<blockquote>For the rabid fans of the PC-native Fallout series, the unveiling of Fallout 3 ranks up there with some of the biggest gaming events in recent memory. The fact that a proven developer like Bethesda is handling the game is simply thick icing on an already cavity-inducing cake. ... Running on an advanced version of the engine used for Bethesda’s freeform masterpiece Oblivion... . So it’s established that Bethesda has always been a fan of the series...</blockquote>Easy on the hype, mister.
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Overall, Bethesda promises Fallout 3 to be even more character-driven than Oblivion.</blockquote>That's impossible!
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>In typical Bethesda fashion, however, you also have the option to spare Megaton and its residents.</blockquote>Typical Bethesda fashion?
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>“Violence done well is f**kin’ hilarious, so we embrace it,” says Howard...</blockquote>Someone should put a leash on him.
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>“Destruction is the new trees,” Howard proclaims. Gone are the lush, expansive lands of Oblivion’s provinces. These are replaced by charred land and scorched cars that can explode if shot. </blockquote>A true Fallout trademark.

On Joystiq:

The demo showed off a few highly imaginative weapons, from the Suck-o-Tron, which lets you chuck useless items at enemies,

It's the Gravity Gun!

Another Joystiq article:

There will be 21 collectible bobbleheads hidden throughout the game for Easter egg lovers.

...

Anyway, I'm tired of this game.

Suck-o-Tron

Please don't beat us over the head with your humour... its easy does it and double check if its funny in the first place

I remember the days when Fallout was a "dead license" for a "low selling game". I can still remember Saint's argument that sales were "good for its time" while some retard was saying nobody played it and it wasn't a success. It's funny how things change.

Wow.
Wow.

Fallout 3 - Just say no.
