    Fallout 3 - can you run it?

    That makes little sense since the PC version also has achievements.

    Bethesda tires of spending money to support pirates

    Actually you are wrong on all accounts. The problem with EULA is not signature but that it goes into effect after purchase which you cannot do legally. Once the product is bought, that's the end of things, no contract can be negotiated after the fact (a EULA is a contract). Further the case...

    Bethesda tires of spending money to support pirates

    Having read over the article again, the idea that BS hates being pirated is a non-issue. Piracy will never go away, ever. As a game developer you go into the business expecting some level of piracy. There are ways to lessen the number of people who pirate the game such as releasing demos (or...

    CanardPC's almost-review

    I have to say it's nice to see an honest review of the game (and I use review in it's basic meaning since it's not his official one). Personally, I find negative reviews a lot more enlightening than positive ones simply because they give more info (at least the good ones do). I can figure out...

    GCG taking Interplay to court

    While I haven't seen the lawsuit, I can only imagine the damages are the price paid to license the Fallout IP. Either way, Glutton Creeper Games are most likely never going to see the money since they will just become another person Interplay owes money (unless they are smart and tries to...

    Bethesda tires of spending money to support pirates

    The problem is that you can never get rid of pirates. DRM does encourage people to pirate and it also encourages those who bought the game to get the pirated version with has no DRM. I personally will never get a Steam game because you don't own it. If the servers go down you cannot reinstall...

    15 Coolest Games of the Fall

    I've never heard of the game but it sounds like a sequel to Valkyrie Profile for the PS1 (although I think it may have already had a sequel on the PS2). Not much to say about the article, it kind of speaks for itself. Writers like this are a big part of the problem with game "journalism"...

    Bethesda hunting down Fallout 3 leak

    Actually you are wrong about EULA's most are completely unenforceable in the United States.

    Gamasutra interviews Todd Howard

    Even if I had the money I know better than to give anyone a second chance to screw me over. As for the quote, you are right Oblivion pretty much ignored much of TES's lore. Apparently, if they followed the lore than the whole main quest would not have happened (the emperor was not from a long...

    Fallout 3 launch party Oct 18th

    I was thinking the same thing. I mean damn early Friends Cortney Cox and Jennifer Aniston were hot. My issue with this "party" is similar that the studio has put out such a mediocre product which easily could use more money for better animation at the very least. And as far as I'm...

    Gametrailers.com videos

    I would suggest looking at e-bay to see if anyone puts the lunch box up for auction. It might cost a decent amount, but if you don't want BS to get your money then that might be the way to go.

    Fallout 3 launch party Oct 18th

    I had no idea, but this does explain a lot. With all these corporate suits on the board it's no wonder the direction of their games has become so bland. It also explains why the PR budget is so much more than the actual game budget. EDIT: I was also wondering why they are having this thing...

    Fallout system requirements revealed, gold confirmed

    I'm going to assume this'll run on my laptop since Oblivion did but it's odd that my ATI X1400 isn't on the list but the X1300 and X1600 are. Then again I know jack about video cards so it might not be that odd. So while I won't get this game at launch, it's nice that I at least have to...

    Top 10: Kick ass moments from a day with Fallout 3

    You minding or not, it's still a flaw. While it's comparatively minor, these "enhancements" just don't have verisimilitude (or whatever that word is) with the setting. I could understand say +5 Strength -3 Charisma as you mutate. That along with some visual change would be nice. This however...

    Fallout 3 pirated, videos spread

    Not to stray even further off topic, but it would be interesting if BS had kept with that and there were no Asian's in Vault 101 but keeping with the social experiment, there was a Vault completely comprised of decedents from an internment camp. I wouldn't expect this from BS but it would...

    Fallout 3 pirated, videos spread

    I think it's kind of funny that it got pirated for the Xbox 360, then again I'm not sure how many of those pirating (actually downloading from the internet) are from the US. As I understand it for consoles you need to modify the actual hardware to be able to pirate and frankly I can't imagine a...

    Interplay Website launched, hires Chris Taylor

    I didn't realize that 1 out of 3 = more than half. I have no clue how they would implement combat in FOOL but if they heavily instanced the world then turn based could be possible I guess. Otherwise after seeing how bastardized SPECIAL is in FO3 using real time, I have no clue how one...

    Fallout 1/2 hit GameTap

    Really? I never had any problems with Gametap (except for Second Sight which was that everyone talked with a extremely high pitched voice). Plus unlike the those others you mention Gametap has free games and who can get mad at a free game.

    360 Gamer Hands-On Preview

    So not only is there going to be a lot of combat, but the non-VATS mode is pretty bad. So it sounds like the best tactic is to fire, wait for VATS to recharge and then go again. In other words, combat sounds like a complete failure. Not only is it broken, but repetitive, frustrating...

    UK gets a third Fallout 3 SKU with Figurine

    You'd think with all the money they've been wasting they could afford to put together even a simple demo for the game.
