Apparently there aren’t any acorns in Virginia this year. Not a single one.

As soon as I heard the new post-apocalyptic role-playing game Fallout 3 hit the torrents sites, I went and grabbed it. I’d played the first two and they were always great fun if not solely because of the amount of freedom you have in the game. Not just the sort of sandbox-style freedom you get in Grand Theft Auto, but a freedom to actually affect the world around you. Someone you decide to beat to death in an alley early in the game could have been an important character to provide you medicine or access to some special area later on.

So after a few hours playing the third installment last night, I’m pleased to say it still has exactly this sort of freedom. And it’s friggin’ awesome.
