The wait to explore the nuclear wasteland of post apocalyptic Washington D.C. will soon be over. Earlier today, Bethesda Softworks announced that their anticipated RPG, Fallout 3, has gone gold and will be available in stores and online on October 28 in North America, October 30 in Europe and Australia, and October 31 in the UK for the PS3, Xbox 360 and Games for Windows. Set more than 200 years after a nuclear war, players create a character and explore the wilderness while fighting against dangers like Super Mutants, Ghouls and Raiders.
