12th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards Winner: Outstanding Achievement in Original Story and Role-Playing Game of the Year

Vault 101 – Jewel of the Wastes. For 200 years, Vault 101 has faithfully served the surviving residents of Washington DC and its environs, now known as the Capital Wasteland. Though the global atomic war of 2077 left the US all but destroyed, the residents of Vault 101 enjoy a life free from the constant stress of the outside world. Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants are all no match for superior Vault-Tec® engineering. Yet one fateful morning, you awake to find that your father has defied the Overseer and left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown. Leaving the only home you’ve ever known, you emerge from the Vault into the harsh Wasteland sun to search for your father, and the truth.

War, War never changes
By: Darkdemise    Date: Thursday, Jun 25, 2009
I'll start with the bad about Fallout 3. There aren't very many things to dislike about this game, there is a shortage of quests and the ending of the main story line is one of the worst I've ever experienced, but there are a good number of quest to keep you entertained for a good length of time.

You can freeze time go to VATS, shoot their h...[More]
