Fallout 3 - A Look Back @ Those Gamers

Mike McGrath of Those Gamers published an article that takes a look back at Fallout 3.

Let’s go all the way back to 2008. The Spice Girls had finished their reunion tour and 14 year old Mike’s biggest worry was figuring out what the new Call of Duty was going to be. I’d seen Fallout 3 in all of the gaming magazines but paid little attention to it. RPG was a dirty word to me as I associated it with Final Fantasy type games, so when a mate asked me whether to buy Fallout 3 or Resistance 2, I immediately said Resistance 2. Looking back I have never been so happy to be ignored in my life because a week later I got my first taste of a game that would forever change my gaming habbits. I knew I loved Fallout 3 when the first enemy (a dog of all things) just jumped out of a bush and scared the livin Jesus out of me. The next day I went out and bought the game myself and have been playing it ever since.
