Yeah, I never made it onto the Spore bandwagon. I wanted to get it eventually, but since the game didn’t turn out to be the earth-shattering experience everyone wanted it to be, I might just pass on it and wait for Sim City 5 (or whatever Will Wright’s got next on his list, sans Sims).

Normally, I’d pick up a game like Fallout 3 for PC, and not for the 360, but I had so many problems with Oblivion, on both of my computers, after playing the game for many many hours, I don’t want to risk the waste of time again.

It’s all just as well though, since I haven’t gotten the game for any platform yet, and I really only want to get one more game before I stop buying games this year – Wrath of the Lich King (World of Warcraft expansion). Oh, and maybe Left 4 Dead… I might put that one off for a while though, since I only have so much time to play all these games, and currently Gears 2 and Fable 2 are still hogging my gaming hours.

I’ve been playing Fallout 3 for an embarassing amount of time now. There are some issues with the PC version (I kept crashing to the desktop after a few minutes of play until I uninstalled the Roxio suite that came with my DVD drive) and there are some engine-level things I wish they’d change, but I am completely satisfied with Bethesda’s effort.

I hope they come out with Fallout 4, making as vast a jump in gameplay as Fallout 2 was to Fallout 1.

This whole year has been amazing in terms of releases, but there really is a glut of games this season. Kinda makes me glad I don’t have a current gen console, it really simplifies things.

Still … Fallout 3 for PC is looks pretty F-ing sweet. Sorry, Will, I might have to pass on Spore. Valve, I love ya, but The Orange Box may have to wait a bit longer. Rockstar, I hardly knew ye, but GTA4 will always have a special place in my heart, even if I never play it. Pete, I want to believe in Fable 2, but the “only on Xbox” thing is a deal breaker. And, Wii: please stop looking at me like that … this year, really, I promise … or maybe next.

Now back to Mr. Robot, free on Game Tap.
