8 Video Games With The BEST Game Overs

8. Ron Pearlman Delivers The Bad News - Fallout 1 And 2

The irradiated wastes that you get to explore in the Fallout series are pretty grim. From rust coating everything that once shone to proudly, to the sheer amount of desperate violence enacted by every living thing, surviving even a day in the world of Fallout is a hard task no question.

You could be shot, you could be turned into a pile of goo, you could be mugged and left for dead by old ladies, all equally brutal and equally horrible. So why are the original Fallout games on this list then?

Well, that's down to the simple fact that in Fallout 1 and 2, upon meeting your maker you were fed a line of text describing how you died and usually with quite disturbing detail, and depending on how far you'd made it along the road there was even a chance that the one and only Ron Pearlman would narrate them!

Honestly, all manner of deaths have the edge taken off by the gravel tones of Pearlman and it makes your futile plight seem a lot more epic as a result. The man could provide the director's commentary for a documentary on watching paint dry and I'd be utterly engaged and many were sad to see that Fallout 3 abandoned this gimmick.
