    I'll also chip in for the pro-FO:T crowd, it was a fun game. Perhaps a bit linear, but overall I enjoyed it and consider it a worthy part of the FO universe.

    I never played BoS so I can't comment. FO3 on the other hand...

    Fallouts 1 and 2 weren't available to me when they were current. Fallout Tactics was the first I could have got. I didn't. Why? Because everywhere I looked it was being panned as a travesty and the ruin of a great series. I came back to look at it again a couple of years later, and the same aura of doom put me off once more.

    As for the console game, I think the nicest thing I saw anyone say about it was "The graphics are passable."

    Also chiming in for Fo:T, quite a decent turn-based/hybrid realtime squad game. I thought it captured the Fallout spirit quite well from the perspective of an "organized" faction.

    The universal panning was simply a result of "why isn't this Fallout 3!!?!?" syndrome...

    Also the turn based strategy game was not exactly in vogue at the time, this was the time of Max Payne, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Black & White, Operation Flashpoint, AvP2, Independence War 2, etc...
