    Fallout 3 Officially Banned in Australia

    It's the stance of one single Attourney General from South Australia who won't budge on the issue of introducing an R18 classification for games. If we had a higher rating than MA15+ then none of this controversy would be happening. For the rating to be introduced all AG's have to unanimously...

    “Bethesda Softworks Can Suck It”

    What was World of Warcaft then? MMO's are the most expensive games to develope, and making an mmorpg out of an RTS franchise [even with the hero aspect of WC3] would be alot higher risk than doing so to an already established RPG. It's almost as though people forget that WoW was a step...

    Fallout 3 PS3 tidbits

    Thats pretty much why the PC version will look better if you have a relatively new GPU, the 360 is basically just a stripped down PC running late 05/early 06 hardware. A semi decent PC built today can put out significantly better performance than the 360 is capable of in higher resolutions with...

    Not to be picky but Picard is one of the first voices you hear in Oblivion, he's the king who enters your cell.

    Words are just sounds or symbols used to convey a message and as long as you can understand it's meaning whether or not something is an "actual word" isn't important.

    DX10 compatability doesn't mean you cant play in DX9, also both the Xbox360 and PS3 have graphics cards that do not support the extra features of DX10 so one would have to assume that PC version will not require it.

    I would find that highly unlikely considering the Xbox 360 (lead platform) is essentially a low end PC. It's cpu is equivalent to early dual cores, gpu a little bit better than a 7800gtx (256 MB), 512 MB ram (it needs less than a PC because it doesn't have as much running in background however...

    Fallout 3 video interview

    It's not just you, beating the odds is always satisfying, however if the odds are stacked against you too often rolling those dice can be a painfully frustrating experience.

    Ghoul Radiation Attack?

    Probably because healing spells hurt undead so a healing option for undead parties/players was needed

    Film also has motion blur which has the effect of melding the action one frame to the next.

    Emil Pagiarulo doesn't say anything on VATS and PA issue

    The thing with WoW though is that the main reason DPS isn't the most important stat is the way special attacks are worked, mostly Instant attacks but also a couple of others (Slam, windfury). These attacks are out of sequence with the normal swing timer and as such favour slower weapons because...

    The PS3 vs Xbox 360 power power difference from my understanding isn't much if at all. The Cell processor is technically more powerful but is a different beast entirely compared to the Xbox and PC processors and it has its advantages and also disadvantages. Also afaik the xbox has a better GPU...
