"Games this captivating do not come along often. Between its engrossing story, ginormous world, well-crafted RPG side, and white-knuckle FPS combat, Fallout 3 completely, utterly gives you your $60 worth." |

4/4
"I doubt Fallout 3 will have to settle for second place in 2008; I can't imagine a more satisfying adventure coming out this year." |

Associated Press
4/4
"Bethesda's previous release, "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion," was my runner-up for game of the year in 2006. I doubt "Fallout 3" will have to settle for second place in 2008" |

"Awe-inspiring."
"The engrossing game-play and magnificent graphics, combined with generally small load times, make it all truly spectacular." |
 |
Empire Online
5/5
"Gratuitous gore, a colossal game world, the freedom to choose your own path and an elegantly ironic use of Ella Fitzgerald tunes also make Fallout 3 the most atmospheric game this side of BioShock, and the most captivating role-player since Oblivion helped breathe fresh air into a stagnant genre."
