I was very fortunate to find a sleek Playstation 3 under the Christmas tree this year. My wife's generosity is unbounded; considering we have only one TV and I have a compulsive nature - once plugged in, I can sit oblivious to everything else for hours on end. Proof in point: once back home from the holidays, I managed to play Fallout 3 for over 10 hours. I finally conceded my frazzled state and slip into bed at about 4am: heart palpitations kept me wide awake for another 30 minutes.
For those uninitiated, Fallout 3 is one of the most awarded video games of 2008. IGN awarded Fallout 3 ....
....tops in 08. High praise indeed. Developed by Bethesda Game Studios over a number of years, the final version was released in October of 2008 to huge fanfare. Considered a combination of both the FPS (first person shooter), and the "Survival" genre, Fallout propels you into the future; a future where the cold war of the late fifties actually grew warm, and humanity survived tucked away in bomb shelters. The adventure begins as you venture out of the safety of Vault 101, and begin exploring Capital Wasteland (Washington DC).
For those not fate of heart, I would highly recommend this game: be prepared to spend some time.
