Fallout
You know what games are awesome? The Fallout games are awesome.
I find them scary as heck (the deathclaws! the protectrons! the horrible snarling noise the ghouls make!) but they are so. darn. entertaining. Currently on New Vegas, running round doing things for the Brotherhood and the Khans. Fallout 3 is my favourite for atmosphere, but I love New Vegas too. (Haven’t played 1 or 2 yet)
Anyway, I love the characters- I loved Moira from 3, and in this one I love Cass and Arcade (who is that rare thing in games, a non-sterotyped gay man). And I love the sheer, horrific concept behind the Vaults, and, oh heck, I love everything about these bloody games.
