I'm not going to go in depth here, but essentially, Mass Effect 3 is a mostly disapointing finale to the trilogy. The game lacks RPG mechanics and dialogue choices. On a whole, it feels more linear and driven by combat, rather than primarily focussed on interesting storytelling or character building like the previous two entries in the series. Your decisions in this game (and decisions from elsewhere in the trilogy) feel inconsequential here, and the ending is thoroughly unsatisfying. After all these years, I'm still bitter about it.

This was once one of my all time favourite games. I originally played it on both PC and Xbox 360, earning every achievement twice over and spending hundreads of hours in The Capital Wasteland. After watching the surpisingly decent Fallout TV show, I decided to give Fallout 3 another go.

Sadly, it hasn't aged well. The writing was so bad and basic that I stopped playing after a few hours - I couldn't take it anymore. There are still loads of technical issues on PC. The combat is pathetic. While the exploration is still enjoyable, the gameworld isn't as reactive as say... New Vegas. In fact, while re-playing Fallout 3, all I could think about was that I'd much rather just be playing New Vegas - so eventually that's what I did.

I still have a lot of fondness for Fallout 3, and while - to a certain degree - that may just be nostalgia, it is still a good game. Just don't expect much more than a moderately shallow RPG with poor combat, and storytelling that lacks any semblance of complexity.
