"There's no denying its potential to be a grittier, more action heavy RPG than Oblivion ..."

"... we already love how Fallout 3 is shaping up."

"Fallout 3's been stamped "game of the year" with good reason. The moniker's subjective, obviously, but there's no doubt that Bethesda's RPG is up there with the likes of GTA IV and Gears of War 2 as one of the most anticipated of 2008."
Eurogamer Eurogamer
"... there's much to be excited about with Fallout 3."

"It's a solid project with a good pedigree from a proven developer, though, so it's almost certainly a sure bet."
Gamepro Gamepro
"We can't help but notice that Fallout 3 looks better and better each time we see it. The latest version boasts improved graphics, which were so detailed you could practically smell the ash in the air as you walked through the decaying streets of D.C."
Gametap Gametap
"In a genre that has way too many dragons and dungeons, a game taking place in a postnuclear future was a fine breath of fresh air."
UGO UGO
"It was precisely the game that Fallout fans were looking for, from the aesthetic to the gameplay to the PipBoy. It was proof enough that Bethesda knew what it was doing."
