Welcome

With Leipzig at an end, a Post Apocalyptic Film Fest under our belts, and PAX underway there is plenty of Fallout 3 coverage to keep up on. Since the last installment, we received word that Fallout 3 won Game of Show at E3, and announced the release date of October 28. If that’s not enough to get you excited, make sure you check out the new Penny Arcade comics and Gameplay Demo Videos.

E3 Coverage
UGO UGO
"We’ve still got plenty of questions about the story, sidequests, NPC interactions and more, but the brief taste of Fallout 3’s freedom at the tail end of E3 turned out to be one of the most delicious morsels we sampled at the show. "
TGR TGR
"If any game company knows the true meaning of the word "epic," it’s Bethesda."
TVG TVG
"You'll be glad to hear that Bethesda is demonstrating the same visual prowess in Fallout 3's game world that they did in Oblivion's."
Telegraph Telegraph
"Couple this depth with a world and plot that offers wry wit and a terrifying glimpse into a post-nuclear world and you have a game that could turn out to be something rather special."
Video Game Generation Video Game Generation
"The combat is fun, the leveling system is deep... and the post-apocalyptic world is fully realized and impressively scaled."
Bee.Bits.News Bee.Bits.News
"Thus, the stage is set and the quest can begin – and we've not even mentioned the FEV virus and the resulting super mutants once yet!"
