Visual crack likes Fallout 3

Even I know Half Life is not an RPG, its an FPS. I would have thought that was obvious from the fact that you shoot things. A lot.

To be fair, you'll be shooting things a lot in Fallout. There's just no crosshairs. Or Barney ):

The initial grab for me was the teaser trailer. There’s no game play, no action, I doubt it’s even a real cut scene from the game. But… wow. The music is a perfect contrast to the video and even for the game itself. The posters are reminiscent of the 50’s in their style, which makes sense due to that era really focusing the Cold War and, subsequently, nuclear holocaust on the American mind. At the end we are treated to a voice-over by none other than Ron Perlman, the man who did the voice-overs for all the Fallout games (and who is also responsible for a wicked cool portrayal of Hellboy on the silver screen)

*sigh*
Now isn't that symptomatic? That's exactly the reason why anyone who writes about video-games professionaly or semi-profesionally should know his basic video gaming history facts.

The trailer that grabbed him/her so much is just a very badly done rip-off of the fantastic FO1 intro sequence. Of course to know that, he/she would have needed to play the original Fallout...

Anyways, at least the writer admits that he never played Fallout, unlike those "great" FO1 fans over at gamespot at IGN who feel to emphasize it in the first paragraph of their FO3 previews only to rant then how the older Fallouts are outdated and its time for something new...

"I am no racist but those black people..."
"I am no antisemite, but those zionists in Isreal and their war crimes..."
"I am a really great Fallout Fan, but..."
