***THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SOME STORY SPOILERS. READER BEWARE*** Crap. I found a new addiction. Damn you Patrick and lessthan12parsecs. I finally got Fallout 3 for Xbox360 in from my Gamefly queue and started playing it last night. I didn't play Bioshock on the 360 but on PC so I can't compare it in the console version but the comparison of Bioshock on the PC and Fallout 3 on the console doesn't seem to have a whole of the same elements. Bioshock is more of a FPS with some minor RPG elements while Fallout 3 is more of a RPG with some extremely minor FPS elements. Fallout 3, for me, started out a bit too slow. I realize it was developing a story but when it comes to gaming I like my games a little more fast paced; I guess that is why I love FPS so much. I gave it a chance, however, and played it through until the character left the Vault. After that is when everything started to really pick up, but I was still bored. Due to the way the developers made the game, or the hidden subliminal messages telling you to continue, encouraged me to continue playing, I just couldn't put it down. I got to know the town of Megaton a little and excepted the mission to go to the local Super Duper Mart to retrieve food and supplies; this is when I really got sucked in. I played that damn game until almost midnight last night. I'm hooked. I don't normally like RPG but this game is pretty damn good. If it can hook someone like me then you know it's gotta be good because RPG in video games usually bore me to tears. Those of you out there who like RPG video games, I HIGHLY recommend this game. Rent or buy it, either way you won't be disappointed.
