Welcome to another list of links to various articles and minor newsbits all over the web concerning Fallout games. If you want to propose a link to be included in the next tidbit post, simply post it in a comment under this one.

Kombo.com looks back at Fallout 3 DLC.

OXM is looking forward to Fallout: New Vegas. Don't forget that they'll have first info about it in their next issue.

They're also looking for new jobs for Vault Boy.

Gamersyde is also waiting for New Vegas:

Curious that they mentioned Obsidian in the context of Alpha Protocol, but only Bethesda in the context of New Vegas.

IGN has a comparison editorial on Fallout 3 vs. Metro 2033.

Also, apparently Fallout 3 has a curious cameo in the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. Maybe it's not the best choice i(…)

The court did not grant Bethesda's request for a preliminary injunction against Interplay, which would stop the company from selling Fallout Trilogy and other such packs, as well as from working on Project V13. However, Bethesda does not give up and is trying to appeal the ruling.

Bethesda is now represented by Steptoe and Johnson, LLC and DLA Piper (one of the biggest law firms in the world), which previously represented Bethesda, has officially withdrawn from the case. Apparently Bethesda was not happy with their performance in the preliminary injunction hearing.

Aside from that, orionquest, one of Interplay's shareholders, has posted several excerpts from actual court transcripts at No Mutants Allowed. The post itself is of course biased in fav(…)

Bethesda's Todd Howard can be heard in lots of places these days. He was recently interviewed by Kotaku Talk Radio as well as NPR.

On Kotaku, he said that even though ZeniMax acquired id Software and its id Tech 5 engine, they are going to stick with their version of the GameBryo engine for their next big game they're making since they finished Fallout 3, updated and retooled to some extent.

Asked about Obsidian Entertainment's Fallout: New Vegas, Howard did not give any details (we'll have to wait for next month's OXM for that), but he said:

Howard also said that while Bethesda Softworks as such might publish some third-party projects for the Wi(…)

The #56 issue of the Official Xbox Magazine goes on sale tomorrow, and it is of no interest to Fallout fans, aside from one thing - the information that in the next issue, #57, which goes on sale on February 11, we will find the first, world exclusive information about Obsidian Entertainment's Fallout: New Vegas (not in Game Informer, as earlier rumors said). Will the rumored information turn out to be correct anyway? Stay tuned!

Update: Duck and Cover asked John Hicks, OXM editor, why the magazine calls New Vegas a Bethesda game, rather than an Obsidian one. Here's the response:

Which confirms that image itself is not an actual Fallout: New Vegas screenshot, but rather a quick photoshop of a Fallout 3 screenshot and the Vegas sign.

Bethesda Softworks's Todd Howard will be the guest of tomorrow's Kotaku Radio podcast.

Who knows, maybe he'll mention something about Fallout: New Vegas? I'm sure it will be something a lot of the callers might be interested in.
