1 week in apocalyptic USA

So I have had Fallout 3 for about a week now.  I pretty much liked it.  I think my wife likes it much more then I do tho.  I think its ok.  I have had a few really neat encounters, but there is so much nothing in-between the cool things.  I don't know how long I will hang on.  I am pumped to see the cool aircraft carrier city, and to wear power armor.  I will stick it out a bit yet.

I will say that my favorite thing I played this last week was Mirrored Edge.  The artwork, the music, the setting...everything just seemed to click for me.  At first I heard that the demo was almost 10 percent of the total game and that really bothered me.  Then I heard the game described as a race track.  Yeah the story was only 4-6 hours long, but you will want to play the levels over and over again like a racing game.

That so appeals to me.  With my busy work schedule, I don't have time to invest 100's of hours into a video game, but I could sink 5-20 hours into a rewarding game like Mirrors Edge.  I hope this game acts as a wake up call to the industry.  They need to get out and create new IP's....
