So this is pretty crappy. Bethesda and Interplay finally settled their lawsuit over the Fallout MMO rights, and Interplay is being stripped of the rights to make it. This is really kind of sad. The Fallout property is perfect for an MMO and if done correctly, could be really successful. So while Interplay may not be making a Fallout MMO anymore, maybe we can hope that Bethesda will do it somewhere down the road. I would play it that’s for sure. Joystiq has all the details on the settlement.

So do you have a bunch of old games just laying around with no console to play them on? Now you can easily play them on your PC while still using the original controller! Hit the break for details.

In case you are wondering where I have been recently, I have been trying to play catch up on all of the games that I have recently acquired. Both Steam and Amazon have been having some amazing deals going on and over the past week or so I have purchased no less than 15 games. What’s even better is that most of the games that Amazon is selling are redeemable on Steam. If you are lacking in your game library, or didn’t get everything you wanted for Christmas, be sure to check out the sales both vendors are doing. They update every day with new deals so check back often.

What is it with this week? All of the big games have decided to be released right around each other! First we had Modern Warfare 3, then we had Skyrim, and now we have Super Mario 3D Land out for the 3DS handheld! So many great games, so little time! Hit the jump for more details.

So this is out today. I have been waiting for this game to come out since second I beat Oblivion. I ended up with over 125 hours of played time in Oblivion. I wonder if Skyrim will be able to keep my attention that long as well? The Elder Scrolls series is one that you can generally never go wrong with. Hopefully it won’t have game stopping bugs on release day.

I have been playing MW3 for a little while now, and ran across an unfortunate bug that would cause the game to crash. This is obviously a pretty serious issue as a crashing in a game like this, really ruins the pacing of the game. But even after reloading the game and playing that section again, you would still inevitably get the “Reliable Command Buffer Overflow” error after crashing to the main menu. After trying to avoid this bug 4 or 5 times, I turned to Google. As always, Google is your friend. Hit the break to see how to avoid this bug and continue playing the game!

For those of you living under a rock, what could arguably be the best selling (if not most controversially developed) game of the year was released today. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 hit the retail and digital shelves today. I have already played a little bit of this game and can tell you that it is quite good. I don’t think you will regret picking it up. Go have some fun and maybe I’ll see you online!

It’s official! Blizzard has announce the 4th major expansion to the World of Warcraft franchise called Mists of Pandaria! A new race, class, and continent are being introduced in this expansion pack, as well as several other awesome things. Hit the break for the trailer and more details
