From the review:
"Ultimately, Bethesda triumphed over all odds with Fallout 3. Defeating hype and the need to live up to the past, the Fallout 3 team created an intensely profound world and worthy successor to the franchise. Nothing can more easily shake the chauvinist in each of us than the sight of the decaying Washington Monument ever present on the horizon. Strongly thematic in areas such as patriotism, survival, sacrifice, and morality in a land of overwhelming hardship, Fallout 3 is unforgettable. As if an atomic bomb had dropped on our world, Fallout 3's shadow will forever stick to the walls of the video game vault."
