Even yours truely can have a change of hearts sometimes and be forced to eat my own words. In my recommendation/review for the demo, I said that all I needed was a short test of the game to make up my mind about it. Turns out I was wrong. I quite enjoyed the game once I gave it a serious try.

The story is of course still very black and white disney-esque of Evil is Evil and Good is Good, and I prefer the more moral greyzone in stories.

Some of the characters are very likeable like Jezebeth and Markal while others are just plain annoying like Sir Varkas. Honorable mentions go to the minor character 'Sir Skeleton'.

For an extended review of this game, check out my blog.

All I tried was the demo, and the demo was enough for me to make a very solid opinion about this game. It took me about ten minutes to come to this conclusion after starting the game and playing it.

It's not fun.

Yes, it has humor in a way, but all the characters are just too nice to each other and the gameplay is just so dull. It feels like playing Tetris just not as engaging. It feels like playing Yu-Gi-Oh but without the fear of trap cards.

And I don't like it.

I remember reading about this game in a gaming magazine a long time ago. I still have that magazine in my possession. The article simply amazed me and I just wanted to play this game so badly.

Released in 1997 as a spiritual successor to Wasteland, Fallout takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where you take the role as the Vault Dweller (Male or Female, your choice). You're sent out into the desert to find a replacement water chip since the one in your fault is malfunctioning.

You have 150 days to find a new one.

Along the way, you'll face the hazards of the wasteland, raiders, mutants, terrifying creatures and just plain thieves. Not to mention health issues if you forget to carry enough water or have a specific skill in high level.

This game is a must have.
