THE HIGHLIGHTS

Fallout Tactics A turn-based alternative to the main series that required strategic thinking rather than charging into combat with a lead pipe. 2001 / PC

Fallout 2 Who’d want to be face to face with a smelly mutant? Not us. That’s why we love this topdown perspective entry to the postapocalyptic series. 1998 / PC

Fallout: New Vegas Vegas is full of deformed creeps and murderous crooks. Thankfully, the nuclear bomb saw them off. 2010 / PC, Xbox 360, PS3
