Bethesda: Whoa, Uh, We Said Nothing About Bill Clinton
8:00AM Owen Good | Word that President Clinton was sort-of asked to be the voice of Fallout 3’s President Eden arched eyebrows and dropped jaws. But Bethesda’s top spokesman put the kibosh on that ever being a serious idea. More »

Trophy Support Coming To Fallout 3 PS3
2:20AM Mike Fahey | PlayStation 3-owning Fallout fans were a bit dismayed back in September when Bethesda’s Pete Hines revealed that there were no plans to include trophy support for the game at launch, if at all. Between that and the PS3 version turning out to be the special screwed-up edition of the game, Sony owners were definitely not feeling the love, but relief is in sight! Speaking during one of Eurogamer’s always informative Live Chat sessions, Hines confirmed that trophy support for the title was definitely on the way, although he didn’t have an exact ETA. Considering the amount of choice available to Fallout 3 players, I wouldn’t worry about having to go back through and play again..I’ve already completed two more games since my review last week.

Bethesda Nervous About Fallout 3 Review (What’s YOUR Opinion?)
5:00PM Brian Ashcraft | Fallout 3 is out. People seem to like it. The game press is giving the game good reviews so far, but developer Bethesda Softworks divulges it does get nervous about what reviewers think. Says Bethesda’s Pete Hines, “We’re never really sure how these [reviews] will turn out. So in general, we’re always nervous/anxious.” Hines goes on to say that it’s not just the critics who matter, but also the opinions of those gamers who are purchasing the game with their own hard earned cash. So regular gamer people who have bought Fallout 3, put on your critic cap and feel free to let all know what you think. More »

5:00PM Logan Booker | Seems Pete Hines is quite talkative now! First the news that the Aussie-edited version of Fallout 3 is the only version, and now the one (yes, single) change made to the game to conform with classification guidelines. First, some background from Pete:
The chems in the original Fallout used fictional names…Buffout, Jet, Rad-X, etc. Those all appear in Fallout 3 in exactly the same way as before. We had added a new chem to Fallout 3 and had given it a real-world name, Morphine. Questions were raised about the use of that real-world drug, not only in Australia, but other territories as well.
Even though Australia’s a good example of classification gone wrong, I understand it’s not the only country with issues. So, what concession was made to appease aging conservatives the world over?
