I'll be playing a gazillion rentals over the next two months I'm sure, but this is the one game I'm buying.

Fallout done Oblivion style. I'm all over it. I've been anxiously awaiting this title for quite some time now. The 28th can't get here soon enough.

I'm with you both.. this one should be up there with GOW and Bioshock I'm hoping.

I am all over this game as well, as with many of the other titles that are coming out.

Definitely my most anticipated game this fall, even over GoW 2. The videos fished me in, and I like the idea of the targeted combat system based on your character's abilities.

After watching a bunch of preview vids of this game I just preordered it. The genre is not a huge favorite of mine but this game looks to be deep and very well done. Kinda reminds me of Half Life from watching the vids. I know its not from the HL mold but I seem to get the same feeling when watching the vids. I'm anxious to play this thing!

The previews suggest that the PC version is the one to get for graphics.

I've never played a Fallout game...but I bought this one. Seems huge, looks awesome.

Now that you're done with that, fellas...take that Fallout engine and do us an Old West world. Think Oblivion in Dodge City, Tombstone, Carson City...

They should do this with Stephen King's Dark Tower universe. Questing through Gilead would never get old.

That actually sounds very cool.

Doesn't it? Boy, what fun that'd be.

I've always though and Old West MMO would be a hit. Playing Cowboys and Native American (had to be PC) or Law man and Bank Robber would be fun as heck. Only way to do it is have permanent death though for your player.

I wonder how good TRU is at getting games....I have three games to get rid of....

If I pick up Fallout tomorrow on the PC...am I gonna be lost because I've never even heard of the series before, let alone 2 previous games...lol. What the hell kind of game is it? It looks kinda like an Oblivion type game, just in a different setting. Is that fair to say?

It's safe to say playing Fallout 3 is not going to be like 1 & 2. F3 is a first person rpg like Oblivion but set in a post nuclear Washington DC. The first two were excellent isometric rpg's.

I think you would be fine playing Fallout 3 without knowing anything about the first 2.

Cool...I played the hell out of Oblivion (and it took out my first two 360s, lol)...so if it's structured like that, I'll be down. Was just worrying that I'd miss out on the story or whatever.

IGN Review. Seems the reviewer really liked it. Can't wait to give it a spin.

All the reviews have either been a 10 or in the upper 90's. Decisions, decisions? Do I torrent the PC version or do I get the 360 version at Circuit City with a $10 GC and free strategy guide?

I'm actually leaning on the 360 ATM. I'm not sure if my PC will be able to run this game? Too bad CC doesn't have the same deal for the PS3.

It's been described as Oblivion with guns. And I believe there is no leveling of enemies, which is cool.

I'm getting this today. Can't wait to play it.

DB--

I feel the same way. Gametrailers.com has a "retrospective" of the first two games, where they tell you the plot, how the game was developed, etc. Definitely will give you a better idea of what the series is all about.

I'm picking it up today...but I have to turn it over to the wife as she's keeping it for a Christmas present.

WHAAA!? Surely you can negotiate a better arrangement.

LOL, I had to do that with Rock Band last year. It was a long few weeks until Christmas.
