    Somewhat addicting but kind of repetitive

    Ok, I knew that this game had not so much to do with the real Fallout PC games, so I wasn't expecting too much. I put a good 8 hours into it before finally giving up and thinking to myself I am done with this - its a go... Read Full Review

    Hey, this game was not bad. Kind of like Half-Life mixed with BioShock, mixed with like 20 other games, which did make it feel kind of a clone, but one worth playing, especially if you can find it for under $20 like I d... Read Full Review

    I really don't know about this game. I mean it's Halo and all, but you play as a normal soldier and not Master Chief, so a little blah. They have some made up story that I didn't care about the story or the characters.... Read Full Review
