RPGFan: a detailed review of "Featured Selections from the Fallout 3 Soundtrack." The preorder bonus gift from Bethesda features some incredible music from way back when, as well as some original compositions from Inon Zur. If this is any indication of things to come, we can be sure that Fallout 3 will be great in *every* way, music included.

A treatise on how to rank old games to new games.

This month, I've written an editorial about the potential for Burnout (the psychological condition, not the game) in developers, and how we can see the effects of burnout in a studio's output (found regularly in sequels and series, which may exist only because of a publisher's strong-armed persuasion).

Read it. Talk about it.

Feel free to read!
