Fallout: New Vegas announced

Horrah! another Fallout game, darn I still haven't played Fallout 3.

Released in October of last year, Fallout 3 was met with critical acclaim and commercial success, having shipped 4.7 million units worldwide in its first week. The game also performed well in the awards circuit, taking the top honours at the 2009 Game Developers Choice Awards last month during the Game Developers Conference.

Given that performance, it comes as little surprise that Bethesda Softworks won't be dallying in bringing a follow-up to market. At an event in London today, the publisher announced that a new Fallout game will be coming to the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC in 2010. Titled Fallout: New Vegas, the game is being developed by Obsidian Entertainment, whose most recent works include Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir and the upcoming Alpha Protocol. The studio was also at work on the third-person action title Aliens RPG before Sega canceled it earlier this year.

Street Fighter IV tournament. - Justin Wong VS Daigo Umehara

Last week was a huge-as-heck official Street Fighter IV tournament. Justin Wong and Daigo Umehara, two legendary Street Fighter tournament-level gamers, fought their best in the finals of the GameStop Street FIghter IV National Tournament held in Fort Mason Festival Pavilion, San Francisco. Daigo came up on top, with four wins with his pick, the great equalizer Ryu, while Justin Wong was using the offense-heavy Rufus. It was so frenetic and filled with Focus Cancels to EX attacks to Ultras, that even Capcom U.S community manager, Seth Killian, couldn't keep up with dishing commentary on the match. Daigo can now be officially called the Best Street Fighter IV Player in the World, until he has to defend his title in the upcoming Evo 2009 Championship in July.
