New details and images from the Broken Steel DLC
Apr 21, 2009
If you wished that Fallout 3 could have ended differently (or, indeed, not ended at all), then you'll be mighty interested in the newly announced Broken Steel DLC. Scheduled for Xbox Live on May 5 at a cost of 800 points, the new content will offer new options for the game's final mission (Take it Back!), effectively changing how it ends. And, once the main quest and the Broken Steel story are completed, you'll be able to continue with side ...   » Read Full Fallout 3 preview
The infinite potential of Fallout 3
Four hours of play. Endless possibilities. Which will you choose?
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

The end of the world never felt so fun
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

not bad some interesting new weapons..
game play is a bit on the boring side though..

N.B - they are supposed to be in development of fallout 3 - new vegas - due next year..

anyone wanting more power cells for the alien blaster??
i found some in a crater..
head east from the northern part of fort banister.. you'll probably come across some enclave soldiers.. there is a big crater with a army vehicle on it's side at the bottom and scattered power cells around.. there is also a safe and stuff to search too but nothing much..

want easy caps/trade gun..
i have manager to get over 200 of "Sydney's ULTRA 10mm SMG's".. $0 cost & takes less than 30 seconds per gun + you get 50 x 10mm rounds every time.. message me if you want to know how as i don't want to spoil anything for others..
