Oct 3, 2008
You've probably read a lot about Fallout 3. Until you've actually played Fallout 3, however, you don't understand. You don't understand just how big the game feels, just how open the game seems and just how much freedom the game appears to offer. We've only had four hours with the post-apocalyptic RPG and we're already overwhelmed. ...   » Read Full Fallout 3 preview

Jul 14, 2008
It has been a full decade - an eternity in gaming time - since we’ve seen a new game set in the Fallout universe, but Fallout 3’s release is imminent. Many people believe there is no greater RPG franchise... which means expectations are king-sized. Can the latest installment in the story live up to its classic predecessors? The only way to find out was to play it. This is a journal of the people, mutants, skills, abilities, ...   » Read Full Fallout 3 preview

We got to see how our favorite Post Nuclear Role-Playing game team from Bethesda is doing on Fallout 3, and it looks like they're still well on track for a release this Fall. They let us take a look at a few of their saved games and a new game, which began like this: Images of burnt out buildings and devastated shells of cities follow the opening video, and a narration - which will be familiar to fans of the original two Fallout games ...   » Read Full Fallout 3 preview
Fallout 3
Step into the light... the cataclysmic light
Jan 4, 2008
Jan 4, 2008 The developers behind Fallout 3 visibly wince when you describe their new game as “Oblivion with guns.” Such a summing-up might sound awesome - freeform exploration of a ruined and wasted land, hundreds of years after a nuclear apocalypse - but theres so much more to Fallout. Paranoia, social experiments, naivety. And so much comedy. Consider the legendary ‘Vaults. Theyre shelters, built under rock and granite that protected citizens from the nuclear firestorm. ...   » Read Full Fallout 3 preview

Jul 1, 2007
Is Fallout 3 the next Oblivion? That was our impression after leaving developer, Bethesda Softworks' demonstration of its latest project, a follow up to the cult classic post-apocalyptic role-playing series, originally debuted by Interplay Entertainment a decade ago. Since Bethesda secured the rights to produce the next chapter in the series in 2004, rumor, conjecture and fanatical fanboy-ism have been running rampant across the internet. But while long-time fans have been on the edge of their ...   » Read Full Fallout 3 preview
