+A genuinely compelling story that you want to follow.

+ Massive, rich world that you want to explore for a loooong time.

+Intense, challenging combat.

?Can someone make a real-life Pip-boy? That'd kick some i-phone ***.

They say there are great side quests and twists that they defenitly don't want to spoil (when you find tranquility, you'll know what we mean). You can do anything you want when you get out of the vault. There are 3-4 different endings but rare few who go back and play different ways will see more than that. Not sure what that means. Two minor complaints are your character doesn't talk and can't fast-travel unless outside. Make sure you complete everything first before clearly finishing what is the last mission because once it's over there is no going back and playing indefinitly afterwards unlike Oblivion. Now, I'm defenitly getting this game.

Yes, its a good thing to think about. I feel Dead Space was an amazing game and I fell in love with it... Does that mean I may cheat on it and sleep with Fallout 3? Who knows?

Hmm... that is a bit wierd, but I was expecting a 9.5 for Fallout 3, so this isn't too much of a surprise.

OXM is so horrible and sporadic at reviewing.I've never trusted them one bit.

Look at what they gave Dead Space...6.5...that's laughable.

I went to this one website where it said that a 6.5 for Dead Space was a rumor, and the reviewer's main complaint was that it was TOO repetitive, sounds like Assassins Creed.

Exactly, I've played Fallout 3 @ a friends house and man it's worth no 10. Dead Space is more worthy of a 10. OXM has really dropped the ball on this one. What was their reviewer smokin? Dead Space is simply wayyyyy above a 6.5.

Ok first, how did you get Fallout 3 already? Pretty cool...

And second, the woman who reviewed Dead Space knows nothing about games, read the positive and negative marks she makes. They are almost opposite of what everyone else says.

They gave it that rating because you had to loot every 3 seconds in containers and lockers and even logs were in them. It was also reviewed by a woman so she may not have same interest as men. If you are to criticize review scores, this website gave GTA IV a 10 when so many other games could have been.

Yeah I've noticed that OXM hate repetetive games which why they gave Assasins Creed such a low score yet they give Gears a 10 (I think) and they don't call that game reptetive (still love Gears though).

Anyways this score is really firing me up and I can't wait till the 28th.

Yeah that's pretty weird. Aside from a few nitpicks I can't honestly think of a single problem with it. Certainly nothing that would warrent giving it a 6.5

Edit: Dead Space is no more repetitive than say Gears or GTAIV. To take off that much for that is just idiotic.

I totally agree.. and Gamespot who's anal about most games gave it a 9.0, and in this case, I would believe GS and IGN over OXM any day of the week. OXM has been giving absurd reviews this whole year so I find them not credible.

When it comes to this particular game, I don't care who gave what and when(but Gamespot of course;)), because I'm not holding it in my hands trembeling with anticipation. No, the only problem I have with this game right now is trying to keep my expectaions just under fever pitch so I'm not dissapointed when it isn't FRIGGIN EPIC I'm assuming it is. Let's all wait and find out together what kind of score it deserves, shall we?.

oxm are the worst mag out, they over rate all the exlusives and come down hard on the games that are on ps3 as well. dont get me wrong im getting fo3 i loved oblivion and can see it easy being in the 85-90+% range but oxm give 10s out like my mam does hot dinners look at they past reviews soo many 10s, they even downgraded some reviews after complaints, which kinda kills they creda bility. but shud be a great game everyone knows that, but 10 from oxm means nothing, the mags a joke and just bums microsoft so it keeps the licence to print the offical xbox magazine. ia int played the game so cant judge but im expecting high marks from the previews for it. but oxm aint even worth taking they opionin and getting exicted over it, check out previous 10s which include perfect dark zero

oxm have to give great reviews or they wont get the games to review first or be the offical xbox mag, the mags the biggest advertisement for xbox u will see in any mag. its as if micirsoft wrote the reviews themself. gotta agree over ur choice over oxm. but i make my own mind up if im getting a game, id rather look on this forum than any review and see why people are bigging up or bashing the game and in one topic thats over a page long you get more a true idea about the pros and cons to the extreme of the games than you do off one person in a mag who has pressure from they editors, advertisers and publishers who have to protect they main source of income (adverts) so often it can result in some games getting under/overrated if they are main sponsers of the mags.some sources better than others but fourms like this for games usually give u the real idea of how a cross spread of gamers feel from those who hardly play games but like forums to thoses who are obessed - neither of these has anything to gain or loose so speak they mind. much better than paying for a mag or trailing over loads of sites to compare scores when u can hear the voices of the gamers or just know ur own taste and think ill buy this. sure u might get a poor game once in a while but sometimes u get games and see the reviews and think well i like it so im glad i bought it before reading a page of a journalist slagging it off. sometimes i wonder how long they play the games, to completion? for a week, few hours? just a day? so many games to check out i think some reviews are made too fast.

Sweet!

Though I read the title as "OXM gives Fallout a 3 out of 10!" Guess I have dyslexia lol.
