In a nutshell:
Single player campaign is great, but once you finish it, you'll rarely go back. I don't think I've replayed a single mission from it. In fact, I never even played the "infamous" airport mission because the first time I let my girlfriend do it and the second time I had a friend over so I let him do it. It's definitely worth one playthrough though.

Spec Ops:
This shit has kept me entertained since release - it's a bunch of missions with an objective to complete, any one of them can take you anywhere from 15sec to 15min. The difficulty is quite well tuned so they'll offer hours of entertainment if that's your thing. You earn stars by completing missions (more per difficulty) to unlock new ones. These can be done with two players but personally, I've stuck to doing them alone since it's the only real FPS challenge besides multiplayer out there.

Multiplayer:
Ditto, I don't play it (I played quite a bit of MW MP and LOTS of WaW) since I refused to support the game for lack of dedicated servers. From what I've heard, Xbawks kids love it and PC gamers find it mediocre.

Overall rating: torrentworthy

I know I keep saying this, but I really should write my review of Fallout 3.

No you shouldn't. It is way past due, you blew your chance. You don't see Pooper writing reviews about movies that happened 2 months ago.

I'd love to see someone write a comprehensive damage report, not only on the game itself but on it's impact in the industry, what review sites it compromised, and how badly it's tarnished the future of gaming...with statistics and such. could be fun/useful/depressing.
...signatures? WTF?

Encourages low-quality tripe with massive advertising budgets behind it.

Not any. Game review organizations do this constantly in order to get money.

It takes some time to make a game, even if it's a bad one. There hasn't been enough time for someone to whip up a Fallout 3 clone.

I don't mean idle speculation.

Also the ad campaign seen in fallout 3 was one that seemed, at least to me, to spread wider than games i'd previously heard about before - especially for an unknown title to console tards.

While a game dev cycle is anywhere from 2.5-4 years normally, we would have news about whats in development and how closely it mirrors fallout 3, the same way we have news about new vegas.

by industry impact i'd love to see how much more funding and attention was focused by studios on a given, similar game(or similar in appeal) or taken from other games due to the critical acclaim of this piece of shit. While i know, like so many things(the fall of a company) it takes time to put the everything together and write up a post mortem, i think it would be of interest.
