An exquisite game,set in a post apocalyptic world after a nuclear exchange. The games brilliance comes from music,atmosphere and the weaving of the overall story. It's bleak,depressing,eerie and gritty. The 50's retro theme fits perfectly with the nuclear war plot and pulp comic sci-fi science&technology. The high-tech world that is described is done in a 1950's motif, giving excellent atmosphere and feeling.
The game itself is an rpg with somewhat non-linear gameplay. You are confined to the story ultimately, but still have a fair degree of freedom. The game is loads of fun any way you play and is equally interesting from start to finish.
If you understand what the guys at Interplay were going for you'll see what an amazing game this is.
If i had to describe the series with colours: fallout 1 is black,fallout 2 is green, and fallout:tactics is pink for being so gay

The fallout series- the best series of non-fantasy RPG's ever. Good for people who are sick of beards, magic swords and crap, and want a bleak, futuristic setting with drugs, violence, guns, ho's, etc.

Fallout: New Vegas 

Fallout: New Vegas is the most recent game in the Fallout franchise to date, and unlike Fallout 3, it was developed by Obsidian Entertainment, rather than Bethesda Softworks. It adds many new features, such as the Reputation system, which allows you to have different reputations with different factions, rather than the same for all factions. The downside is that the old system, the Karma system, no longer affects gameplay. There are several new additions of ammunition that did not exist in the previous game, such ass the 9mm, the 50 MG, and several others. They also added new weapons to accompany those types of ammunition. They added several new creatures that did not exist in the predecessor as well. The environment is much less depressing than Fallout 3, because rather than ruined buildings and broken up roads, they have an almost beautiful irradiated dedert to travel in. Once you get to the New Vegas area, the lighting of the Strip is beautiful. People complain about bugs, but bugs can be fixed which makes the argument that the game is a piece of shit because of simple bugs is ridiculous. In my opinion, Obsidian did a good ass job on the game and followed (maybe even exceeded)Bethesda's standards. There are more locations, more things to do, more everything. And all is fucking amazing. Buy a copy, it'll do you well.
