Meh it's x box mag though, they'll over-hype any game for you to get it, but Fallout 3 does look good.

It looked like a potential 10 from all the vids, and features and story, i for one have been waiting for this game for awhile now and was gonna pick it up regardless of what critics thought of it, this just reassues my decision.

They gave it a 10? That's weird... Oblivion was way better in terms of a RPG game, i still had that on my HDD after like a year. And there's much better shooters to get too. Fallout 3 on the other hand, i think i'll leave that at the bottom of my games. Just too bland and sure the combat mechanics are new and interesting and there proberbly is a good story somewhere in there (i couldn't find it). The radio, while i'm into oldies and some of the songs are quite catchy you'll wanna play your own music, it's just too much hassle to turn the player on and off every time there's a new peice of dialog..

Yeah but the game's also on PS3 and PC. It's not like its Xbox only.

We already know that, I wonder if Gamespot and IGN will give it a 10 like they did with GTA IV, that'll be interesting.

After playing the game I can tell you it's definitely not worth a 10, the AI can sometimes be stupid, for instance I'm tired of computer AI characters getting stuck on the wall and juse constantly running against it like they're too dumb to go around. There's many other things I could go on about that I don't like but hey I won't. This game is more on a 7.5-8.5 level nothing more.

I've heard from a mate who has it, the game is absolutely amazing, however, there is one slight problem he said the game was a bit short. Though im presuming that he went straight though the campaign and little else.

So considering this is the company that made Oblivion i'm pretty sure it will have heeps of extra **** , so i rekon it will be a must buy for rpg fans

Played all the previous Fallout games on my PC & had a blast with them. Looking forward to Fallout 3 more than any other game.

I've given this some thought.

For the most part, there is some range between scores.. Some mags might give a game a 7 whereas another might give that same game an 8.5. I almost never see different mags disagree majorly.. like a 9.5 and someone else gives it a 6.

Any respectable gaming mag values its perfect score and usually doesn't give them out on a whim. That said, 1 perfect 10 score completely validates my preorder of the game. I expect some score range, but I seriously doubt another gaming mag or site will give the game a 6 or something. I expect 9-10 score average across the board.

Being a huge fan of Fallout, I really wanted this game to be good. And it looks like I won't be dissappointed.

I've been stuck in the stone age since I didn't know what RPG games are. Did a little research here on gamespot and happened to come across Fallout 3, to mention but a few titles. I was, and still am, blown away. Much like the landscape in the game. Two things that just put the cherry on top is the ability to switch to 3rd person and the time freeze. Some of you all might disagree with the time freeze and I understand. I do think however that 1st person titles should really start offering 3rd person options. I mean most 1st person games are already awesome anyway. Why not share the wealth man. We can't apply capitalism in games too. :)

It's OFFICIAL Xbox Magazine reviewing a game that is a potential system seller - they aren't going to rate it harshly.

Dead Space on the other hand is a Halloween game to sell during "fright night" season. It's not a system seller
