Fallout 3 (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)

So you're not convinced the world is going to end in 2012. You saw Return to Thunderdome and decided you liked the 2Pac video more because at least the song was catchy. This game still demands to be played. Beyond the apocalyptic clichés is a world with stories to be lived and choices to be made. Bethesda receives a lot of backhanded compliments when people say their games replicate an MMORPG for the single player. This couldn't be further from the truth. MMORPGs offer the attractions of an extremely competitive rat race, while Fallout 3 is a role-playing game in the truest sense. It's about being a tourist in the wasteland of Washington DC, irradiating yourself in the name of science and just taking a minute to stop and smell Goldwater's daisies.
