As a result, there are a few pieces of news that we might have missed. Things like… release dates for upcoming games. Let’s try and catch up with some of the bigger release date announcements right now, shall we?
Fallout: New Vegas will become that much larger and more intriguing this time next week with the release of the ‘Old World Blues’ downloadable add-on, which will place you in the role of a lab rat trapped in a research facility trying to survive against “deadly Robo-Scorpions, technological terrors and… bigger, more atomic versions of these things.”
Just remember to hold onto your skin, brain and other important bits before watching the debut trailer for Old World Blues:
As is tradition with Bethesda Softworks’ Fallout 3/Fallout: New Vegas games and add-on content, right from the get-go players can expect to encounter a variety of odd behaviour, glitches, peculiarities and outright bugs (the digital kind) to add a bit of… flavour to the experience.

Well my experience reviewing Fallout: New Vegas has been quite astounding, and in that I mean it was unfortunately not as enjoyable to play as I had hoped. Taking into consideration that I am a fan of the Fallout series, having played all iterations since the original Fallout released in 1997 nevermind two entire play-through’s of Fallout 3, I had high expectations thus I was very excited to get my hands on New Vegas. Essentially it’s a repackaging of the same game engine that powered Fallout 3, add to that the stellar job that Bethesda Softworks did with Fallout 3 in addition to the company’s high production values and story-telling abilities; the game should have been flawless as the engine is already 2 years mature.
