I came across this vid at Gamesquad.
It may contain some spoilers for those of us who have not played the series, but I still found it quite interesting (I'm new to Fallout and related series and I plan to get the series from GOG next weekend!). :)
I cannot vouch for the accuracy of info in the vid.

You obviously never been to Gametrailers.com before then. They are well known for their retrospectives...especially their Zelda retrospective.

The retrospective does not just contain "some" spoilers, the whole stories of Fallout 1 and 2 are retold. So if anyone plans on playing either of the two without already knowing what happens, they might want to skip these parts.
But in the video also the series' "predecessor" Wasteland is featured, as well as Fallout: Tactics, the console game Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel and the tabletop game Fallout: Warfare, all of which aren't spoilered a lot. So it's quite interesting for anyone who doesn't already know all about the series :)

I love GT's retrospectives. I do wish they'd extend this one a little longer and talk a bit more about F2, Tactics and VB than they did. As Syrion said, however, they are full of spoilers.

This video got me to try the original Fallout games. After viewing it today, I made an account on this site and began downloading Fallout 2. I'm almost done! I can't wait to try it out. I never got a chance to play the originals in the series.

Nice vid for the run up to F3, but as has been said extremely spoiler heavy.

OK, thanks for the updates.
As mentioned in first post I had never played the original games so I had no clue about the extent of spoilers. As always, anytime you see the word 'spoiler' you enter at your own risk. good luck!
I also got a copy of Fallout3 over the weekend. Now I have to decide if i should play Fallout1 in it's entirety before starting Fallout3 or play both games in parallel?

Thanks for posting the link, it was enlightening and I really dig how they mentioned Wasteland properly as the predecessor to Fallout.

I keep meaning to catch this video but forgetting.
