Fallout 3

Fallout 3 is the best post-apocalyptic,action, and role-playing game that I have ever played. It was developed and published by Bethesda Softworks as the third installment in the Fallout series. This game is made only for computer and consoles(ps3 and xbox 360) I love the storyline, exploration, game play, and the free will of mostly doing anything in the game. It doesn't give you a straight forward mission wherever you have to go and mostly do whatever it tells you like a few other games. In Fallout 3, you can do mostly anything you want and gives you a lot of options to keep you occupy in the game, so you will never get bored. You can just forget about the main mission and still have a great time playing it.
The storyline takes place in a post-apocalyptic, Washington, D.C after a nuclear war between the US, China, and other countries. It caused a great deal of damage and destruction everywhere on Earth. After a period of time, the lands have changed, and a few people have survived this horror. You start off in the game living with your father as a young inhabitant of Vault 101, an underground fallout shelter to keep the people away from the dangerous radioactive exposure outside. One day, your dad has vanish into the outside world without an explanation, and now your trying to search for him in the dangerous unknown world. You will encounter many things in the game as you proceed forward and explore new things. There are about over 100 locations in this game that will take you hours of exploring every single one. I love this kind of exploring, because it gives you so much things to do and learn while not getting bored easily doing one thing. It's so much fun playing this game, because you will learn new things every time and still have many more to explore.
The game play is pretty unique where you can either play first person mode or third person. There is also a V.A.T.S system where you can fight your enemies in one move, sometimes showing it in slow motion and even the bullet of your gun traveling to the target. There is also a karma system, which affects your player's status in the game. You can be either good or evil depending on your action toward conversation and combat choices.
In the game, you get to customize your character on how he/she looks which gives you a lot of options for the person. You get to customize every detail of the person to the head, eyes, nose, mouth, and even the size of every part on your face. Its just incredible on how many things the game gives you to do. I love playing this game every time because of the many different possibilities you can do and still be something new to you. This game will never get old to me and I'm already excited for the new one coming out called Fallout: New Vegas.
