The latest updates from Bethseda's blog13 november 2008Plenty of Fallout-related news popping up across the web. Let’s get started.
If you’re missing the weekly Penny Arcade Fallout comics, there’s plenty of other comics filling the void.

Wrapping up the comic coverage, Ctrl-Alt-Delete has a Fallout 3 comic of their own.
In other news, the guys at Planet Fallout have some new features on their site. This week they unveiled their Interactive Capital Wasteland Map, as well as new game databases. Both are extremely useful, and contributions from the community are welcome.
Reviews are still making their way online — including the LA Times, Yahoo! Games, GameTactics, Games for Windows, and the Sydney Morning Herald.
Finally, at Game Design as Cultural Practice, Metro DC Area resident Bobby Schweizer reflects on how Fallout 3 has allowed him to explore the DC Metro in a new way.

New games for Windows Live update:
As reported on Major Nelson’s blog, there’s a new update now available for Games For Windows Live. If you haven’t already received the update already, the next time you play Fallout 3 (or any LIVE-enabled title), you’ll be prompted for an update that gives you a new LIVE guide. To see how the guide looks, Major Nelson has a Flickr page showing what the guide looks like.
Don’t forget that Fallout 3’s downloadable content will be exclusively available on Games for Windows Live and Xbox Live. This new update, which features a revamped interface and in-game guide, is the first step for Games for Windows Live Marketplace, where you’ll find our downloadable content.
