  New Fallout Game Stars Hellboy, Felicia Day And Wayne Newton

  With the next Fallout game being set in Sin City, it’s only natural the game would star the vocal talents or Mr. Las Vegas, Wayne Newton. Newton is in the game as the disembodied voice of a radio DJ long dead. Which is a bit of a shame. You’d think that were an atomic apocalypse…
