Fallout 3 Midnight Launch

By Bill Tangeman | October 28, 2008

Exploration of the post-apocalyptic world begins this morning after Gamestop’s midnight distribution of Fallout 3.  With all the great games releasing over the next couple months, you might expect Gamestop would have cause to open at midnight every Tuesday until Christmas.  Not so, according to the twenty-something Gamestop employee slinging copies of Fallout 3 this morning at my Lincoln, Nebraska store.  According to him, there are only two more games releasing this year that warrant the midnight treatment.  Gears of War 2, launching November 7th, and of course,  World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, launching November 13th.
