Fallout 3

Posted by Seth Davis

It has been a long time since the first two versions of Fallout. A post-apocalyptic game with a dark sense of humor and a 1950's style. Now finally after over 10 years the franchise is being reborn by the developers of the immensely popular Oblivion. A role playing game known for its "sand box" openness and an ability to spend hours exploring a huge world of possibilities.

When it was announced that Bethesda Softworks had bought the rights to develop Fallout, fans of the original games hoped for the classic turn based approach, look, and detailed character creation. Oblivion fans wanted a game with no loading screens, fun quests and graphics that pushed their computers to the limits. It seems as news comes out that both sides will have something to be happy about.

Occurring 200 years after the second game you will once again set out from a vault to explore the wastelands of America. By all reports you will have limitless freedom to visit almost any place you want from the destroyed capital to the great monuments of the United States. Players will be able to switch from 1st or 3rd person view. Thus old and new school players will be satisfied.

In addition the quests will offer more branching paths, good or evil? There are rumors that the game will have hundreds of different endings based on your choices. And players will have the option of "pausing time" in combat, and playing turn based. Again satisfying both old and new school players. Many actors and talents are being used for this anticipated game that is expected to be a big hit this Fall.
