We ring in the new year with a post-apocalyptic strategy war game. Fallout 3 takes place in the year 2277 and is 200 years after a nuclear war broke out between the USA and China shortly after World War 2. The character that you play is an inhabitant of Vault 101 which is a nuclear shelter that was created to protect the survivors of the nuclear blast. The character that you play in the game has his father disappear under mysterious circumstances and you must venture out into post-apocalyptic Capital Wasteland (Washington D.C.) in order to find him. The game was originally being created by Black Isle Studios who made the two previous Fallout games but their studio Interplay Entertainment went bankrupt and the game’s rights were sold to Bathesda Softworks who went on to create the partially completed game completely from scratch without using any of the previous code from Balck Isle Studios. The game got positive reviews from critics and fans alike and received several awards including Best game at the Developer’s Choice awards and the Best Game of 2008 award from IGN Entertainment. The game has since released five downloadable content games for XBOX Live that can be downloaded for a fee from the online service. The quote we bring you is the same quote used in the opening sequence or trailers for the game which discuss the effects of war on humanity…
| “War. War never changes. Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything, from God to justice to simple, psychotic rage.” |
