Soon it will be time to venture out of the safe confines of the Vault and into the irradiated wasteland of Fallout 3. We took the game for an all-too-brief demo during E3 and came away both impressed and disappointed.

As stated in the article, it's kind of hard to assess Fallout 3 in a 30-minute window. There wasn't any time to get into the black humor, moral choices, character progression and dialogue. And that's probably why Bethesda chose not to make a demo of the game for public consumption.

I do say there old fella I approve of your forum avatar.

On the topic, fallout 3 is going to be dandy - combat sounds very mass effect-ish

I have mixed feelings about Fallout 3. I love Bethesda, I love RPGs, I love FPS, I love dark humour, I loved the series...but for some reason, this title doesn't appeal to me all that much.

My RPG sense tells me Diablo III will be a better RPG adventure...and I'll stick to real FPS if I want my FPS fix.

I just think Fallout 3 is not adventuristic enough (just made up a word)...crumbled buildings will just get old fast IMO. I'm not a hater, but my guts tell me this title won't be what I'd expect from the Fallout series. They did a good job with Oblivion but I wonder how they can make Fallout 3 stand out (other than just hyping the Fallout Franchise).

My 2 cent.
