Despite the closure of PC sweethearts Black Isle Studios and the presumed end of the Fallout franchise, the first console Fallout effort has still made it to store shelves. Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel takes a Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance-style top-down approach to presentation in a full 3D environment, mixing in healthy does of Fallout's quirky 50's style post-apocalyptic charm.



The same sense of humor, character style and environments from the previous Fallout games have been retained, as well as a strict adherence to the people and "races" of the post-bomb world everyone now inhabits, including Mutants, Ghouls and plenty of irradiated and super-sized monsters (feel the power of a giant radscorpion in 3D!).



Brotherhood of Steel should be on store shelves starting today or tomorrow, available for $49.95, and we should have a review up shortly afterward (blame our stupid adherence to actually finishing games before we review them on the delay, sorry folks).
