In Part 1, I talked about the origins of the Fallout series beginning with the inventive Wasteland by Electronic Arts. I explored the heart of the series in Interplay’s Fallout 1 and 2, and talked a little about Fallout Tactics with it’s inclusion of real-time combat.

Plants Vs. Fallout 3
Until recently, my computer was incapable of running the latest of the game industries “big hits”. After my much needed upgrade, I was reminded of Fallout 3.
