Welcome to the future, it's bleak, it's bloody, it's dark and yet, it's undeniably enchanting. Fallout 3 is very much Bethesda's game, if you've played Oblivion you'll notice a lot of similarities: it's open ended and vast, so vast it would probably take a hundred hours to explore the entire post-apocalyptic wasteland. It's also better than Oblivion; it's tighter, more focused and more immersive. No longer are you a great warrior in a clichéd fantasy world, but a young exile, brought up in the confines of a bomb shelter known as Vault 101, searching the nuked remains of Washington D.C. for your dad.
