GameXtract writes "Recently Bethesda released the requirements for the PC version of Fallout 3 which is scheduled to release this October 28th. I have to admit that the requirements are pretty forgiving, and won't cost one of your limbs. Some people though are too lazy to check the requirements against their own machine or even at times they have no clue what kind of PC they own. Heck I know some people who think Hotmail, and the Internet are the same thing. One of my favorite tools to use is systemrequirmentlab's Can You RUN It? The application will ease the process of determining if your PC can run a specific game. All you got to do is select the game, and bam! It does all the work for you. Recently they have uploaded Fallout 3, and you can now see or get confirmation if you have already manually determined, to see if your computer is ready to face post apocalyptic creatures."

MTV Multiplayer writes: "Piracy remains one of the biggest issues facing PC gaming these days.

Last week, "Fallout 3?product manager Pete Hines told me that some development studios now calculate that up to half of their customer support calls involve dealing with people who have pirated copies of the game.

That's bad.

Hines discussed the problem of piracy with MTV Multiplayer just days before, ironically, the Xbox 360 version of "Fallout 3? leaked. Piracy is still far more prevalent on the PC side, which has serious implications for studios like Bethesda Softworks, whose development bread-and-butter has been PCs."

Edge writes: "im Cain has Fallout 3 pre-ordered. The designer of Interplay's 1997 RPG masterwork Fallout is looking forward to the release of Bethesda's big budget open world sequel just like the rest of us.

But being involved so intimately with the birth of the Fallout franchise, he's hard-pressed not to analyze Fallout 3's development with a discerning eye.

He said in an interview with Edge on Tuesday, "I do like what I've seen about Fallout 3. I've talked to those guys at Bethesda about it. It's their IP now and they've gone in a certain direction and it's very intriguing."

TVGB: "In a clever little advertising move Fallout 3, being published by Bethesda who is based in Bethesda, Maryland, just outside of DC, has taken over the Metro Center stop of the metro system. Every sign, pillar and banner is an ad for Fallout 3 that urges DC citizens to consider the benefits of vault life before, I'm assuming, the impending apocalypse. I snapped a few crappy cell phone shots you can check out after the jump, but there were plenty more of these throughout the station along with large lit signs of screenshots for the game. Now, I have to go join some homeless men and start camping out in the metro system."

"According to an interview with Pete Hines from Rock, Paper, Shotgun; the PC version of Fallout 3 will not come with a mod kit out the gate, and while he doesn't rule one out in the future, it's as good as locked in a vault for now.

Hines said that producing the mod tools takes a helluva lotta time and effort, and that people have become to accustomed to having them in Bethesda games, but this time, no dice."

This may be the only video that could replace the simple yet entrancing appeal of a model in a bikini firing a machine gun, Fallout 3 and its weapons in a glorious montage.

The video features a few interviews with the development staff, gore splattered corridors and a little of the cheesy nuclear families from the original that we know and love.
