Lookout!

Posted: 06/27/2009

Point Lookout was released this week and, like Scott, reminded me why Fallout 3 was my favorite game of 2008. Hell, I’ve probably played Fallout 3 more in the past few months than any “new” title. And the four expansion packs they’ve released this year are better than most of those games I’ve played.

What amazes me is that they’re not just more of the same. Each one feels like a different game built upon the Fallout engine; only Broken Steel actually took place in the DC wasteland. And the first couple missions in Point Lookout play more like Half Life or Resident Evil than Fallout 3.

It’s brilliant and I want more. Bethesda, you’ve come a long way since horse armor.
