It's all about the atmosphere in Fallout, and being Fallout 3 was the first time many of us got to experience the Commonwealth, the notion of not knowing what's around the corner took on a whole new level of "What the f**k is that?!" with the Super Mutant Behemoth.

Starting Jurassic Park-style as a murmur of footsteps in the distance, suddenly he smashes a pile of debris out the way and begins tearing your small band of survivors apart. Part of the genius of Fallout 3 also comes from its encounters feeling dynamic and unplanned, yet Bethesda are (usually) pulling the strings the whole time.

For this particular encounter, posse'ing up with a ragtag group of NPCs and attempting to fight this screen-sized evil will already intense, but then being told to grab the mini-nuke launcher for the win?

It's no wonder Fallout 3 is still many peoples' favourite game of all time.
