Fallout 3

When someone mentions Fallout 3, most people think, "Hell of a game". They would think that because is flipping amazing and the setting of the game might as well be hell. The game takes place about 200 years in the future and is set in Washington DC about 70 years into the aftermath of a nuclear war. Even though the bombs dropped a long time ago, there are still things mutated and f***ed up beyond belief trying to kill you.
This RPG has released from the vault and places you in the expansive universe of the wasteland. While the whole thing may be open world, the question how far while you make it in the world without getting killed. Even on the easy difficulty I found this game very difficult and long to complete. I had a blast (pun) playing this game, though. The graphics are very good escpecially when you have a "bloody mess" perk on and everything you kill ends up being, well... a bloody mess. The sound is excellent, I loved the voiceovers. The music from the 50s I didn't love so much but they fit the setting of the game. The story was kind of hazy at first but once you got into the game it was quite amazing. The VATS shooting is also very cool. VATS allows you to stop time and pinpoint a specific place to shoot.
Overall this game is definitely a must play. But if you don't own it and just rent it, you probably won't see it's full potential. There is also DLC, (unless you buy the GoTY edition) so there is tons of lasting appeal. This game scores a lucrative score of 9.6/10.
