I Am Fallout 3
Ever since Bethesda Softworks took over the Fallout series and began work on the third installment, veteran fans and gamers all over have been crafting their own radiation suits in anticipation. Recently, Bethesda has been giving the media the chance to see working versions of Fallout 3, and the reports are overwhelmingly positive. Of course, most studio-invite reports are… but this is different.
Sure, there are some ignorant gamers out there screaming that Fallout 3 is nothing more than a STALKER clone, but that is to be expected. What is really impressive about Fallout 3 is just how trusting the gaming community is of Bethesda Softworks! For a small upstart company, one of the only mainstream video game developers on the East coast, they seem to be doing an amazing job.
Gamespot recently got their hands on a playable version of Fallout 3. I skimmed through their report because most of it is just developer pandering, but there are always some informative gems to be discovered.

One of best things I noticed is the inclusion of a K-9 companion:
Okay, so Fallout 3 has all the stuff I love:
-
Post-apocalyptic setting? Check.
-
Strange mutants and creatures? Check.
-
K-9 companion? Check.
All they need to do now is cast Will Smith to voice the main character. Yeah, so maybe that’s a little much, but regardless, Fallout 3 is a game to get excited about.
