The Review
Welcome to the wasteland of the old US of A. Its dark, damp full of radiation and everyone's welcome after all it is the land of opportunity.
The story
Fallout is simply put a game about surival in a war torn earth, everything from people to roaches have been mutated and people struggle to find water of all things.
You begin life in vault 101, an underground shelter where people fled when the bombs dropped and when i say begin life I mean it as you play your life up until teens years in the vault. It is really unique and draws you straight into the game. After everything goes pear shaped,(which is a saying that really doesn't make sense) you leave the fault and you make your own way in the world from adventure to side quests you do to the places you see the wasteland is huge.

What remains of couch-multiplayer:
|
When I first started writing drafts for this article I was going to write about the next-gen consoles leaving out good ol' couch; but after mulling over it, I came to the conclusion that both online and couch multiplayer are equally in use, though they are separated by the console boundaries.
Recently I've noticed that a lot of FPS's seem to be online-multiplayer only and that there is no couch-multiplayer mode in these games. "What a pain" I thought to myself, 360 controller in hand, sat next to a Wii owner. Clearly we would not be playing this game together any time soon. My miserable-cynical-git side of me is thinking that this is a money making strategy of: if you don't have our console, you can't play our games. But maybe couch-multiplayer is truly dying out, and game developers think it's not worth the effort to chuck in a split screen function and whatever else programming needs to be done.
Peter Molyneux once said "the thing that makes your [gaming] generation different from any other isn't the graphics or technology, it's that you are all connected". For once I'm going to only half agree with Sir Molyneux on this. The bond between...

Typical day of online gaming.
|
I am a girl gamer. This, of course, means I'm female and I like to play video games. However, when you put those two words together... Weird stuff happens. The world of a girl gamer is very different from that of other gamers. And it tends to be really, really annoying.
So here, in no particular order (or, rather, the order in which they pop into my head as I type) are one girl gamer's pet peeves. Drumroll, please.
1. Idiotic Conversations.
"I bet your boyfriend loves you." If I have one, he better love me for more than that.
"How did you get into video games?" Same way you did, moron. It wasn't a covert operation.
"That's sexy." Not really.
2. Girl Gamers who Objectify Themselves.
Do a Google Images search for "girl gamer" and you'll find plenty of pictures of girl gamers... many of them nude and posing with their consoles/controllers covering their naughty bits. Way to strike a blow for girl gamers everywhere, girls. And WTF? In what world does "console porn" even make sense??? Call me wacky, but I prefer to use my video game controllers to control my video games - not to take the place of key...
