Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition

By Martin on October 19, 2009

Like the stubbornly persistent citizens that dot its irradiated landscapes, Fallout 3 simply won’t die. Refusing to bow out after first being released this time last year, Bethesda have drip-fed five downloadable missions – Operation Anchorage, The Pitt, Broken Steel, Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta – across 2009 to secure constant exposure. It’s even cropped up again and again within the rigidity of the retail channels, with staggered releases of the first two pairs of DLC for the Xbox 360 and PC. It just won’t go away. And here, with the Game of the Year Edition, the base game and its five add-ons have all been collated into one big, affordable package for one great big last hurrah to this iteration of Bethesda’s apocalyptic vision. Sony fans can rejoice, too; the exclusivity period with Microsoft for the extra content is finally over. Hurrah.
