Fallout 3 can't come soon enough

Any RPG player worth his gamer badge would acknowledge the Fallout series as one of the genre’s all time classics. The post nuclear setting mixed with 50’s era vibe, the memorable characters , the SPECIAL system, and the way you could turn your foes’ torsos into chunks of flesh when using the Minigun (the splatter sounds were glorious), all woven into a deep and open RPG experience.

The sequel has been a long time coming. I’m a little apprehensive with the treatment Bethesda is giving it (don’t get me wrong, I loved Oblivion, and Morrowind, and even Daggerfall), specially since the previews have been ranging from flat out ecstatic to cautiously optimistic. I’m sure it won’t capture all of the magic that the previous games have, but hey I still can’t wait to play it. It’s easily one of my most anticipated for this year and I’ll probably lose countless hours playing it.

Gametrailers have put up a fantastic retrospective on the series, and it sure ain’t helping my anxiety. I’m not sure when the release date for the Asian version is but I really hope it isn’t too far off from the North American release. Here’s hoping the game lives up to the insanely high standards that the previous games have set (excluding that console version shown on the video, holy shit that looks terrible).
