The setting for Fallout is pretty perfect actually. Fits in with previous games, and fits in with the apoctalyptic literature of the 50's.
Even though I gave my 12 point bitchiness about the game, that really is just me being an elitist fallout Fan (Hey, it has the name). I do recommend giving it a shot.
See Ya George.
