Fallout 3

Nobody said the wasteland would be full of birds and flowers. But does Fallout 3 have life as a sequel to one of the most beloved RPG franchises ever? Tom Chick reviews.

Fabulous to hear you had a good time, but if you've looked at the forums a good chunk of us who shelled out money for this game aren't able to play it because its broken. From errors on installation to sound driver incompatibility to black screen freezes to a myriad of crashes. Even taking into account that the nature of the PC makes a perfect launch near impossible, this is way to wide spread, and you really addressed none of that in your review.

I hear the enemy difficulty is scaled to your level. Is this true / did you find it problematic at all?

I bought it through Steam and played thru until you get out of the vault and head to Megaton last night ... not bad so far, altho the controls are a little janky. I actually felt like Oblivion had smoother control. Here, when I let go of "W" my guy keeps moving forward for a bit, and it's disconcerting. Also, I sincerely hope that there are ways to make my dude run faster, because right now even when not overloaded, he seems crippled.

I'm playing on the PC and I'm really enjoying it. Your review pretty much matches to my experience playing the game. I'm happy with it. I just hope they release the mod tools so we can see what the community does with the game, the community greatly improved Oblivion.

Even with all the great gameplay and side quests i feel that the main quest is really short and of great dissapointment. Not to mention you have to load from a previous save point to continue playing because after main quest is complete game is really over. Too bad... i dont think its worth the 60$

I started this game and had some issues with the controls. I'm playing on a PC but have had success in the past with other PC games where the movement and combat was significantly better. That said, once I decided to read the instructions (yes, that took about one or two sessions until I broke down and figured out that I needed some help) I really began enjoying this game.

The VATS targeting system is pretty cool. Then once I had my first few kills under my belt, i quickly became a hoarder of

didn't realize I had a limit on characters. Anyway, to finish my thought, I enjoy the collecting of stuff, the barter for things I really want (like a missile launcher or laser gun). The number of choices you are forced to make here are simply amazing and I think make the game well worth the $50 I spent downloading it from Best Buy.

The games we're pulling together in this feature won't appear on any of those best-of lists and get confused looks when you mention them in conversation. Just because time has forgotten these titles, though, doesn't mean you should forget them, too.
