With some of the biggest franchises in gaming receiving sequels and a couple of strikingly good newcomers joining the party in 2008, Fallout 3 was not without proper competition. In the end, we chose it as our Game of the Year because of the way it completely immersed all who emerged from Vault 101. Ask around the IGN office and you'll hear 30 different reasons why the game is so good ranging from the shear amount of content to the excellent combat system to the well-crafted story. They all trace back to one underlying philosophy that makes Fallout 3 so fantastic: freedom. This is your Capitol Wasteland. It's up to you to decide what to do with it while you write your own story.
