I'm sorta hyped for it and at the same time I'm turned off by it.

I keep on telling myself that it is Fallout 3, my favourite series I've ever played was being updated.

After I played Oblivion for a good 50-60 hours, I was worried that it was going to be Oblivion with guns.

Not to say Oblivion is a bad game but it wouldn't fit with Fallout. I'll still get it just to check it out but I doubt I'll be blown away.

I love games because it allows you enter another world, to interact with new things all around you.

If done right, games allow you to do things you could only do in your dreams and so on.

I'll say it. Yes, 2008 = the greatest year ever in gaming. To those who say otherwise, take off the rose colored glasses and look around. Look at what's been released this year.

GTA4, SSB: Brawl, MGS4, Little Big Planet, Chains of Olympus, The World Ends With You, Rock Band 2, World of Goo, Wii Fit, Fable II, Braid, Spore. And there's still two months to go. Gears 2 is still coming which will be huge, and there's still plenty of time to be surprised by other games on the horizon.

We have 3 consoles hitting their stride and 2 handhelds at their peak. All genres have received something new and great. No year has ever seen this much quality at this level of quantity. It might not be the most revolutionary year, but revolutionary and quality don't have to go hand in hand.

I agree with you. I loved StarCraft, Fallout 2 and Baldur's gate.

My favourite year hands down in terms of overall would still be 1998. In fact, I'm installing some of them right now cause of this thread XD.

A Baldur's Gate 3

PlaneScape Torment 2 (At least a game LIKE it)

Saints Row 3

Civ 4

Is there anyway I can delete all of my reviews easy?

This is one of my problems with people today, if the graphics aren't tip top, it's an automatic fail. If it looks a bit next-gen, it can never get a 9 or higher. And yes, us oldbie gamers do have a bit of nostalgia for our past. But I replayed some of my older games and by golly, I liked it more.

I remember some of my friends came to my house so we could play a game or two on my X-Box (The OLD ONE) and they noticed me playing Baldur's Gate 2, they laughed the whole day asking how I could play a 2d game. I answered "Because it's better then some of the **** released today?".

I loved both.... So I'll leave it up to you.

Fallout 2 if you can wait through the beginning.

Fallout 1 if you want to start a fun game at the beginning.
