Looking Back at 10 Years of… Fallout 3

Looking back, it’s easy to call this a genre-defining game by being a standout Fallout title, and a standout open-world game.

The Pros and Cons of Digital Distribution

Allow me to begin by saying this - I’m in no way an enthusiast of digital media. I used to be the guy who passionately advocated the superiority of physical games while having Olivia Newton John’s hit song playing in the background. Like many, I grew up at a time when neatly boxed games with colorful artworks and thick manuals were the only option. Receiving a highly desired game for Christmas, unwrapping it and inhaling that factory-fresh smell, is probably something only a handful of people outside of the hobby would not find disturbing.

From Godzilla to King Kong and even the Transformers, the years since have seen the game and movie industries amorously pushing these gigantic creatures onto our screens at every opportunity. More often than not we’ve lapped it up. Should you be old enough to have enjoyed the delights of games such as War of the Monsters though, then you’ll already know just how much fun it can be to jump into a game controlling something capable of wide-spread destruction, and it seems the guys over at The Balance Inc. share those thoughts too… at least if their latest game Override: Mech City Brawl is anything to go by.

What Are Rocksteady Up To?
