If this even gets to court and it looks like it could go Interplay's way, Zenimax would just end up paying more for Fallout's rights. Zenimax had too much invested in the IP now to allow it to go away. Interplay might get royalties on future Fallout titles for example.
Look at the RPG category:
Tales of Vesperia, Fable II, Fallout 3, Sonic Chronicles, and Star Ocean.
Its a bunch of bad choices left up to a bunch of G4tv.com readers.
But thats much more Appalachia then Southern Gothic. Hatfields and McCoys vs huge mansions in swamps. Now clans fighting over marijuana, meth labs and the last Mountain Dew plant, that would be Appalachia.
Wow Left 4 Dead 2 is really going the Southern Gothic route huh?
Oh, wait my mistake. Seriously did someone put off doing their DLC presentation to read Preacher comics and so this is all they had to show?
Please explain how DLC is oh so different from expansion packs. Thanks.

I really don't know where to put this, but has anyone come up with any type of reason why Bethesda had to fly out the gaming press to London to make these announcements? And yes Bethesda is picking up the tab for everyone there.
Actually more likely than being able to get a D20 game because they would be seriously constrained by a rule set is that they are going to get the Vampire:The Masquerade license just in time to capitalize on Twilight mania!
This article doesn't really absolve Mr. Jones of much but does tell us some things about the gaming press we sort of knew but now really know. First that impressions come more from peers than the actual game in many cases. 10 hours into a 40 hour game isn't enough to critique it. Thats like...
RPGs to Come
Well Persona 4 releases in a week and will likely make most sites top 5 and win a few awards. But with Square's two titles falling somewhat flat, Fallout 3 seems to have a clear walkover.
Which gets me to why I just can't really believe most FO 3 reviews. The...
