E3 2011: Ten early expo predictions

Think you know what’s going to happen at this year’s E3? Well, so do we. Now let’s see whether or not we agree…

Pre-order Rage to get the Anarchy Edition

Bethesda games are generally must-have games, whether they’re fantasy games like Oblivion or grimly humorous futuristic games like Fallout. Most gamers set aside money just in case a hot new Bethesda game might become available. Their next franchise will be Rage, an apocalyptic first person shooter developed with John Carmack and ID software and it’s due out September 13, 2011. To judge by the videos on the official site, anyone who likes shooters should start saving now.

Interplay asserts its right to make Fallout 6

It’s time for something that has become a weekly trend at Gamertell. Today marks the beginning of another war of words between Fallout owners Bethesda, and former Fallout owners Interplay. The latest exchange is ripe with comments from Bethesda’s vice president of public relations Pete Hines, and Interplay president Eric Caen. The debate is over who truly owns the rights to the Fallout MMO.

Bethesda stands firmly against Interplay’s interpretation of Fallout MMO licensing agreement

Bethesda has responded to Interplay’s latest court filing regarding the company’s disagreement over the trademark licensing agreement for Interplay’s Fallout MMO. This legal battle between the two companies has found its way into media over the past several weeks. Interplay wants to release a Fallout MMO, but Bethesda won’t let Interplay use anything other than the Fallout name. This effectively separates Interplay’s product from anything that made Fallout what it is today. Bethesda has now submitted another court filing that asserts “Interplay is wrong.”

Interplay speaks out against Bethesda’s comments on Fallout MMO license

Interplay and Bethesda have been going back and forth over what Interplay can include in its upcoming (maybe) Fallout MMO. The last time we’ve heard about the matter, Bethesda was calling out Interplay for using Fallout imagery such as Vault Boy and the Fallout logo to promote its MMO. Bethesda alleges it only gave Interplay permission to use the Fallout name in association with the MMO and nothing else. Interplay has now filed a court document explaining the ridiculousness of Bethesda’s claims.

GameStop’s Cyber Monday 2010 sales

GameStop’s Cyber Monday 2010 specials have gone live. They say Cyber Monday is the online equivalent to Black Friday as far as sweet deals go. Whether that statement holds any weight depends on what you’re looking for. Walmart has deals going on all week, but its initial offerings leave much to be desired. Now it’s GameStop’s turn to win you over.

Ten Fallout: New Vegas survival tips

I feel blessed. Although I’ve heard many reports of bugs in Fallout: New Vegas, for some bizarre reason, I’ve been spared any crashes or glitches, beyond occasional clipping. I’ve also seen quite a few walkthroughs for the game. While it’s nice to know what’s going on, there aren’t many guides for making a character that more »

Fallout MMO beta launching in 2012

Fallout: New Vegas is currently satisfying the post-apocalyptic appetites of many gamers. The Fallout universe is very expansive. It covers a large area of land that takes dozens of hours to fully explore. That is what you can expect from the single-player game, but Interplay will up the ante with a Fallout MMO.

Fallout: New Vegas requires 5GB install on PS3

The PS3 mandatory installs continue. This time Fallout: New Vegas is the topic of interest. If you’re planning on buying this game on PS3 on October 19, 2010, make sure you have at least 5GB of free space on your hard drive.

Staying true to form, New Vegas contains 50 Achievements for a maximum of 1000 Achievement points. This number is expected to go up as Obsidian Entertainment has confirmed downloadable content for New Vegas.
