#20 - Fallout 3 (360, 2008)


I didnt like Dead Space very much. I really thought it would be RE4 but in space and thatd be right up my alley, but nah, not really. I guess it just isnt the same without a wise-cracking protagonist. I regretted my purchase of it.

But then my friend gave me an out. Hey, Ill trade you my copy of Fallout 3 for Dead Space. Now that was pretty exciting. I tried Morrowind a few years after it came out and it was OK. Oblivion came out the year after I tried Morrowind, and I liked that even more. It came pretty close to making my list. But I had heard Fallout 3 was dubbed as Oblivions + Guns, and the idea was pretty enticing, just not really enough for me to jump onto trying it. But if the only price I had to pay was a game I didnt really like, then what was there for me to lose?

Turns out that was the best trade of my entire life. From the very beginning, I was super hooked. The opening hour or so, where you grow up in a vault underground was incredibly gripping, and the circumstances for having to leave were alluring. The first time the game loads the open world, and the protagonists eyes have to adjust to the sun he is seeing for the very first time is one of my most vivid gaming memories. Its such a powerful moment.

From there, I was off. It was time to kill stuff, talk to people, blow up some cities, gain some new, hilarious perks, and just have me a grand ol time. The story is alluring, the quests are neat, the writing is superb, the shooting and VATS system are both intuitive; everything in this game is just fun. Even if theres nothing immediate to do, just running around and finding new things is just fun.

I would be remiss in not mentioning the games DLC, which is some of the best video games have ever had to offer. All of them have strengths and weaknesses, but theyre all well worth the cost of entry.
