GamePlanet has written a review for the recently released Fallout 3 game, giving it a solid 9.5 out of 10 for an excellent story, well built AI and great graphics, while docking it for possible bugs and patches rumoured online as well as a lack of a multiplayer component. Overall, an excellent score!

Of course man can be almost as destructive as nature. Over many millennia we've developed from simple primates unable to stand upright, to discovering fire, language, developing agriculture, domesticating animals, forming civilisations, understanding philosophy, creating the renaissance, medicine, magnificent feats of construction and engineering, as well as the rudimentary stages of space travel and even harnessing the power of the very stuff that makes up the universe.

Yes, Man now dominates this world and the future is looking rosy. That is, provided we don't destroy ourselves with our newly acquired and hard-won mastery of such things as the atom.

But in this apocalyptic alternate universe, that is exactly what we do. In a frenzy of human aggression we scorch the skies and burn the landscape, poison the seas and rivers and lakes, and devastate our great cities in a nuclear exchange that almost puts an end to all humanity and everything else on Earth.

Thank goodness for the Vaults.
