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 [...]

Bethesda Softworks, developers of the soon-be-be-realized apocalypse that is Fallout 3, have recently launched a new promotional site for the game. Designed in the retro-futuristic informational style that we’ve all come to love, prepareforthefuture.com is presented via a Radiation King television set.

PAX has begun, and with it has stirred the communal gamer vibe that continues to make it the gamer event of the year. The Washington Convention Center is crawling with gamers of every stripe and every developer worth a toss has shown up to show off. The gaming press was allowed early entry into the [...]

Let the countdown begin. Bethesda’s long-awaited Fallout 3 is coming out on October 28, the studio announced today. The release will be “one of the biggest launches of any game this year,” boasts Bethesda president Vlatko Andonov, and will hit all platforms simultaneously. The game will be available in Europe three days later, on Halloween. [...]

My inability to read Chinese will probably lead to an article mistranslation, but courtesy of Kotaku & cng4u, we now have 137 images of Fallout 3, from the ZeniMax Asia Expo (ZeniMax Media is the company that owns Fallout 3 developers Bethesda.) Though I’m sure those in attendance at the expo were all forced to [...]

The Australian government has reversed a ban on the forthcoming Fallout 3 due to gamer objections. The Office of Film and Literature Classification originally had banned Fallout 3 due to its in-game drug use, rendering the game illegal for sale in Australia.

“Hey Ladies and Gents, purchase little Jimmy an ice cold Nuka-Cola! It’s twelve ounces of liquid refreshment, tastes great, and scientifically proven to help his skin grow! Yum! The Taste of a Dead Generation!”

Bethesda’s Peter Hines recently touched on why they prefer the Xbox 360 over the PC and other gaming systems and also confirmed plans for Fallout 4. Read it up after the break.

Don’t wait for the apocalypse. You may remember Vault-Tec as the company that built all of the underground vaults in the Fallout game series, which takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. The recently released Fallout 3 trailer tells us to reserve our vaults by calling 1-888-4VAULT-TEC, so I did just that.

I don’t think it showed, but I was completely flustered when I conducted this interview. That’s not an excuse, that’s testament to how absolutely blown away I was when Andrew and I finished our thirty minutes with the game. I’m just glad that every question wasn’t, “Hey, remember when that was awesome, like 30 minutes [...]

A lot of times you’ll hear about religious lunatics who can’t wait for the impending apocalypse. I never understood how they can look forward to something as utterly tragic as Doomsday. Well, I have seen the blasted, radioactive future—and it is fun. Assuming our hands and eyeballs haven’t melted into goo, we can all anticipate [...]

Are your eyes securely fastened inside your head? Is your jaw prepared to be dropped? Are you wearing rubber underwear (looking at you here, Wade)? If so, feast your brain on these amazing new gameplay demos, which premiered today at Microsoft’s press conference at E3.

As a longtime Fallout fan, the possibilities of Fallout 3 have me quite excited.  When I saw the first teaser for the game, I got goose bumps.  Now Bethesda unleashes this “new” trailer over a year later, and it is almost the same trailer all over again!

Terrorists know no limits when it comes to threats of violence– sort of like how tabloids know no limits when it comes to poor taste or incorrect facts. Check out this “terrifying vision” of the future, printed in UK rag The Daily Mail, which is actually a repurposed screenshot from Bethesda’s Fallout 3.

Alright, both have mellow soundtracks that carry you throughout the teaser, a civilization in ruins, artifacts scattered about, and dramatic lighting. So, which do you think does a better job of getting you hyped up to play the game?
