Joystiq gave his Most Satisfyingly Explosive Heads and/or Limbs at E3 Award to Fallout 3:

The Escapist Zero Punctuation : The E3 Trailer Park

In the middle of the video Yahtzee talks a bit about Fallout 3 and Bethesda games. A bit NSFW though. I giggled.

Ricardo “socrates200x” Gonzalez shares his views about the video:
I don’t know. I mean, V.A.T.S. did get knocked down from “groovy pants” to “pants”, which I guess is better than “no [...]

No Cryolator, A Few Misses At MTV Multiplayer

More Fallout 3 talk at MTV Multiplayer blog:
Howard dropped some other bits of info for me. I asked him about novel weapons and the obligatory tactical clichés like melee and range weapons.

E3 Hands On At TGR

Fallout 3 preview at The Games Reviews:

Europe Has A Tougher Crowd Indeed

Fallout 3 preview at Eurogamer:
Perhaps it’s just bad timing. Perhaps it’s unfortunate juxtaposition. Fallout 3 made its E3 debut in a demonstration at Microsoft’s Xbox 360 briefing in close proximity to Gears of War 2 and Resident Evil 5. All of a sudden, in that context, this very special follow-up to some of the most [...]
