Rate the Game: Week 102

[M-A-G]

Good morning, y'all! We're back at it again with Rate the Game marching towards the final edition as we're down to the final 25 games. We drew one of those games last week and it was one of those rare titles that the "Haven't played it" option wasn't an issue. We all love our Ninja Turtles here, I suppose. But how much love does Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time end up with? Let's go to the board....

Well it certainly rises above the middle but it ends up ranking and scoring lower than its predecessor, landing at number 40 with a 3.92 average. Mind you, I included Fignuts's score of 4 even though it wasn't shown in the poll results. Being in the top half is nothing to sneeze at, I suppose.

Which brings us to this week's game. Will it have enough to join the top of the pack? Come on out here, bowl, and show us your wares....

There we are. One game, fresh from the pile. This week we go venturing out into the wasteland as we take a look at Bethesda's Fallout 3! This title marked a radical change in the presentation of the Fallout series but was it a welcome change? Did we end up with a masterpiece with this new direction? Let's go to the poll and do that rating thing we do and share our experiences with this game, if any. Until next week!
