Fallout 3 will be available in the US on Oct 28th and in Europe on Oct 31st (Trick or Treat?) according to the <a href="http://fallout.bethsoft.com/eng/home/pr-082008.php">official site</a>:
<br>
<blockquote>August 20, 2008 (Rockville, MD) – Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax Media company, announced today that its highly anticipated title, Fallout® 3, will be available on store shelves and online in North America on October 28, 2008 and in Europe on October 31, 2008. Developed at Bethesda Game Studios – creators of the 2006 Game of the Year, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion® – Fallout 3 is slated for release on the Xbox 360®video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, and Games for Windows.
<br>
<br>
“We are very excited to let gamers get their hands on Fallout 3, the latest chapter in this beloved and highly acclaimed franchise,” said Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda Softworks. “To meet the huge demand for this title by our fans worldwide, we are planning one of the biggest launches of any game released this year.”
<br>
<br>
Fallout 3 features one of the most realized game worlds ever created. Set more than 200 years following a nuclear war, you can create any kind of character you want and explore the open wastes of Washington, D.C. however you choose. Every minute is a fight for survival as you encounter Super Mutants, Ghouls, Raiders, and other dangers of the Wasteland.
<br>
<br>
Hailed as one of the most anticipated games for 2008, Fallout 3 has already won numerous awards including Best of Show from the official Game Critics Awards at E3 2008, a selection voted on by an independent group of journalists from 36 leading North American media outlets that cover the videogame industry.</blockquote>

Sometimes I wonder what is the point in making a post-nuclear game taking place 200 years after a nuclear war. But that's just me. Fallout2 wasn't my cup of tea, either, it was too much of a developed world already.

What is a Realease Date? :D

Well, since a lot of people consider Fallout 3 to be just Oblivion with a new skin, maybe it's a combination of release and re-release...?

Nah, I got nothin'.

Nah, I'm too drunk! I can't work under these circumcisions!

Seriously, what kind of world do we live in where a game that hasn't even been released yet can win awards? That's like putting all my sperms in the phone book.

Dudes, I can't wait for this game to come out. Seriously, imagine all the 10/10 reviews two actual weeks before the game is released. Imagine the nerd rage, the DRAMA! It's gonna be fuckin epic!

:staring towards the horizon with dreamy eyes:

The game will definitely suck though. :|

I swear, playing with dead games is just as fun as playing with games that are alive. Maybe the same could be said about the ladies? I'm gonna try it out!

Honestly guys? Chill. All franchises turn to shit eventually. It's the natural order of things. We got two great games and one good JA-clone. Let's be happy about that. That's more than most other game franchises get.

Yes.

I like how people bash fallout 2 just for having lulz but forget that it had everything else that made fallout - fallout. Non-linearity, C&C, the same good gameplay plus dialogue stat checks (FO1 didn't have that).
FOPOS and FO3 didn't/won't even come close to that.

Oh I wish. Prepare yourself for Fallout 4: Quest for the sex chipz and Fallout 5: BOSS Strikez back, not to mention FOOL. This corpse is going to twitch for a long, long time.
