What do they say about Fallout 3?

Set in a post-apocalyptic United States, Fallout 3 is an action role-playing game produced by the same team responsible for the extremely popular Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The story tells of the inhabitant of a fallout shelter in Washington D.C. who learns that his father has left the shelter, and ventured into the wasteland. The ensuing story sees the player attempting to track down his father while battling with mutants and strange creatures and unraveling the mystery of his father’s actions. All previous games in the Fallout series have been rated “M” by the ESRB, with “Blood and Gore” and “Strong Language” prominently featured. Based on early looks at Fallout 3, it seems likely it will be similarly endowed.
