Fallout Review

The Armchair Empire has dished up a review of Black Isle Studios' original Fallout, now that the classic post-apocalyptic RPG is nearly ten years old.
The Cold War is long gone and we don't have our children going through bomb drills or watching safety films full of smiling folks who tell them what to do in the event that somebody decides to drop a nuke somewhere in the U.S. Fallout takes us to a time and place where that sort of thing might well happen. Almost a decade later, it remains an excellent example of how to make an RPG with character and soul. Mind the radscorpions.
