    1 Week and counting!

    I'm really looking forward to receiving this.

    I don't worry about reviews written by people who use "By clicking the right bumper on the Xbox 360 controller ". Dismissed.

    I'll wait for a non-kiddie review or first hand experience.

    That's just one guy's opinion. Let's wait to see what the other critics and our fellow AKers think.

    For what it's worth, Official XBOX Magazine gave the game a stellar review, a snippet from which follows (from Metacritic.com): "Games this captivating do not come along often. Between its engrossing story, ginormous world, well-crafted RPG side, and white-knuckle FPS combat, Fallout 3 completely, utterly gives you your $60 worth."

    Did I read this right? Shooter? They made this a FPS?

    If you were a zombie and I had to kill you, I'd feel sad.

    Oh my, you really haven't been paying attention at all.

    It's an RPG, (it's built on the Oblivion engine), and combat is FPS. You can stop combat and do aimed shots, provided you save up enough action points or whatever.

    It's more single player WoW than Half Life 2. Go watch some of the vids I linked in this thread. Particularly Karma and Weapons. They're awesome.

    No, I haven't. Much like you have been avoiding any WOTLK previews I have been doing the same with Fallout 3 so things surprise me.

    Why did they feel they had to get rid of the turn based, small unit tactics? That's part of the game I really liked.

    It looks like a very different game. Part of the charm was that '50s, cold-war vibe it had as well.

    Yes, this is a very, very different kind of game. It has great potential and at the same time may be a titanic letdown.
