Gamers Of The Apocalypse
The Escapist's theme this week is 'retro-style games', and Russ Pitts (one of the gents behind Gamers With Jobs) has a piece on post-apocalyptic gaming. Entitled 'Duck and Cover', it touches on games with that fallout flavour. From the article: "The desolate imagery and desperate sense of hopelessness in the face of unimaginable tragedy make Fallout a difficult game to finish (especially for a Day After Kid), but it is precisely the ending of this game that makes every moment of pain and frustration worthwhile. Watching the Fallout's ending cut-scene rendered me utterly speechless. I literally could not summon the words or thoughts to describe my emotions."
Ever play with a character who had an Intelligence of 1? (Or however low it will let you set it.) Lots of hilarious dialogue, as your character can barely string three words together. Yet, the game remains perfectly beatable.

Whoa, looks sweet.
Why does every game like that have to be riddled with scantily clad females? Sheesh. You'd think if you lived in a place with sandstorms and hostile chemicals, you would wear at least a t-shirt that didn't have holes all through it.
Other than that, looks like a good game!
but I worry anytime someone buys someone elses baby and tries to run with it.
You said it, brother. I tried that once and it turned out to be an fbi sting operation. Boy, was that ever a mistake.
You mean 9 years according to John Titor ;-p
