The next instalment, New Vegas, was still good but – with the benefit of hindsight – a little disappointing, perhaps a little rushed out after its predecessor. You can even read my old review of it from (the horror) 7 years ago. I’ve been playing video games a while (*cough* 35 years or so *cough*), so I actually fondly remember the ol’ isometric turn-based first Fallout, which in the late 90s presented one of the most original and interesting game worlds I’d ever experienced, a strange mix of retro and post-apocalypse with bags of atmosphere, wit, and moral ambiguity.įallout 3 was an absolute corker, revitalising an old niche property in 3d for a new console-using generation in much the same way Grand Theft Auto 3 did, really tapping into the rich atmosphere and humour of the original, and even maintaining some of the turn-based roleplaying vibe within what had essentially become a first-person shooter.
