Fallout: New Vegas - Honest Hearts DLC

Steam has just released the latest DLC for Fallout: New Vegas titled Honest Hearts. If the past is any type of indicator this should be the one that everyone wants to buy. Fallout 3's initial DLC offering was severly lacking while the rest were fully realized additions. This being the second addition to New Vegas let's hope Bethesda has put some good time into it. You can get it now on Steam for 9.99


Fallout New Vegas Honest Hearts

An update from the land of the lost

I have been so busy moving this last month I feel like I have completely lost touch with all things gaming... Call of Duty : Black OPS has launched, Gran Turismo 5 has been delayed, un-delayed, delayed again and apparently someone started playing it already... Where does time go?

Thankfully though the man cave has been semi setup in the new house and I can get back to gaming. Fallout New Vegas launched entering the world with a ton of bugs complete with horrible performance even on new machines. Thankfully though a patch released last night through Steam has made it so I can start playing. Normally I would have been irrate over not being able to play a game I purchased but with everything moving entails it was pushed to the back burner.

In the process of moving I picked up a couple more casual centric games on Steam, Plants VS Zombies was on sale during halloween so I grabbed that. I also indulged myself in one of the best tower defense games available at the moment, Defense Grid: The Awakening. Both games were able to satisfy my need for gaming while allowing me to focus on getting everything from one location to the other without losing my mind, or worse one of the kids!

I tried to stay as current as I could during this time keeping up with my RSS feeds, forums and news sites. One little gem I found was a game called FireFall due out in 2011. The game developers call it a "Persistant world shooter" in my opinion you could call it a MMOFPS and be dead on the money. Either way it looks gorgeous and I cannot wait to try it out! Here is the 2010 PAX Video complete with Developer Commentary.

Hopefully I will have some posts up about my thoughts on Fallout New Vegas and Black OPS (Wii Version) soon, stay gamed!

Fallout New Vegas - One of the most evil quests available.

Post apocalyptic world? Check. Various Factions vying for control? Check. Brahimn being roasted with flame throwers? Check. Framing a father for the murder of his own son? It must be Fallout.

G4TV.com Has an exclusive video showcasing one of the more darker quests available in Fallout New Vegas. While the interactions between the hero and the rest of the NPC's was great, the robot made me remember all the twisted humour the Fallout franchise is known for.

A scientific look into the world of Fallout

One of my favorite astro-physicists, Dr. Michio Kaku, takes a look into the world of Fallout, the possibilities of nuclear war, what we might expect after a nuclear war and the possibilities of mutations among the species of the world.




So giant mutated dogs are out, hunger, famine and disease are in. But what about those cool laser weapons?

Fallout: New Vegas, It's the ray gun not the M16

It is no secret that one of my most anticipated games this years is Fallout: New Vegas, the follow up to Fallout 3. The new entry in the series takes place in the Mojave desert 200 years after a mythical world war 3 takes place between the USA and China. Set in the classic 50's era complete with the whole Rat Pack feel the new game promises to bring that same old Fallout feel to new heights.

Unlike Fallout 3 where the player begins life at birth in New Vegas you being the game by getting shot in the head and dumped into a shallow grave. Upon waking up you assume a new player made identity and set out into the world to find out why this has happened to you. In your travels you will visit the iconic city of Las Vegas, re-imagined into the Fallout universe as well as other iconic locations such as the Hoover Damn.

Bethesda promises a few improvements over the last edition in the series, Energy weapons that recharge themselves, weighted ammo required the player to make more drastic decisions about what they take with them out into the world. There is also a machine gun that shoots grenades!

Here are the first three developer diaries from Bethesda going over some of the juicier tidbits. The E3 trailor was included because I absolutely love the song♥

First TV commercial for Fallout: New Vegas released

One of my favorite games over the last few years was Fallout 3. I never had the pleasure of playing the first two Fallout games back in the day, so for me, the 3rd installment was my first time into the wasteland. What a memoriable trip it was too. Full of mutated monsters, slavers, epic scenery and an eerily correct vision of a post apocolyptic washington DC I was instantly hooked in the world. Peppered with comedic 50's styled gags and jokes throughout you would go from laughing to immediately scared out of your mind before you had time to register what it was that happened.






Bethesda is back at it again it seems, with this years Fallout: New Vegas. Set in the same post apocolypic world as the first three fallouts, a world whose time line diverged in the 1950's and where world war 3 really happened, you play the part of a struggling person just trying to get by each day. Shot in the head and left in a ditch you awake to find you have no memory and require facial reconstruction surgeroy, then you set off into the world to see what you can make of it.

I look forward to this newest installment in the series and have no doubts it will become my favorite game of the year within an hour of installing it. (Sorry League of Legends, you will just need to take a back seat for a while♥)
