After all, there's a good chance that once you've played Fallout 4 then going back to Fallout 3 will be like going back to a Nokia 3310 after owning an iPhone 6 (novel, kind of awesome - but ultimately impractical). In a way, that makes it the perfect time to revisit its much-loved predecessors. In a mere month's time, Fallout 4 will land like the Fat Man bomb upon the gaming scene, sucking us into the bleak Boston wastelands for hundreds upon hundreds of hours.
