Fallout 3 Contest

Bethesda has announced a new contest celebrating the 10th anniversary of Fallout.

To honor the occasion they're holding a "Design a Perk" contest where Fallout fans can design a new Perk for Fallout. The winner will have their Perk included in Fallout 3 and will have their choice of either a PC or Console Grand Prize pack that includes all sorts of goodies!

Aside from the grand prize, Bethesda will also be giving away a bunch of other cool stuff to the best of the rest, such as Logitech gear and Fallout 3 stuff, and some prizes will be given away at random... so you might as well sign-up!

A whole bunch of BioShock reviews are starting to roll in, and they're making the game look really nice. I can't wait to get my hands on it!!! Oh, and I found some other interesting stuff too...

IGN's BioShock Review - The first of many reviews of the game. This one has a very impressed 9.7 grade.

GameSpy's BioShock Review - A perfect 5 out of 5. A lot of great things to say about the game, and few complaints. They feel the game is a tad on the short side, which seems to be a common complaint.

1Up's BioShock Review - Not suprisingly, another perfect score. They give it an excellent 10!

Fallout 3 Preview on CVG - Computer and Video Games take a look at the upcoming RPG sequel from Bethesda. Fallout fans will want to read this one because there's a good deal of info here.

Rune Factory: A fantasy Harvest Moon Review at IGN - Harvest Moon makes its way to the DS in a game that IGN is calling one of the best of the series!

Blue Dragon Reviewed at GameSpy - A final grade of 8.0, similar to what IGN gave the game a few days ago. I had higher expectations, although 8 is still solid.

Fallout MMO News

Interplay has made a few comments regarding the upcoming Fallout MMORPG!

Despite major financial trouble over the last few years, Interplay appears to be on the uprise and has announced double the profit since this time last year. At a recent money-matters talk, Interplay officially announced plans to work on a Fallout MMO. No developer for the MMO has been announced yet, but Interplay's CEO, Harvey Caen, recently made these comments:

"With that difficult period behind us, we are focused on securing funding for development of a Massively Multiplayer Online Game based on the popular Fallout franchise."

The upcoming Fallout MMO appears to be of great importance to Interplay, and an integral part of their resurgence. Caen continued, "Along with our strategy of leveraging our existing portfolio of intellectual gaming properties, Fallout Online will play a key role in the future of Interplay."

A few months back Interplay sold all of their rights to the Fallout series to Bethesda, who is now working on Fallout 3. As part of the agreement, Interplay licensed the rights to the Fallout MMO from Bethesda and has four years to complete the game. Seeing as they are currently securing funding for it and no developer has been announced, chances are they haven't started it yet.

Thanks to Eurogamer for the news.

Liam Neeson in Fallout

Bethesda has announced that acclaimed actor Liam Neeson will lend his voice the main protagonist's father in Fallout 3.

“This role was written with Liam in mind, and provides the dramatic tone for the entire game,” said Todd Howard, Executive Producer of Fallout 3. “Liam is absolutely amazing to work with.”

Neeson is known for his work in films like Star Wars: Episode One and Batman Begins.
