End of the year awards

Post by King of Creation »

<strong>[ Game -> Review ]</strong> - More info on <a href="#Fallout 3">Game: Fallout 3</a>

<p>Sorry I haven't been posting any <em>Fallout 3</em> reviews lately...it's just that they're all boring and the same. However, <a href="http://bethblog.com/index.php/2009/01/0 ... -3-awards/" target="_self">here</a> are some end of the year awards and reviews:</p><blockquote><p><em>We begin at UGO, who gave the game <a href="http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/game ... 08/">their top honor</a>
saying, &ldquo;Fallout 3 grabs you by the collar and doesn&rsquo;t let go for about
50 hours. It is one of the most complete, satisfying and enjoyable
games in years.&rdquo;</em>
</p><p><em>The game has also taken GOTY awards at <a href="http://www.gamesradar.com/f/gamesradars ... esRadar</a> (image above), <a href="http://www.411mania.com/games/columns/9 ... 11Mania</a>, <a href="http://www.philly.com/inquirer/weekend/ ... lly.com</a>, <a href="http://gaygamer.net/2008/12/gaygamernet ... yGaymer</a>, <a href="http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news ... vements</a>, <a href="http://www.nextgenplayer.com/2009/01/to ... html">Next Gen Player</a>, and <a href="http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/features/4 ... ds">Voodoo Extreme</a>.</em></p><p><em>At both <a href="http://www.gamervision.com/gamer/gamerv ... rvision</a> and <a href="http://news.softpedia.com/news/RPG-of-t ... ftPedia</a>, the game recently received honors as the top RPG of the 2008. TGR handed out two awards for the game &mdash; <a href="http://www.thegamereviews.com/articlena ... html">Best PC Game</a> and <a href="http://www.thegamereviews.com/articlena ... ml">Studio of the Year</a>.</em></p><p><em>Last but not least, the game was also acknowledged as one of the top games of 2008 at <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=6550666">ABC News</a>, <a href="http://weblogs.variety.com/the_cut_scen ... Variety</a>, <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainmen ... .html">The New York Daily News</a>, and <span><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/01/01/joyst ... </a></span>. Here&rsquo;s a snippet from the latter:</em></p><blockquote><p><em>&ldquo;There are so many things you&rsquo;ll miss if you don&rsquo;t get
out and explore. We&rsquo;d never have gathered up parts and made a railway
rifle that pinned enemies to walls, or a flaming sword from a lawnmower
blade. Or become obsessed with tracking down every last Vault Boy
bobblehead, pre-war book, human finger &hellip; or any of the myriad items
that seem pointless, yet have a purpose.&rdquo;</em></p></blockquote><p><em>To see some of the other awards, head to the <a href="http://fallout.bethsoft.com/eng/links/f ... p">Fallout 3 Official Website</a>.</em></p></blockquote>

Like the pointless purposeless items that have no purpose and are pointlessly pointless? I am pretty sure they actually had no purpose.

I honestly drew the most pleasure from fallout 3 by collecting as many empty whiskey bottles as possible and dropping them one-by-one on the floor of "my" "house" in "megaton". Everything else just seemed pointless.

HAVE YOU SEEN MY DAD? :drunk:

Different thread for that one Kaufman-- unless I'm mistaken and by no means would that be something new, try this
