In an era where six to eight hours of gameplay is considered value for money, it's testament to their dedication to the long haul that well over two years after its release, thousands of people are still stumbling around the verdant fields of Oblivion. And while Fallout 3 looks set to occupy approximately as many arse-numbing hours as its more goblin-oriented counterpart, it's comprised of a very different kind of scenery. Set in and around a post-apocalyptic Washington DC, you play a 19-year-old who has spent your entire life locked in an underground vault, safe from the wastelands and the feral beings that occupy them. All's well until the day that your old man – voiced by Liam Neeson – decides that he's had enough and promptly buggers off. Intent on tracking him down and discovering exactly why, you decide to follow suit and take your first tentative steps out of the vault. This momentous occasion occurs around an hour into the game, with the previous time spent establishing the story and choosing your character's appearance. And in a nice touch, if you do manage to catch up with your Dad, there will actually be some facial resemblance. Click here to continue reading our Fallout 3 preview for Xbox 360 now!
