So... in my quest to find a replacement for Fallout 3 to fill the gap before the next DLC is released, I've ended up (quite logically) playing a lot of Oblivion again. Thought I'd start again from scratch but my character is fairly similar to my previous one (and pretty much any other RPG-like characters I have) with a healthy dose of sneaking, sniping and a little bit of magic.
While I hadn't really forgotten just how good Oblivion is, it is only after having played Fallout 3 for so long that I can see just how detailed and complex it can be. Fallout 3, though it is slightly odd to admit it, isn't as good. The setting is, obviously, completely different and the voice acting is significantly better... but the stories, characters, world and the mechanics of the game all, in my opinion, pale in comparison to Oblivion. This doesn't make Fallout 3 a bad game by any stretch of the imagination... it's still an amazing game... it's just not quite as good as Oblivion.
Inevitably, whenever I'm looking for something else to play, I've spent a fair amount of time on the Xbox. Saints Row 2 being the main attraction, though I've also spent a rather unhealthy amount of my time playing... Kingdom for Keflings.
If you've not come across this, it is an Xbox Arcade title. A very simple 'world builder' game. No combat or conflict... just you (as your Xbox avatar) resource gathering and building a kingdom, while directing the inhabitants of this world, the Keflings, to assist you with this task. Very simple, and very addictive.
