GameTrailers Editors Rail On ESRB Over Fallout 3 Fallout
Of all the smacktalk that goes on in the video game industry, we didn't expect these two parties to have a go at each other. Between developers, studio heads and console manufacturers — and occasionally community director versus producer — there's plenty of fodder for mudslinging fun. The most recent episode of GameTrailers' "Invisible Walls" podcast, however, is just kind of a bum out. It touches on a recent request from the ESRB to various media outlets, including GameTrailers, that they pull any and all Fallout 3 trailers. More »

Fallout 3 Moves 4.7 Million Copies
The nice folks at Bethesda Softworks are just about as pleased as punch with the launch of Fallout 3, to the point where they've decided to cut loose with a press release just to let everyone known how well things are going. Released just last Tuesday for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Games for Windows platform, Bethesda has shipped an estimated 4.7 million copies of the game to retail outlets all across North America and the UK, representing retail sales of more than $300 million - that's a million times the amount of money I have in my bank account right now. Of course those are shipping numbers, but the sales have been flowing quite nicely as well. More »

Fallout 3 Kicks Its Drug Habit, Thanks To Australian Intervention
When Australia's Office of Film and Literature Classification board refused to rate Fallout 3, it did so due to one too many drug references. Apparently, the virtual use of opiates in-game — "material promoting or encouraging proscribed drug use,” in OFLC-speak; "chems" in game speak — is frowned upon. The uptight Aussies later cleared the game for release, giving Fallout 3 an MA15+ rating, but only after Bethesda Softworks cleaned up its act. More »

Fallout 3 Fights Violence With Violence
As a series, Fallout has always celebrated a dark, often humorous world punctuated by brief moments of brutality. But how do you find the balance when the series enters a 3D world? Bethesda's Peter Hines explains:We don't want [violence] to be the focal point of the game, but it is what it is. It's a violent world, and so the combat should be violent as a result.

Bethesda Grows European Publishing Arm
Fallout 3 developer Bethesda looks to take a more direct approach to the European market as parent company ZeniMax Media opens a London office to facilitate self-publishing of titles across Europe under the Bethesda Softworks brand. Located in the heart of London's West End, ZeniMax Europe is being head up by industry vet Sean Brennan. "We are happy to be part of the ZeniMax family," said Sean "Building upon their great reputation and extending their direct reach throughout Europe and the UK is an exciting, new phase in the expansion of the company."We are happy to be part of the ZeniMax family," said Sean "Building upon their great reputation and extending their direct reach throughout Europe and the UK is an exciting, new phase in the expansion of the company."

Bethesda Mum On Oblivion PSP Cancellation

The Lunchbox Of Happiness
Upon arriving at the styling Helix Hotel in downtown Washington DC, the man at the desk informed me that there was a special gift waiting for me in my hotel room. I rushed up the elevator...somehow, and into my room to find...free coffee! Completely complimentary! Unfortunately my room had been missed in the swag rush, but I was hooked up the next day at Bethesda with this awesome Vault-Tec lunch box, with faux vintage ads on both sides. Within it I discovered a Fallout 3 t-shirt (a 2X, no less!), a can of Nuke Cola, and the amazing Vault Boy bobblehead, whose thumbs up pose is perfect for validating anything in your life, except perhaps ignoring airport security rules.
