Fallout 3

Definitely the case, and in fairness it dropped smack in the middle of Fable 2 and Gears of War 2, and although it does hold its own against both of those, if not possibly betters, I can understand why some wouldn't get excited about it.

I agree, the relese date for this was a pretty stupid move, because it isn't imediately obvious which genre this game falls into then it needed something extra to get it into the public eye. Although there are a number of die hard Fallout fans out there there was even some doubt if they would accept it. I think waiting until a lul in the release calender might have made a huge difference to the impact this game has had. That said I think it will grow in monentum.

for me this is a better experience than Fable 2, where Fable 2 is cute and for me knocks all the previous arcade RPG/ JRGPs so far on the 360 into a cocked hat, Fallout 3 is just a better, more free form more rounded experience. I have no interest in playing Fable anymore, once I got launched into the endgame I knew I wouldn't go back, F3 on the otherhand I probably will play again and this is high praise indeed from me because I just don't replay games. In fact I'll almost certainly trade Fable 2 for Gears next week whereas like Oblivion, F3 will stay on the shelf

I agree, for me this should have been delayed at least 2 further weeks, if not a month and had it's go at being the major December game. It's a shame to say really because this game IS of a quality and standard (and pedigree) high enough to compete with any title on the format, which is almost certainly why it has been released, but the majority don't buy games religiously, but if you said to the average gamer that within a week you can choose between Fallout 3 or Gears of War 2 I know what the majority would buy.

Hell, I knew what Fallout 3 was all about and how good it would be and I'd still go for Gears of War 2 first .

Ooh, forgot to ask; has anyone found any Bobbleheads yet, and if so, which ones? I got the lockpick Bobblehead. I'm struggling to remember where it was though - somewhere in the Northeast I think.

Edit: I also found the Abe Lincoln Action Doll!

Edit 2: The Bobblehead was in the Bethesda Offices!

It's one of the best features. The music adds to the atmosphere making the whole experience more immersive.

Loving it so far. Phenomenal game.
