For a game that's not due for another year (Fall 2008), this is looking pretty gruesome. Just looking at the last screen with the headshot gives me goosebumps, heh.

To those unfamiliar with the Fallout series, it's an action-rpg game with both first-person and third-person perspectives that features non-linear gameplay, great stories, and black comedy. It changed developers after the second game, but does look promising.

Teaser Trailer:

For those who want to see just how violent Bethesda is planning Fallout 3 to be (and didn't already check out the latest Game Informer), the developer has released new pictures from the game, including Lucas Simms, one of the first NPCs you encounter outside of the vault who looks eerily like Armand Christophe from Oblivion, and a pretty gruesome headshot care of one unfortunate super zombie.

Gears of War also had some gruesome cranial explosions, but from what we saw at E3, Fallout 3 will up the ante in comical violence. The game isn't due out until Fall 2008.
