GameBanshee writes in to say they have their Fallout 3 review online. The score is 8.4/10 and here’s a snip on the gameplay:

Gameplay

For gameplay, Fallout 3 has a lot in common with Oblivion. You’re given a large world to explore, and there are numerous quests to complete, but mostly the game is about combat. As you make your way around the D.C. wasteland you’ll encounter ghouls, supermutants, deathclaws, and more, and you’ll have to fend them off using a variety of weapons. For ranged attacks you might use a Chinese assault rifle or a sniper rifle, and for melee combat you might use a baseball bat or a combat knife. You can also fight enemies with your fists, or use special “unarmed weapons” like brass knuckles.

Fighting creatures is pretty easy. The mouse controls your targeting cursor, and you just need to point it at an enemy and then click the left mouse button to fire (or swing) your weapon. If you hold down the right mouse button then you’ll aim your weapon, which will give you a better view of your enemy, and if you press the V key then you’ll enter VATS, which will allow you to automatically target different parts of the enemy’s body (and show you the odds of hitting each part). Most of the time your goal is to shoot the enemy in the head, but some enemies, like giant ants and crab-like mirelurks, are vulnerable in other places as well.
