a great game if you get into it .

If you have any D2 cd-key, you can activate it on the Blizzard store under your battle.net account and download a disc-free version of the game for free from Blizzard's site.

Fallout trilogy is $20

LatItude002
That's a lot. I just ordered it new from Amazon and it cost me 3 Euro. You can't really go wrong with any of those two series though.

Fallout is just singleplayer.

Actually Fallout does have multiplayer now.

I would say Fallout Trilogy (which, for those not in the know, does not include FO 3 - it is Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics). Also, you can get DL versions of those 3 games on GoG.com for about 18.00 US (5.99 each).

The REAL Fallout Trilogy(also known as the Black Isle Trilogy to those who don't want to sound like fanboys)

Without any doubt or hesitation, Fallout. Honestly, it's like finding the difference between an ocean and a puddle. Diablo is a VERY shallow game...click, click, click...zzzzz...zzzzz....
