Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

While I knew that Fallout: New Vegas was going to be a day one buy for me, it felt as if something was missing.  I mean, if you are going to have a game set in Vegas, you cannot go about leaving out the greatest Vegas icon ever to hit the strip.

Well, Bethesda fixed this issue today with the announcement today with the star studded voice cast for Fallout: New Vegas, headlining it with, you guessed it, Wayne Newton.  Wayne Newton smooth vocals will guide you through the Nevada wasteland as the Mojave DJ.  One has to wonder if he will be on 99.9 FM (trust me, it is a California to Vegas radio joke).

Also joining Wayne Newton, will be Matthew Perry of Friends fame, voicing Benny, a two faced gamgster.  Of course, Ron Perlman will be back as the ever popular narrator dropping his catchphrase, “War.  War never changes”.

And if that was not enough, three characters that can join you on your journey through the wasteland will be voice by high end talent.  Danny Trejo, of Machette fame, will voice Raul the Ghoul, a mechanic and former gun man.  Zach Levi, from Chuck, will voice Arcade, a member of a cult known as the Followers of the Apocalypse, and will have a mysterious past.  Finally, geek favorite and Guild creator, Felicia Day will voice Veronica, a Scribe from the Brotherhood of Steel.

You can see the rest of the voice cast as well as more info on Fallout: New Vegas after the jump.  Fallout: New Vegas is releasing in October 2010 on PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 from Obsidian Studios and Bethesda Softworks.

August 10, 2010 (Rockville, MD) – Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax® Media company, today revealed the star-studded voice over cast for Fallout®: New Vegas™, the follow-up game to the critically acclaimed Fallout® 3. Fallout: New Vegas features Golden Globe-winner and two time Emmy nominated actor Ron Perlman (“Hellboy”, “Sons of Anarachy”), Screen Actors Guild-winner and Emmy and Golden Globe nominated actor Matthew Perry (“Friends”), Mr. Las Vegas himself, Wayne Newton, William Sadler (“Shawshank Redemption”), Zach Levi (“Chuck”), Felicia Day (“The Guild”), Michael Dorn (“Star Trek:The Next Generation”), Kris Kristofferson (“Blade Trilogy,”), Danny Trejo (“Machete”, “From Dusk Till Dawn”), John Doman (“Mystic River”, “The Wire”) and Rene Auberjonois (“Boston Legal”, “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”).

“The Fallout franchise has taken narratives in interactive entertainment to the next level, and we could not be more excited about the all-new celebrity lineup for Fallout: New Vegas,” said Pete Hines, Vice President of PR and Marketing for Bethesda Softworks. “The voice acting provided by these actors helps drive the compelling and immersive story of Fallout and further adds to the overall gameplay experience.”

Ron Perlman returns to voice the narrator in Fallout: New Vegas, a role he has played in every major Fallout game to date. Matthew Perry plays Benny, a smooth-talking, two faced gangster, and Wayne Newton takes on the role as “Mr. New Vegas,” the radio DJ of the Mojave Wasteland.

Three celebrities take on roles as playable companions in Fallout: New Vegas: Danny Trejo is Raul the Ghoul, a mechanic and former gunslinger; Zach Levi is Arcade, a member of the Followers of the Apocalypse who hides a mysterious past, and Felicia Day is Veronica, a sarcastic Brotherhood of Steel scribe.

The epic cast continues with Kris Kristofferson as Chief Hanlon, a grizzled solider at the end of his career, and Rene Auberjonois as the enigmatic and reclusive Mr. House. Michael Dorn reprises his role as Marcus, an intelligent super mutant, who was last seen in 1998’s Fallout® 2; John Doman is Caesar, the charismatic and powerful dictator at the head of Caesar’s Legion. William Sadler plays Victor, a friendly robot with the personality of an old fashioned cowboy.

In addition to this star-studded cast, players can expect to hear even more celebrity cameos throughout the world of Fallout: New Vegas.

Fallout: New Vegas, the follow-up to Fallout 3 – the 2008 Game of the Year – brings this beloved franchise to a location only Fallout could do justice: Vegas.
