Be sure to tune into G4′s X-Play tonight for a special one-hour edition. The first half of the show will be business as usual, as they’ll be covering last week’s Tokyo Game Show. After that, they’ll be airing their Fallout 3 Special that you won’t want to miss.
The action starts at 8 p.m. eastern time. Check your local listings for more details.
As previously reported on Joystiq, Fallout 3 has taken over Metro Center in Washington DC. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend checking it out. When I took a visit last week, it was a trip seeing different people staring and talking about the displays. When I talked to this guy shown below, he marveled at the image and wondered if it was from another movie like 300.
If you’re not able to see them in person, I’ve included some new photos from various locations within Metro Center. Oh yeah, and head to our Fallout 3 Official site to download three new wallpapers based on the Metro advertising.

Happy Monday to all! Found a few things I thought you’d like to check out.
Blinzler from Planet Fallout has a new feature to help prep folks for the release of Fallout 3. The series begins with Part 1: Creatures of the Wasteland.
In interview news, there’s a pair of new interviews worth reading. At GamaSutra, Todd talks about the process of creating Fallout 3, while Pete tackles questions at Big Download. Here’s a snippet from the former:
How does it feel, by the way, to have been making games for that period of time, and especially having one series that has existed for so long?
Todd: Well they take so long, so it’s not like we’ve made many games. It’s good. I mean, I think we’re lucky, in that the audience for what we do hasn’t gone away. It’s gotten bigger, if anything. It’s gotten a lot bigger. So, we’re fortunate that we can make those kinds of games that we want to play.
Finally, on GameTrailers, I found this video of the Frag Dolls interviewing Todd at PAX. Check out the embedded video below.
That’s all for now.
Last night’s episode of GameTrailers TV with Geoff Keighley is now available to view on their website. The episode is split into four segments, which includes new footage of the game and interviews with Gavin, Istvan, Emil and Todd. Additionally, the episode features an interview with Fallout 3 composer, Inon Zur.

Update: If you want to go straight to gameplay videos without the interviews, GameTrailers has four videos available in SD/HD on their site.
Last week I felt very lucky to be one of the few folks with a LittleBigPlanet beta key. While I created very little, I’ve had a blast playing the game. This week I’ve got company, as a few devs were able to track down a beta key. I can’t wait to see these guys come up with. Will Daryl create his next RenTest? He better get cracking, the beta ends this weekend.
Here’s the rundown of the other games we’re playing.
Daryl Brigner, Level Designer: Mount & Blade, Brothers in Arms: HH, and Little Big Planet Beta.
Larry Waldman, QA: LittleBigPlanet Beta (thanks Nghi), Fable 1.
Craig Lafferty: LittleBigPlanet Beta, Fallout 3.
Quick update on some new stuff on the PlayStation Store. We’ve put up two Fallout 3 themes for you to download — Brotherhood of Steel and Pip-Boy. Istvan helped put these together, and both feature unique icons from the Fallout universe. If you enter the PlayStation Store and search by title, you’ll find these free downloads under Fallout 3.
Additionally, the October episode of Qore is up and features Fallout 3. You can download it for $2.99.
Boot up your PS3 and check them out.
Announced earlier in a press release, the December issue of OXM will feature the first review of Fallout 3. The magazine should be hitting subscribers any day (maybe even as we speak), and will hit newsstands a week before the game hits shelves — October 21st.
With the announcement that Fallout 3 has officially gone gold, we’ve put up the minimum and recommended requirements to play the game on PC.

It’s Wednesday – so here comes another Penny Arcade Fallout comic. It’s not just any comic though…it’s the final one. Head over to the Fallout 3 Official Site to see how the saga of the Vault 77 Dweller ends.
While you might be sad to see the comic go away, I’ll try to turn that frown upside down. At my desk, I’ve got some leftover goodies from PAX to giveaway. From amongst the schwag, five lucky winners will win a Vault Dweller’s Survival Guide. Additionally, three very lucky winners will win Survival Guide, a signed Fallout 3 poster, and one of the coveted Fallout 3 puppets.
Here’s the basic rules:
Good luck!
