But now your father has defied the Overseer and left the Vault for reasons you don't know. You must find him and discover the truth before it is too late.Fallout 3 immerses you in an environment where the great monuments of the United States lie in ruin and danger lurks around every corner. Super-deluxe HD graphics render the Wasteland in eye-popping detail, from the danger-filled offices and Metro tunnels of D.C. to the rotten flesh of a mutant's face. Choose from dozens of unique skills and perks to customize your character. Experience the post-apocalyptic world from either a 1st-person or 3rd-person perspective with the touch of a button. Inflict death and destruction through the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System, which allows you to pause time in combat, aim for specific body parts on your target and queue up attacks. In Fallout 3, you make the decisions that define you and that change the world.

Fallout 3 is by far the best game I have ever played. This game is totally addicting. I have played this game for over 6 months and am still playing the DLC and mopping up missions I have not finished. The world is totally open so you can feel free to explore every town, building and nook and crannie to find all the caps, weapons, stimpaks and other goodies. I literally jumped out of my seat a couple of times when a ghoul popped out unexpectedly. The absolute best part is that while you have a mission to perform you are not required to do it immediately (in most cases) so you can take your time and look around. I did not play any of the previous Fallout games but I can't wait until Fallout: New Vegas comes out. I nearly tackled a fellow tech-head to steal his pip-boy pin! Enjoy!
What's great about it: Complete imersion into the Fallout 3 world
