Who remembers the classic

R.P.G of FALLOUT: A post –

apocalyp�c role - playing

game released by interplay in

1997?

Well I certainly do, who could

forget?

Well if you don’t know what

I’m talking about, that’s ok be-

cause it is a pre-y old game,

but a brilliant one at that be-

cause it is the original Fallout

and the one that kicked the

whole series off to an amazing

start.

Let’s talk about the history be-

hind the series,

The global phenomenon took

the world by an iron grip that

entranced gamers everywhere

because it was something no-

body had seen before, wheth-

er that be the turn based

gameplay or that post-

apocalyp�c feel, that took the

world by the iron grip I per-

sonally would say both is what

got me so entranced in the

game. When the second fall-

out game in the series hit the

shelves of almost every game

store around the world it

made millions, because the

first one was obliviously no

disappointment for gamers

around the world,

so you can imagine what hap-

pened when this one hit the

shelves in 1999. There wasn’t

much difference between the

two brilliant games except that

the second brought in a new

colourful fac�on for you to play

with known as the Enclave.

The enclave are the main ene-

my in the second game armed

to the teeth with high tech

weaponry and power armour

to enforce the government’s

will, those are only few of the

things they have loaded up in

their arsenal, whether it be

from experimental creatures

such as deathclaws (le5)

Or their airborne transport

armed with full-auto shoot

Gatling lasers cannons mount-

ed underneath the cockpit

(le5)

Now moving unto the third in-

stalment in the series Fallout 3

made by Bethesda and re-

leased in 2007.

The reason Bethesda made this

one was because interplay sold

the fallout stock holds to Be-

thesda in an unknown year for

whatever reason.

Fallout 3 took on a different

angle of gameplay and story

but also removing almost eve-

rything from the first 2 games

except for the treacherous en-

clave which really annoyed al-

most every real fallout fan such

as myself because nothing else

was relevant from the first 2

games.

Bethesda changed the game-

play from turn based to first

person or third person choice

which didn’t really feel like a

real fallout game to me not just

because of that but also noth-

ing such as N.C.R, the master’s

army or the brotherhood of

steel (B.O.S) weren’t how they

were supposed to act they are

obsessed with technology they

don’t care much about keeping

people safe or helping them

they just like technology that’s

it, where is in fallout 3 it’s a bit

different they like technology

but they want to help people

in the capital wasteland

(Washington D.C.) but then

there are the outcasts who act

like what the B.O.S is supposed

to act like but they treat you

like dirt which is the right B.O.S

way, believe it or not. Now

moving unto the final instal-

ment so far in this wonderful

series, Fallout New Vegas.

Fallout new Vegas, released by

Obsidian in 2010 really rocked

the skyline like a mushroom

cloud. Fallout new Vegas is all

it was made out to be bringing

back all the colourful fac�ons

and characters for you to inter-

act with or shoot in the head,

either way the story s�ll ends

the story s�ll ends but almost

every ac�on has a conse-

quence on how the game turns

out, so for example if you de-

stroy a whole fac�on such as

the N.C.R they will come a5er

you for say killing their ambas-

sador and they hate you un�l

you improve your reputa�on

with them or you could help

them and they help you and

you have a great reputa�on

with them but certain fac�ons

hate you if be friends with

them such as Caesars legion

and the B.O.S.

The storyline also is very com-

pelling and entertaining the

whole game is about the con-

trol of Hoover Dam and who

gets control of it. There are

four main fac�ons that you

have choice of Mr.House, Cae-

sars legion, N.C.R and an inde-

pendent Vegas which you con-

trol.

All things are great but they

made one fatal mistake that

Bethesda made with Fallout 3,

you can’t keep playing a5er

you beat the game which I can

understand why but if you le5

some things un-finished you

can’t finish those things which

can be pre-y annoying but

once you start you have to re-

load your last save which is

frustra�ng but s�ll worth it as

a game.

As a final result I will rate each

game according to what I really

think of them:

Fallout 9.5/10

Fallout 2 9/10

Fallout 3 3.5/10

Fallout new Vegas 9.7/10

Well now you know which

games to get in this series and

which not to and you know the

history of the series.

10: Star Wars: The force un-

leashed – Lucas arts entertain-

ment

Stars wars: the force un-

leashed really changed the

star wars story because the

whole game is about Darth

Vader’s appren"ce Starkiller is

betrayed by his master and he

tracks down the last of the

Jedi to help him kill Vader but

Vader manipulates him and

says he had to do it for Star

Killer’s safety. I put this game

in my top ten games because I

enjoyed the storyline and all

the twists and the gameplay

was fast paced and enjoya-

ble… but there was a down

side the controls were a bit

sensi"ve and it would the con-

trols would not respond some-

"mes so it would leave

trapped in a whole bunch of

enemies. Despite these minor

hiccups it was a good game all

around, I give this

game a 7.5/10

9: Spore – Maxis studi-

os

Spore was a breakthrough for

a game based completely

around evolu"on, with its

wonderful graphics and it’s

easy to grasp controls and the

gameplay was very well organ-

ised because you go through

the stages of evolu"on

star"ng at the cell stage and

working your way up the food

chain eventually evolving into

an intergalac"c civilisa"on

and being the ruler of the gal-

axy. This may sound really in-

triguing but there are a few

downfalls to this, it gets very

8. Call of duty 4: Modern war-

fare – ac"vision and

infinity award

The call of duty

series has been going on since

2004 and personally my fa-

vourite ones are the original

two games probably because I

played them the most but….

moving on when call of duty 4

was released all the C.O.D fans

went ballis"c and ac"vision

and infinity award made a lot

of money but some people

were really disappointed with

it because it had a lot of bugs

and that people didn’t enjoy

(such as myself) but if you can

get over those minor hiccups

it is a wonderful and enter-

taining game. My favourite

feature about this game was

that you could play it online

against other players. Over all

this a brilliant and worthwhile

game that was worth the

money and a few glitches… so

I give this a 9/10

7. Mass effect – Bioware studi-

os

Mass effect

punched a hole through the

role playing genre with its

wonderful graphics and amaz-

ing gameplay while these are

amazing there was a downfall

with a few glitches and bugs

that made the game a bit frus-

tra"ng at "mes such ge=ng

stuck in an elevator or Com-

mander Shepherd stopping

abruptly while you’re running

to your but these can be fixed

by patching the game with the

newest patch which can found

by googling or going to the

mass effect website or the

Bioware website. Over all this

an amazing game that would

keep you entertained just

watching an explosion throw-

ing an enemy over a railing or

ledge… so I give this game a

9.3/10

6. Call of duty: modern war-

fare 2 mul"player

– ac"vision and

infinity award

When call of duty mw2 was

released C.O.D fans all around

the world jumped with joy

when it was released… but it

was not all it was made out to

be there was a lot disappoint-

ment in the campaign, well I

know I was at least…. on the

other hand the mul"player

was fantas"c and improved

from the C.O.D 4 but even that

wasn’t perfect depending on

who the host is, the server will

lag and be very buggy render-

ing the game unplayable. Oth-

er than those minor pi@alls it

is very fun and entertaining

game so give this game a

9.5/10

5: Fallout new Vegas

– Obsidian studios

Obsidian made the next mas-

ter piece in this outstanding

series. Fallout new Vegas has

everything a real fallout game

should have with the B.O.S

trea"ng you like dirt and the

N.C.R aDemp"ng to enforce

their rules (it feels like home)

Fallout new Vegas made a lot

of things relevant again from

the original two such as the in-

famous N.C.R and the proper

B.O.S but also introducing a

new fac"on known as the Le-

gion. The Legion run by some-

one known as Caesar are a Le-

gion of religious ex – slaves

who see the world as impure

and it must be purified by

slaughtering everything that is

impure which is basically eve-

rything in Nevada Las Vegas.

But as great as this may sound

there are a few bugs from

bugs from fallout 3 such as the

frozen vats glitch which when

you enter vats your character

doesn’t move but just follow

them with their gaze which

can be unbelievable infuri-

a"ng.

Other than a few bugs and

glitches this game is brilliant

and worth the money so I give

this game a 9.8/10

4. Borderlands - 2k

studios

Borderlands was something of

a new genre combining first

person shoo"ng with role

playing gameplay so you level

up and pick perks or abili"es

to help your character to over-

come great and outstanding

challenges that are beyond

gruelling and tough but not

impossible. At "mes this game

can beyond frustra"ng be-

cause when figh"ng mul"ple

amounts of enemy you can get

overwhelmed and forced into

a choke point and eventually

become knocked down so that

you have to kill an enemy so

you can get a second wind

(second life) and keep figh"ng

but if you can get over that

frustra"on and play the game

with friends or carry out your

quest solo figh"ng and over-

coming the challenges that

await on Pandora. Over all this

brilliant games with its car-

toon like look and spectacular

gameplay I give this game a

9.9/10

3. Fallout - interplay studios

The fallout series

took off to a mas-

sive start with the

very first fallout game being

released in 1997 by interplay

studios Fallout takes place in

2161 in L.A aHer the world has

been devastated by atomic

war in 2077. Fallout is by far

one of the bestselling role –

playing games of all "me be-

cause it is so unique with its

turn based gameplay and that

feeling of always being -

outnumbered so you really

need to think of a strategy

when outnumbered because

you’re going to die if you

don’t. Over all this one of my

favourite games and I will al-

ways love this game so I give

this game a 10/10

2. Red dead re-

demp"on –

Rockstar studios

Red dead redemp"on is set in

the 1911 west in new Aus"n

you are John Marston a former

outlaw trying to put his bad

life behind him but when fed-

eral agents take his family

from and threaten to kill them

if he doesn’t do what they say

which is to hunt down the rest

of his former gang. R.D.R is a

brilliant game with hours of

endless gameplay and side

quests you can indulge your-

self in and just riding your stal-

lion through the west is

enough to keep you enter-

tained. But there are a few

things wrong with this won-

derful game there are a few

very annoying but hilarious

glitches which can make the

game unplayable but all you

have to do is save the game

turn off your Xbox or ps3 and

then turn it back on and the

game should be fine again. De-

spite a few very funny and an-

noying glitches this game is a

one of a kind and I will always

love this game so I give it a

10/10

1. Brink – Bethesda studios

and Splash

damage stu-

dios

Brink combines

two things together that make

a deadly combina"on parkour

and guns. Brink was something

I had never seen before and it

stood out to me with its great

visuals and gameplay but it

was not all it was made out be

there was quite a lot of glitch-

es and bugs that made the

The campaign was no let

down though with its compel-

ling two sided story and every

ac"on has a consequence but

the online was what made this

game a huge let down but be-

sides the online this was a

great game so I give this a

9.2/10

1. Nine toes

Nine toes is actually one of the much easier bosses his

pets pinky and digit are harder than he is because they

heavily armoured in the front of their head and faces. If

you keep moving and stay of their way you can kill nine

toes very easily

2. Sledge

Sledge is actually very easy because if you stand behind

cover and keeping shoo�ng him he will just stand there

And smack his hammer on the ground not touching you

all though he does have two goons who will shoot you so

be cau�ous.

3. Krom

Krom is one of the much harder bosses because he has

big turret that will rip through your shields like a knife in

bu-er also he has a lot of guys between you and him so

take cover when you can and work your way up to him.

4. Baron Flynt

Baron Flynt is actually a hard boss because he has a shot-

gun that shoots grenades but it is useless up close so get

close to him and he’s easy but he has a lot of guards so be

very careful and work your way up slowly.

5. Rakk Hive

The Rakk Hive is one of the most annoying and bosses in

the game because it has Rakk flying out of its back every l

minute and they occupy you while it shoots corrosive ac-

id at you so watch your back and keep moving.

6. The Destroyer

The Destroyer is by far the hardest and most annoying

boss in the game because it has a huge laser beam thing

that shoots out of its eye and it has huge spikes that fly

out of its mouth that kill you instantly if they hit twice in

a row. Despite these annoying powers it does have weak-

nesses such as it mouth when its open and the glowing

orbs on its tentacles and those do ungodly amounts of

cri�cal damage which if you keep firing at those cri�cal

points it will die in no �me.

7. Crawmerax The Invincible

Crawmerax is meant to be the hardest boss in the game

because he can kill you in a hit if you’re unlucky but he

does have weaknesses the purple glowing orbs on his

body is the easiest and fastest way to kill him and ele-

mental weapons really help such as incendiary and corro-

sive. Shoot those glowing orbs with either incendiary or

corrosive and he will go down pre-y easy but it will take a

while.

8. CL4P—TP interplanetary ninja assassin

CL4P-TP is one of the final bosses in the game and not

one of the hardest because he has big robot buggy thing

isn't hard at all you do is just destroy the turrets and its

basically dead.
