This and That – Gaming
March 26, 2009I am taking a break from WoW for a bit – got my little Gnome warrior tank up to level 80 (and engineering to 450), my Blood Elf shadow priest to level 71 and my Druid to level 40. I needed some time to play some other things. Fallout 3 is AMAZING! I just finished the main story at level 15 and on my PS3 the game just ended. Pfft why would I want to go back for side quests now? Worse than that though, I can’t get The Pitt expansion, it’s xBox 360 only – oh the injustice! So I am going to go back to Oblivion, haven’t finished the main storyline yet. I keep getting distracted…must….find…book…4….oh look at these pretty flowers! I also have to finish Fable 2.
I am going to fire up Mass Effect on my PC as well. Fallout 3, Oblivion, Mass Effect and Fable 2 are all perfect examples of amazing story driven games for adults.
