<p><strong>Mac</strong> at <a href="http://visualcrack.wordpress.com/">VisualCrack</a> put up the first in a series of "Most Anticipated Games of 2008" - the first being <strong>Fallout 3</strong>, since <strong>GTA IV</strong> has been released now. Here are some highlights of the article:</p><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px"><p><em>As a franchise much beloved by those who have played it, the news that Bethesda was taking over the development of Fallout 3 was greeted with great wariness on the web. Having never played any of the Fallout games myself I can&rsquo;t really speak for those who were less than enthusiastic at this announcement.</em></p><p><em>The initial grab for me was the </em><a href="http://www.gametrailers.com/player/user ... <em>teaser trailer</em></a><em>. There&rsquo;s no game play, no action, I doubt it&rsquo;s even a real cut scene from the game. But&hellip; wow. </em></p><p><em>From the reading I&rsquo;ve done online a big fear among Fallout faithful has been that the most recent installment will be more FPS than RPG. I think this fear has been a big reason why Bethesda has been touting the new control scheme so heavily. You can&rsquo;t read an article about Fallout 3 without hearing about V.A.T.S. (Vault-tec Assisted Targeting System). It&rsquo;s sounding very much like an RPG with FPS elements (though Bethesda is careful to note they are not making an FPS and that you will have a hard time getting through the game if you choose to play it that way).</em></p><p><em>The choices that you have to make in the game are interesting to say the least. The only example I&rsquo;ve seen is enough to peak my interest immensely: You have to decide whether or not to activate a dormant nuclear bomb</em></p><p><em>But the thing I&rsquo;m most excited about at this point is the beginning of the game where you develop your character. You literally &ldquo;</em><a href="http://kotaku.com/378147/growing-up-wit ... "><em>grow up</em></a><em>&rdquo; learning what you need to know the play the game. Of all the games I&rsquo;ve played that have tutorial levels this is, quite simply, the most original idea I&rsquo;ve ever heard.</em></p></blockquote><p>But here's the best part of all:</p><blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px"><p><em>For up-to-date info check out the excellent </em><a href="http://fallout3.wordpress.com/"><em>Fallout 3: A Post Nuclear Blog</em></a><em>.
