In the year 2277, the devastating effects of the Sino-American War can still be felt in Washington D.C. Water is irradiated, mutated creatures and humans wander the earth, and every day people struggle for scraps. In an underground fallout shelter, titled Vault 101, life is much simpler, with all daily comforts met in a clean and save environment. When the protagonist's father goes missing from the shelter, though, the player will have to journey out of the safety of Vault 101 into the Wasteland, to discover the truth of his (or her) father's past and fight for survival of the entire Wasteland. So begins Fallout 3, a monumental action-adventure across a post-apocalyptic setting.

Of course, there is also an ancient evil to combat, as the deadly Shadow Dragon Medeus has resurfaced. Long ago he was defeated by Marth's ancestor--wielding the mighty Falchion--but now he has returned to wreck havoc on the continent. Each chapter sees Marth defeat another foe and emancipate the subjugated people, yet Marth and his knights' characters remain fairly static.

After the success of 2007's Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Nathan Drake is back on another adventure, this time following Marco Polo's trail to the ancient untold powers of the Cintamani Stone. Gameplay is split between platforming sequences that see Nathan clambering across derelict buildings, and combat portions that pit you against waves of enemy soldiers. With some amazing visuals and top-notch voice acting, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is a thrilling action-adventure.

The plot in Among Thieves feels like it was taken right out of a summer blockbuster movie: the wily treasure hunter is out to find a mysterious, ancient treasure when danger rears its ugly head. It's not setting new ground in video game narratives, but the characters are fun, the plot is interesting, and the cutscenes are entertaining. For a medium that is often trying to compete with...
