Gamers Of The Apocalypse

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday February 21, 2006 @05:52AM from the slashdot-must-repopulate-the-globe dept.

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."

Why does every game like that have to be riddled with scantily clad females?

Personally, I like my females scantily clad, or not clad at all. Assuming they are good looking, of course. Margaret Thatcher has my permission to remain fully clothed at all times, thank you very much.
