Hailed as one of the most anticipated games for 2008, Fallout 3 has already won numerous awards including Best of Show from the official Game Critics Awards at E3 2008, a selection voted on by an independent group of journalists from 36 leading North American media outlets that cover the videogame industry.
Fallout® 3 has not yet been rated by the ESRB.

I don't think the date will be pushed back, there would surely be massive suicides and mayhem from depressed/angry gamers, all for which Bethesda would be held judicially accountable.

Now talking seriously, from what I gather from all the hands-on previews the game in pretty much finished. they are just cleaning up and fixing (mostly) minor bugs. It should be shipped on time!

The only thing I feared a while back was that the console versions would arrive much earlier than the PC version, but that's not the case either.  just two months to go...
