Last week in Japan, thousands attended the 2010 Tokyo Game Show, an event where you’ll see some of the world’s craziest cosplay.
Both press (including IGN) and fans checked out New Vegas at Microsoft’s Xbox booth. Among those that played the game was this guy decked out in Fallout 3 attire.
More awesomeness after the break…
Cheers to our mates over in our London office for sending over these smashing covers .
With a setup like that, you’d think the image above is from a UK publication, but it’s actually from Australia’s PC Powerplay, who checked out Brink, RAGE, New Vegas, and Hunted at this year’s QuakeCon. For Aussies interested in reading their impressions, I’m told it’ll be on newsstands on Friday.
After the break, check out two new covers for Fallout: New Vegas.

After the first day of PAX, where we gave out thousands of Fallout: New Vegas NCR shirts at our booth, the #1 question I heard at our booth was, “Do you have any NCR shirts left?!?!” Even after returning from the show, I’m haunted by the question. Emails, tweets… even people asking me at dinner.
For folks in the US and Canada, I’ve got good news! Planet Fallout has an easy-to-enter contest on their site for a chance to win one of the coveted shirts. For full details, head here.
Earlier in the month, we let you know about the Hunted and RAGE presentations taking place at this year’s Eurogamer Expo (more on that in a bit), but we also wantd you to know we have playable titles at the show. Like QuakeCon and PAX, you’ll have a chance to go hands-on with Hunted, New Vegas and Brink. And with Brink, you’ll even have a chance to chat with with developers from Splash Damage.
One quick programming note, the presentation for Hunted has been moved to 3:30 PM on Saturday, October 2nd. For those wanting to see RAGE, that presentation will be shown each day at 5 PM.
For more details on this year’s show, head to the event’s official site. If you think you’d like to attend, you might want to purchase your tickets now (Saturday’s tickets are already sold out).

Today on the PlayStation Blog (both in North America and Europe), we’re sharing information on the eight companions that can accompany you in Fallout: New Vegas. As mentioned in previous interviews and coverage, while playing the game, you’ll be able to have one humanoid and one non-humanoid companion at anytime.
Head over to Sony’s blog to meet these handy helpers.
If you followed Bethesda Blog leading up to the release of Fallout 3, you may recall a series of blog posts from David Hodgson, author of the Fallout 3 Game Guide. After the amazing work David did for Fallout 3, it was a no-brainer to work with him again for Fallout: New Vegas. Beginning today and in the coming weeks, David will discuss the New Vegas game guide, which you’ll be able to pick up in both regular and collector’s edition flavors when the game releases.
Without further ado, here’s David…
Part 1, New Vegas: New Guide
Since I was lucky enough to be asked back to write the official guide for Fallout: New Vegas, I’ve been working constantly since late May, clocking in around 1,200 man-hours, and trying to trim my word count to within the 300,000 range. During the course of these blog posts, I aim to list some of the guide’s most helpful aspects, so you can see the differences this new adventure brings. To begin, here’s an overview of the Training chapter of the guide:
