  • Fallout 1+2+Tactics are free on GOG

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Yeah.. I beat Fallout 1 a few years ago when GoG was offering it free last time (that I know of) and it was probably the last time. Two was just better in nearly every way... Except the ending. The original Fallout probably has one of the best endings in gaming history. Look that shit up on Youtube once every year or so and it still makes me tear up like a little child.

Tactics is fun if you enjoy the Fallout combat system.. there's even the continuous turn based mode (or whatever they called it) that essentially makes it real time. The story revelations on the Brotherhood of Steel are pretty sweet if you want to see what they were like before Bethesda had their way with them.. not really complaining about what they did, just saying I find Interplay/Black Isle's take a good thousand times more interesting. I loved how mysterious they were in Fallout 1 and 2. I almost wish that Tactics, Fallout 3, and New Vegas didn't just fuck that all up and decide to explore them in-depth.

Speaking of which, I'm enjoying Underrail. It's still alpha, but it's pretty fun so far. A few holes here and there, but that's to be expected for an alpha right now.
