Fallout - BoS Welcomed By Some, Not Others

Thanks to GameSpot for their hands-on impressions of Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, the PS2/Xbox action RPG that's set in the world of the seminal PC RPG series. The article comments: "Though we're still in mourning over the passing of Black Isle [and cancellation of Fallout 3 for PC], we're comforted by this new game that's playing as expected thus far." This more action-orientated console title "has the simple and basically entertaining mechanics of Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance", since it "uses the same [game] engine", but Fallout fansite No Mutants Allowed are less forgiving about the cancellation of Fallout 3, ranting to GameSpot: "So you're comforted by the title that got a lot of good people sacked and a very promising title canned?", as they continue to present leaked pictures and team farewells from Fallout 3, as well at looks at obviously-influenced German PC RPG title The Fall: Last Days Of Gaia.

It took 20 minutes for the first post here.... and hours later this is the 7th.

Is this the most boring topic ever posted on Slashdot?

(Or possibly no one got past Saddam getting arrested yet.)

Last days of Gaia?

When I read German and Gaia in the same sentence, I know I have to expect heaps of puke-green envirocrap. Only green loons who believe that baby seals are better left alive than made into fur coats will like this "game".
