Ever since it went 3D, the series has been known for its immersive radio system., , , and each give the player access to a Pip-Boy radio, which allows them to tune into one or more stations that play period- or thematically-appropriate music. From the patriotic fife and drum of Enclave Radio, to the country twang of Mojave Music, to the big-city swing of Radio New Vegas, each station has something unique to offer, and contributes greatly to the atmosphere of the Wasteland.
But to be honest, not every radio song is as good as the last one. Some songs set a pitch-perfect mood for a little post-nuclear adventuring; others just inspire a change in station.

These are ten of the best songs to grace the airwaves throughout the series.
Fallout’s TV show adaptation stays mostly canon-neutral, but it does seem to designate one New Vegas ending as canon. Here’s why it makes sense.
"" is a 1949 song by blues singer Roy Brown. It's a narrative song, telling the story of a drifter named Butcher Pete who chops his way through an entire town. While the immediate connotations are those of a serial killer, some have interpreted Butcher Pete not as a violent figure, but an amorous one. That's particularly apparent in the lines, "."
The metaphor is further explored in "", which only appears in.
"" is a microcosm of radio as a whole: it contrasts upbeat, jaunty music with violent (or at least risqué) lyrics, much as the rest of the jazzy soundtrack contrasts the stark violence of the Wasteland setting. It's also just really catchy. With a swinging band and a ridiculous refrain (""), it's hard not to tap one's feet to "." It also ends with a great little fourth wall break — Brown addresses the listener directly, encouraging them to "."
's many radio stations feature many songs that explicitly reference the threat of nuclear devastation: "," "," even "." Most of these are novelty songs that trade musical complexity for cutesy or clever lyrics, but that's not the case with The Five Stars' 1957 "." Featuring non-stop piano riffs and some nice little harmonies from its five singers. (And honestly, its lyrics are lacking a bit in the cleverness department, rhyming "" with ".")
The central conceit of this song is a metaphor, comparing the speaker's love to an atomic bomb in terms of heat and explosive potential. It portrays a very real threat through humorous comparison, making it a perfect example of the Cold War obsession with mutually-assured destruction. That culture is what 's entire worldview is based on. In a post-nuclear world,

While perhaps not at the same level as, has improved tremendously since its launch through quality of life and content updates. The fan base maligned the game upon release in 2018, but many have found joy in playing with friends in more recent years.
A Little to the Left is an adorable, relaxing puzzler that's all about tidying up. You'd think that organising objects and sorting assortments wouldn't be much fun in a game, but it's a tactile, satisfying title that allows for multiple solutions on many of its levels. It's this aspect of the game that's the focus for its latest DLC, named Seeing Stars — and it's out very soon.
Fallout 76 has updated consistently since its launch, and Bethesda has experimented with different ways to expand the base game. This has included Expeditions, which take us to places like The Pitt or Atlantic City, as well as new dungeons hidden in abandoned Vaults or underground environments. At today’s Xbox Games Showcase, we learned more about the upcoming Skyline Valley update — and for the first time, fans can actually play as Ghouls.

The release date on a new Kiyoshi Kurosawa movie should be an internationally recognized holiday for film fans, particularly for horror die-hards. Chime, the latest from the Japanese director of Cure and Pulse,warrants that kind of celebration. It’s terrifying, beautifully made, and one of the highlights of 2024 so far, no matter the genre. The only problem is that most people don’t know the movie exists, or don’t know they can watch it, because it’s only available through a somewhat complicated, NFT-inflected process.
