Fallout 3: Game or Future

Fallout 3 has consumed my life and probably everyone else's if they've played it. It's a post-apocalyptic action role-playing game set in 2277. This is the third major game in the series. The main character is a member of a fallout shelter and the game picks up quite quickly. You start out playing as a child to get a hold of the controls, then in the first 20 minutes you're forced to leave the shelter and see everything as well as explore with optional quests.

Unfortunately, there's been some controversy over this game in certain countries. In Australia, it's illegal to distribute the game due to the extreme drug references and realistic problems (there's parts in it ware you can become an addict). They completely banned the game from India due to mutated cows with two heads and huge udders. In Japan they edited out a side quest where you can detonate an atom bomb due to their past.

I personally love this game because it's a future version of another Bethesda game, Oblivion, only it's not knights, kings, and mystical creatures. This is a realistic future if we had four more years of Bush or just four years of McCain so if anything like this happens, I'm ready for this. I'm jumping into a bunker then raiding all places if my place doesn't lock me in for years and start a society in a bunker.
