Very highly regarded, though Fallout 3 is the first to be 3D and FPS.

Fallout 1 + 2 are imo two of the best RPGs ever made, however this is nothing to go by as:

1. Fallout 3 is being developed by a completely different company
2. Fallout 3 is nothing like Fallout 1 + 2 in terms of gameplay, the only similarity is the setting.

Reviews are rolling in, and fallout 3 is doing damn well, shame i don't trust reviews these days :/. This is certainly a must buy for me, if it's half as good as Fallout 1 then it'll still be one of the best games this year.

So can I just jump into the 3rd one without playing the first two then? And still enjoy it?

Yes

Absolutely. I would guess that there'll be lots of things in the game that you'll get if you've played the first 2 games (little in jokes maybe, or references to previous characters), but you won't need to know anything about the previous games to play this. You could always go here to read more about the series if you want

I hope this lives up to the hype. I've seen some gameplay footage recently and the NPC movement looked a bit weird: quite wooden and old-fashioned.

I' pre ordered this this morning after deliberating between it and fable 2. Gotta be honest, I'm chuffing excited about this game randomly, completely new to the series tbut this just looks like fun to muck around with.

Can't wait. can't wait. can't wait. Just hope it plays on a geforce6600GT until payday.

Bloody annoying that the Americans get it on the 28th and we have to wait till the 31st

The reviews have started to come in.....

Needless to say, with scores like that, I'm even more excited than I already was!
