  • Does your barbarian or dwarf warrior need a more interesting weapon? Try this out.
  • What war is really like.
  • Rising star Mark Charan Newton interviews established tie-in writer Dan Abnett about writing tie-in fiction. I’ve you’ve never read Eisenhorn you should – it maybe a Warhammer 40k book but it’s also excellent! And very cheap now it’s in a omnibus format.
  • How we write about the Apocalypse has changed in the last 20 years. And here’s an interesting piece about how Sci-Fi looked at the Cold War. (Both from io9.com which is now on my RSS reader)
  • The Brainy Gamer get into why Dragon Age is filled with “RPG things”.
  • Bioware on what they’ve learned from Bethesda.
  • The AV Club keep up the good work with the latest Gateways to Geekery on Philip K. Dick.
  • And, finally, The Times online has 70 facts you didn’t know about Marvel Comics in honour of Marvel’s 70th birthday. There’s a bunch of other articles there too.

Here’s a quote from the article over on 1up.com,

    During an event to show off its third-party 2009 lineup, Bethesda also announced that a new Fallout title, Fallout: New Vegas (note the lack of a number, we’ll get to that later), will be released next year for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. Following the surprise announcement of a new title so soon, the second surprise is that Bethesda is not developing the title. Instead, Obsidian Entertainment, the studio behind Knights of the Old Republic II and Neverwinter Nights II (and its expansions), will be working on New Vegas. Note, no art was released of this title, so take the above screen, and pretend it has more tacky neon signs.

    This is good news! Firstly I love Fallout, and while I haven’t yet had the chance to finish Fallout 3 (or for that matter spend much time playing it) I have finally decided to take the plunge and actually buy an Xbox 360. Secondly Knights of the Old Republic II was a great game, that was cut way too short. Thirdly, New Vegas sounds like a wicked place to set a Fallout game.

    So I eagerly await more news on this title. But in the mean time read the full article here.

    EDIT: There is another article, with much the same news, over at Game Spot.
