Last month I previewed Fallout: New Vegas, but wasn’t able to finish the game in the 50-something hours I had spare. I estimated the game would be 80-100 hours from start to finish, playing as a completionist. I was wrong.Factoring in replayed...

I think this game could have been more, a lot more, and epically a lot more, if Obsidian did not break golden rule number six: find a way to raise the bar. It feels like more of the same, but the same kind of thing you enjoyed from Fallout 3, so...

Fallout. For the uninitiated it’s a game where the world has gone belly up after some kind of nuclear what-have-you and you’re there to pick up the pieces, or scatter the pieces, or just sift through the pieces for all the valuable...

Obsidian has pulled off a near miracle by creating a superior chapter in the Fallout saga that keeps all the most-loved features of its predecessor while adding a richer, broader and more immersive playing experience for its legions of fans....
