Fallout 2

Author: Pc,

This is a cult classic that has been heralded time and time again as one of the greatest RPGs ever created. There is no other game out there that is as open-ended as Fallout 2. There are literally countless ways to solve a problem. The dark, adult humor and post apocalyptic setting create something special. The story, while not say as character rich as BaulderÃ¢s Gate or Neverwinter Nights, is interesting enough. The gameplay is top notch, once again proving that a good game doesn't need fancy graphics to appeal. This game always comes up in the Top 5 RPG discussions you find around the web Ã¢ and with good reason. If you are into RPG game play, you will want to check this game out.Fallout 3 is often tossed on the people's Top 10 Games list, but Fallout 2 is so much better in everything but graphics. There is a reason why people say Fallout 2 is one of the best pc games ever. That's not saying Fallout 3 is NOT good, but it doesn't have the depth that Fallout 2 had.
