"The details of the settlement have been made public and Bethesda now has full rights to the the Fallout Intellectual Property and to develop their own Fallout MMO. Interplay had allegedly begun development on the Fallout MMO with Masthead Studios but a second lawsuit by Bethesda resulted in Masthead no longer having any rights to the franchise either, leaving Bethesda in full control of all future Fallout games, and aborting any Fallout MMO that was in the works."
PSBeyond's top 5 sci-fi games of all time. The top 5 games ever made to feature a prominent sci-fi element. In a setting shared by so many games, which ones pull it off best?
Video games feature many characters and beast. "Dog" characters is a common theme among some video games. In the link there's the top ten best video game dogs of all time. Check them out.
GOG.com is having a pretty cool sale from now until July 4th. What's in store for those that are interested? Well how about all 32 of their Interplay games for $2.99 a piece?
"To play through just one of the several possible storylines can take up to 50 hours, so it's little wonder that players often go looking for a little help when they come to the crossroads.
That's where The Vault comes in. It's an enormous repository of knowledge about the Fallout universe maintained by a community of fans in a similar way to Wikipedia.
Inside The Vault are 11,532 pages of information about every quest, character and location in the Fallout series, generated by more than..."
"Last night’s broadcast of GameTrailers TV is now online – watch above to learn more about Fallout: New Vegas from the game’s Project Director, Josh Sawyer. Use the slider above to search for the segment (it follows info on the latest God of War game), or watch it in HD at GameTrailers.com (just skip ahead to Chapter 3)."
"In an SEC filing by Interplay posted today the company has revealed they do not plan on dropping their counter-suit against Bethesda over the Fallout franchise. Early today it was revealed Bethesda had dropped their appeal for an injunction that would effectively halt development of the Fallout MMO and Interplay's ability to sell past Fallout titles."
"We contacted the Fallout publisher to find out its reaction, and were told, "Well he is a big part of our Fallout brand and is copyrighted, so, yeah, deciding on your own to use him to promote your business or product, or to sell stuff, or whatever, without getting permission from us ... not a good idea." Ruh oh!"
"Some 300 people participated in the game, working with workshop group, tech support group and emergency/medical services. And, of course, the players themselves, who prepared for the game over the course of many months. Much was accomplished by the workshop crew: sealed military bases, including the memorable Sierra from Fallout II, were built; plot and game coordination accomplished, including rapid response by the creators to changes in game environment. Players were hard at work as well. T..."
"Why would Zenimax and Bethesda buy the exclusive Fallout rights? Quite simply, ownership leverage. Acquiring the licensing rights allows Zenimax to set ludicrous conditions for Interplay and purposely led them to believe they would still be working on the MMO."
Keeping on with digital distribution service Good Old Games' Fallout week, we present to you a Fallout 2 retrospective interview.
In this one, we hear from the game's designers, as well as those who weren't involved after the first time and how they compare the two games. It's a great story which goes into a lot of the factors working against the team at the time -- a must-read for any Fallout fan.
Interesting to note is the Fallout MMO that seemed to be canned by Bethesda (who would ov...
Fallout Online -- I don't think many of you knew it was being made, did you?
Original IP holders Interplay are thought to be working on the Fallout Online MMORPG game. Interplay published Fallout 1&2, before Bethesda bought the IP and used the license for their RPG-lite FPS blockbuster Fallout 3.
Fallout Online (also known by code-name Project V13) has been in development for more than a year now, though it has not been officially confirmed that Interplay has secured enough money to s...
"inXile entertainment today announced that Jason Anderson, one of the original Fallout design team members, has joined the company as creative director for a new, unannounced Role-Playing Game (RPG) from inXile. Anderson recently left Interplay, where in his second tenure there served as creative director working on the Next-Generation MMO Project: V13."

Timeslip, not a name known to many unless you play Bethesda Softwork games like me and more specifically PC versions of each. After scurrying around the RSS feeds of the Beth Blog, a blog kept by Bethesda Softworks to, well ramble while keeping the public informed that they are actually working and that they are human beings like us, I had found this little gem which Beth Soft have been doing for awhile.

GiantRealm has done up a cool article which recommends six classic PC titles that you can run on any PC these days. A note about one of the listed titles, Deus Ex: soon it'll be a great time to get into it (whether you're a DE virgin or not) with the HDTP overhaul it's getting.
The article comes complete with some great footage too. For example...
Yes, we're big Fallout whores here at GameGrep/Neoseeker.

What do gamers do when people in America are going to the booths to vote? They hold their own elections, for video game characters of course!
Take your pick from the likes of Sackboy, Tom Nook... and even 12-Pack! Even gamers like a good old beer now and then, right? Each candidate has a badge, their promises and their slogan.
So who gets your vote?
Have you ever gotten so swept up in a game's storyline that you never want it to end? Have you ever played a game and thought, "wow, if only all game plots were this amazing"? GamesRadar has. Here are their top 15 list of best video game storylines ever. One of my personal favorites is in the quote.
Naturally, this list will have major spoilers.
Go to the source for the full list.
"That leaves the unwashed masses, gamers who never delighted in the fruits of Interplay's Fallout and Fallout 2. Sure, they'll enjoy killing mutants and barking orders at the in-game dog, but will they really pick up on the underlying narrative, one built on several hundred years of fictional history? We honestly cannot say, but our nights are spent gripped in cold terror for the lot of you. Not really, but it sounds much more dramatic that way. In any event, every Fallout survivor knows that ..."
"Plenty of people use non-expensive laptops and desktop pcs for simple school projects, music management, and web browsing. A lot of these people are also gamers, but don't buy games for their PCs because they think that their setup can't handle anything beyond Bejewled. Well they're wrong. I happen to be one of those gamers. I got my laptop last Christmas and ignorantly popped in the Orange Box and after the lengthy install, dove into Half-Life 2. It wasn't pretty. I thought my computer was g..."
"Fallout 3 is downright misleading. How so? Spin Offs have occured: see Fallout Tactics, (but do not see Fallout Brotherhood of Steel). If any of those games were called Fallout 3, god help me, we would not have to have this debate. This game is no different. Besides mythology there is no similiarity. My envisioning of Fallout 3 is that it should have the same isometric view, but take advantage of all that fancy smancy technology of now - I am talking about blood stains that stay forever, the ..."
