Between fast action-packed fights with fucked up and deformed humanoids, strategic role playing, and 100's of weapons you wont be disappointed with Bethesda's, Fallout 3.
Fallout 3 is a story of a boy who grows up in a vault, and at the age of 19 exits the vault to a vast post apocalyptic wasteland destroyed by a nuclear war. In this wasteland you encounter everything from over sized mutants to deformed vicious animals. As a boy you acquired what is called a pip boy. This device allows you to add points which you acquire through a leveling system that you can use to increase your attributes in over 10 different stats. You can be a cunning thief or a charming man who uses intelligence and charisma to achieve his goals, the choice is yours. The pip boy also allows for a combat system called V.A.T.S. (Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System) V.A.T.S. allows you to pause the game and strategically place shots or melee hits on various organs on your opponent. Depending on where you hit them depends on the effects it has. So you can either run and gun or slow your game down and strategize to your liking.
In Fallout 3 you will encounter many characters in which you will aid or resist. Depending on your decision to aid them depends directly upon how you play your game. For instance, in the beginning of the game you can choose to aid a man trying explode a town or turn in the man for trying to do so. If you choose to explode the town you will no longer be able to access the many shops it has to offer as well as any quests that would come from the people who reside there.
In Fallout 3 there are 100's of weapons you can choose to use. Between axes and rockets launchers im sure you will find your weapon of choice. Along with these weapons there are secret guns and unlocks you can acquire that will keep you playing for hours.
From high caliber shootouts to strategic role playing this game will keep you on your toes for over 50 hours. Given that you can change the game so much upon a single decision the replay value of this game is amazing. I give this game 10/10 for Action RPG.
