| We’ve been discussing whether to watch Fallout, but you’ve all made it sound very watchable, so I think we’ll give it a go. My only comment for that is that there is quite a lot of blood and its very violent , there is humor in there as well but if you are a little squeamish then it may not work fo... |

| This game is a masterpiece. I can't comment on its earlier incarnations as I've only started playing it since the recent V2.0 'reboot' release, but it's properly grabbed me and drawn me into its world. It's also completely beyond gorgeous, and even now, some 120 hours into it, I still sometimes find... |
