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

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:

Best of E3 at Edge-Online

Edge-Online puts Fallout 3 in their Best of E3 list:
Not much on show, but VATS targeting system looks like it might challenge gaming conventions. As you’d expect from Bethesda, a rich, textured world and dashes of humor. E3 didn’t especially enhance this game’s awesome reputation, but we trust Bethesda to deliver.
