Voodoo Extreme has a short article about their impressions from the hands-on demo at PAX, using it mostly to explain VATS:
<blockquote>Moving on, I tried a few different quests this time around. I wasn't able to play everything, as some were extremely spoiler-riffic, but I managed to meet a few new non-player characters and get my mass destructification on. The highlight (there wasn't even a close second) was finding a fully functional flame-thrower. After messing around with weenie pistols and rustic, barely functional rifles, it felt gratifying being able to flat out disintegrate people. Maybe it was surround sound, bass-tastic speakers they had in the trailer, but you could really tell the difference when using higher-end weaponry.</blockquote>Kotaku also has a short article about Bethesda's Fallout 3 exhibit at PAX
<blockquote>The central booth features kiosks of playable Fallout 3, singed mannequins, and an honest to god Airstream motor home on a patch of faux grass surrounded by white picket fences.
The Bethesda folks tell me that the Airstream is an authentic, not a replica, that the company purchased and then paid someone to clean-up and retro fit. Inside the refrigerated air of the mobile home is a wealth of retro goodies touched-up with a Fallout ambiance.
There are, for instance, old Life magazines, a refrigerator packed with ice cold Nuka Colas, a wood panel framed flat screen television and a waffle iron of the future. You can tell it's from the future by the mini radar dish protruding from the top griddle</blockquote>Voodoo also has a better photo of the display:<blockquote><center>
