Fallout 3 is more than just exploding heads. It's more importantly about the balance of all body parts being equally destroyed to itty bitty pieces. That sort of gritty imagery is well-suited for a dystopian adventure such as the post apocalyptic Fallout 3. From the landscape to the technology, you can see every bit of gloom seeping out and turning this virtual world evermore life-like. To get a better picture, check out the new screens in our gallery below.

It looks like Gears of war YAWN

What do you mean by "it looks like Gears"? Do you mean the character models? I certainly don't think the environments look like Gears at all. Maybe the armored characters - but they certainly aren't as ridiculously over the tops as the Gears characters are.

The Fallout games feel nothing like Gears, and if the third is anything like the first two Fallout games it will be so far beyond Gears (which is a great game, by the way) that comparing the two will be an insult. If you don't believe me, then go play the first two (which are 11 and 9 years old now) and see how great they are despite their age.

Now, of course, if RPGs aren't your style you will hate Fallout. So I guess the point of this long winded response is: don't discount this game based off of some perceived superficial commonality with Gears.
