Waiting For Fallout 3

Just a little over a month more before Bethesda Software's take on the venerated role-playing classic hits stores. I gotta admit- I can't wait to get my grubby little fingers on my very own copy of Fallout 3.

For those unfamiliar with the title, the Fallout series of role-playing games was set in a post-apocalyptic, alternate reality. Remember the Cold War in the 50's? What if we actually went straight to World War 3 from there? In the Fallout universe, the survivors have been living in underground Vaults for several years, only to come out and find a desolate, wasteland of a world. And that pretty much sets the stage for Fallout.

Usually, you start out as a Vault-dweller, or as a descendant of vault-dwellers, and as you do some exploring and go about your business, you'd probably discover a greater evil on the rise, and you, as the reluctant hero, end up being mankind's last hope.

I'll probably go into the details of the first few games (Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, and the XBox's Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel) in my future posts. For now, it's enough to know that Bethesda Software- the dudes from the hugely successful Elder Scroll series of role-playing games, have so far done a great job in bringing back Fallout from the dead.

Here's the latest Fallout 3 video trailer from GameSpot. Enjoy.

Here's the very first trailer that came out earlier this year, if you missed it:

Fallout 3 comes out on October 28. Not just for the PC, but for the XBox 360 and the Playstation 3 as well. Can't wait!

Cheers, everyone!

Are You Ready For C&C: Red Alert 3?

If you're a fan of the Command & Conquer franchise, then you'll be pleased- even excited- to know that a third game in the Red Alert series is pretty much on its way.

For those of you who aren't quite familiar with the franchise, Red Alert is a real-time strategy game set in an alternate future, where the Allies, the Soviets, and now a third faction- the Empire of the Rising Sun- all go head-to-head in a World War III-scenario using Sonic Tanks, Tesla Coils and Intelligent Dolphins.

Check out this trailer I saw earlier on Gamespot:

Here are a couple other video trailers, just to keep you drooling in the meantime :D

Looks promising. Definitely will be keeping my eyes open for this one. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 drops in stores on October 28 this year.

Cheers, everyone!
