It's understandable...Bioshock had less of a plot than I expected (I went ahead and spoiled myself since I know I'm not going to buy it) and Crysis is...well..a shooter.

Fallout 3 will hopefully be great, especially with Bethesda working on it, but it will require a graphics card upgrade, I'm sure, as Oblivion has yet to be truly conquered by the mainstream graphics cards, and Fallout 3 is on the same (but highly enhanced) engine, IIRC.

That's funny, though, since the Gamebryo engine was overhauled from Morrowind for Oblivion, or at least, that's what they said when it came out, so, at least from a CPU-standpoint, it will be an old trick...just will require lots of polygons and super-high-resolution textures, I guess.
