Let's be frank here. Fallout 3 is indeed an RPG in which you talk to people to get the game moving along. You also do combat to get the game moving along. This game is neither Gears of War, Halo, Half-Life or Call of Duty 4. These are all great games (to me) in their own right. And is Fallout 3 supposedly. And yes, Scott, the Fallout universe, even in Fallout 3, is supposed to be bleak and depressing. Living in the Wasteland after the 'bomb' is not that fun.... It is OK to not like Fallout 3 for private or personal reasons; the task assigned is still to review the game. Being a journalist, you should be able to distance yourself from the game in question. You need to be able to look at things somewhat objectively; this means that if you review and rpg, you need to review the game on its own merits; when you review a a shooter you compare it to other shooters and so on and so forth...
