Yeeees, a Bethseda game

Fallout 3 – Xbox 360, PS3, PC
Following a global atomic war in 2077, Fallout 3 is set in an expansive post apocalyptic game world where mutants roam and survivors live in underground vaults away from the radiation.

The game combines combat and RPG elements and begins in Vault 101, an underground haven that has been built to protect its resident's from the threat of radiation in the outside world. With radiation comes a twisted set of mutants and creatures who wander around the wastelands looking for fresh meat to savage.

Bethseda is intent on creating a world with limitless freedom and tell us we'll be able to wander around the ruins, where we'll see some of the great momuments of the US. The games revolves around a character points-based system where you can improve yourself in certain abilities and then level up your character where you see fit.

We all know what Bethseda are capable of and I have confidence in them to deliver.Therefore I'll stick my neck on the line and predict that Fallout 3 will be an amazing title and receive plenty of awards come the end of 2008.

Mafia 2 – PC, Xbox 360, PS3
Mafia 2 is the sequel to the original Mafia title that sold more than two million copies worldwide and helped popularise the gangster genre. Featuring a deep mobster-driven narrative packed with both behind-the-wheel and on-foot action, Mafia 2 is the sequel fans have been waiting for.

Like the original Mafia title, Mafia 2 immerses players in the mob underworld of a fictitious late 1940's-early 1950's scenario. Players will easily become engaged in the game's cinematic Hollywood movie experience with strong, believable characters in a living, breathing city. By fusing high octane gunplay with white knuckle driving and an engaging narrative, Mafia 2 looks to be the industry's most compelling Mafia title to date.
