I just embarked on the journey of Fallout 3 and I have to say that the game is so large and so open ended that I find myself lost at times. Fallout 3 makes no attempt to hold your hand and instead throws you into an apocalyptic nuclear fallout equipped with a BB gun and a dream. The opening starts you as a child in the Vault where your civilization has hidden from the nuclear fallout, but quickly some events will transpire and you will be set loose into the world to fend for yourself. There are choices that need to be made very early on that will help shape your style of play and your moral character.
As you set foot outside of the Vault, you see a large world that has been decimated and you embark on a quest to locate your father. Good luck fending off rabid dogs, giant bugs and the occasional wasteland raiders. It is no secret that Fallout 3 has been dubbed “Oblivion with guns”, but after playing Oblivion, Fallout 3 makes that game look linear. Fallout also makes no attempt to teach you how to succeed, as it is entirely up to you to master how to use weapons, where to locate food and how to survive. I learned the hard way that if you get hit in the head, you will get dizzy and the screen will black out on you. Everything you carry has a weight associated with it, so carrying two tons of empty coffee mugs may not be helpful for your questing as you will be slowed down by the extra weight.
Here’s the new generation of commercial from Collins College trying to get you to become a game designer. Seriously, who are they trying to appeal to here? I’m guessing something with 7 brain cells that sits at home all day watching G4.
I have had some of the crappiest job on the planet, but this poor kid had to have the worst. This kid’s delivery route makes 1968 Vietnam look like Beverly Hills 90210. The ultimate kick in the nuts was Paperboy 2 where whoever got stuck being player 2 had the honor of being the papergirl. Ouch.
Here is an installment of our favorite foul mouthed game critic who never holds back his true feelings. With FF4:2 coming out soon, here is a video remembrance of the forgettable NES title, The Silver Surfer.
There is suppressed anger and then there is this guy. If you have not heard of the Angry Video Game Nerd, he is well, a nerd who is perennially pissed off at video games that supposedly ruined his childhood. Probably under the guise of his therapist, he is lashing out, angrily. Aside from the foul language, this is really worth watching. Might want to turn it down if at work. Otherwise, enjoy.
This user vid shows a player defeating the entire game and only getting hit twice in the entire single player campaign. Personally, I was never a Killer Instinct player because I was a MK junkie. This is still impressive nonetheless.
