Fallout 3 - Preview @ Electric Playground

E3 stuff is still dribbling in with Electric Playground the latest site to kick up a Fallout 3 preview:

"Destruction is the new trees," my presenter joked. "Put it everywhere!"

The new graphics engine means sweet new graphical effects. It's about high-time this post-nuclear RPG had proper mushroom clouds, and Fallout 3 puts this power in your hands. One of the new weapons is the Fatman, your "personal nuclear bomb catapult." It launches a large shell that causes a small but potent nuclear explosion. The dust and lighting effects caused by this are spectacular. "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds..." Uhm, sorry. Back to the preview.
