So what the hell is it with me and betas?

Yeah, it’s actually ludicrous the number of times I’ve announced a Determinance or Synapse beta and not followed through.  The basic reason is that I always get to the brink of doing it and then I decide there’s new stuff I have to put in.  Then the new stuff breaks and it’s no good as a beta.  Ho hum.  There will be a beta, and you guys will like it.

I’ve just read the GameShark reviewer’s opinions of Fallout 3, and I’m finally ready to call the game.  I think it’s going to be very competent and enjoyable/compulsive enough to finish and enjoy most every minute of.  And I think the plotting is going to be just plain uninspired – ticking all the right boxes but somehow completely failing to draw you in.  As such, I’m actually very much looking forward to spending the weekend with it.  But I have a feeling that the final verdict will be quite simply: “considerably less than the sum of it’s parts”.
