Fallout 3

Fallout 3, to say the least, is the second best game we've played this year. Fallout is the third game in the series of post-nuclear world games. It takes place 200 years after a world-wide nuclear war with china, where everything, except for a few small settlements, is completely destroyed. The only places that were protected from the bombs were the Vaults. The vaults were created so a select amount of families could survive and attempt to "re-create" the world as it was before the war.

The game begins when you, the "Lone wanderer", are born in the vault. At this point, you are able to create what your character will look like later in the game. After this, you go through the first sixteen years of your life in the vault. Then, after your father leaves, you become an outcast. You are removed from the vault and are forced to search the capital wasteland for your father.

The producers went through a lot of trouble setting up Fallout. There are nearly an endless amount of quests and even more enemies. The graphics are OK, but because of the amount of stuff the designers put in, they forgot to clean up some glitches. But my favorite touch, is the amount of weapons in the game. There is enough guns to keep even Hank Williams Jr happy. There aren't only guns either. There is melee weapons like the Chinese officers sword or the combat knife.

We liked this game a lot. But due to the amount of glitches, we had to lower the rating. In the end, we gave Fallout 3:
41/2 stars.

Borderlands for the PS3

Borderlands is an exceptional action-role-playing game. The designers base the game around four “vault-hunters”. These vault hunters are in search of the ancient alien vault on the planet of Pandora. The vault is rumored to have been filled with alien technology thousands of years ago. During the journey to the vault, you, the vault hunter, encounter bandits that are simply bloodthirsty savages along with many strange and dangerous creatures.

The producers of Borderlands seemed to have worked day and night to achieve such an amazing game. They included hundreds of varieties of weapons, even more enemies and a plot line that just seems to pop compared to other games. The graphics are a whole other story. The designers made it so that the game looked cartoon-y but completely serious. The outlines of the characters are bold and smooth. The graphics in all made this game better than one would believe.

Overall, borderlands is an exciting action-adventure game that will keep one on the edge of their seat all throughout the play time. We give borderlands:

Five out of five stars.
