Warts aside, "Brotherhood of Steel" is entertaining. When you play it in bite-size sessions, you'll appreciate wading into a sea of overgrown beetles or phosphorescent foes, spiked baseball bat swinging. Despite a few design shortfalls, the gameplay succeeds admirably, as does its presentation. Casual enthusiasts will be stoked, even if legions of loyal "Fallout" fans are left in the cold. But why is a previously PC-specific franchise receiving a console-only send-off? Maybe its designers worked with radiation for too long.
