So I started playing Bethseda Software's latest title, Fallout 3, yesterday. This game is absolutely awesome. Imagine if you played the original Fallout combined with the latest Half Life. It is amazing, simply stated and bold, but no less true.

The game play is ideally suited to PCs, thankfully! In my opinion Bethseda screwed themselves with Oblivion IV by having an almost retarded key mapping, making it almost impossible to play. They definitely learned from their mistakes with this release. Playing Fallout 3 is a treat the majority of the controls center around the gamers faithful 'WASD' without making any actions feel awkward.

The graphics are amazing, you get pulled into this world of destruction and hopeless endurance easily. You can run anywhere, there are no load times or zone changes except when you enter a building. I played yesterday for about 12 or more hours and now sit at level 5.

Two words of warning thoguh, if you don't have the power to push this game things in the distance will not appear until you get within a set distance of them, unfortunately this refers to bad guys as well. The other item worth noting is that you can get really lost really fast, especially early on.

Other than that, possibly the best game I have ever played, definitely the best this year. Hands down.
