I found that I liked playing 3 MUCH more than I did 4. Total win for me. Can't wait to try more of the Fallout franchise!

And if game bugs really annoy you, A: Understand that it's the price you pay for a bethesda game and B: This is the game to play over new vegas. However since game bugs don't 'bug' me nearly as much as some people (a single game bug or quest hang can put them off entirely) - I still prefer new vegas. It's got more crazy random content.That said, in many regards this game has stood the test of time perfectly. And thanks to modding on the pc, you can play an all new game when or if you ever get tired of skyrim. This is an 8.9/10 now. And was a 10/10 on release. Rounds out to a 9/10 on metacritic.

Great graphics, great storyline (you choose your own path), you can be, who you want to be. can help who you want to help, kill who you wantGreat graphics, great storyline (you choose your own path), you can be, who you want to be. can help who you want to help, kill who you want to kill, talk you trough stuff.Fallout 3: Game of the year edition is probably one of the best games I ever have played, and ever will play. I would recommend it to everyone, it's worth every coin. - Though there is a lot of problems with it and windows 7-64 bit, I will give it 10 out of 10, I'm playing it on 64-bit, it was hard to get to work, but now I can't stop playing. :)

This game was the bomb of the RPG genre. Going around, shooting people with your Gatling laser, totally worth the 30 bucks. I would recommendThis game was the bomb of the RPG genre. Going around, shooting people with your Gatling laser, totally worth the 30 bucks. I would recommend this game to anyone because it actually makes sense, unlike Borderlands when you just find a key for a gay Vault, this has a True story. And this is working fine on a Single Core AMD Athlon 3500+
