Ignition 8/02/10
On this weeks installment of Ignition the team fail to find any video game news to talk about so instead: Josh discusses all the content that was been uploaded to the site last week leading to discussion about Fallout 3: New Vegas and Bioshock 2; Matt talks about the latest series of Lost and tries to explain the plot so far to The Others (only Lost fans will get that joke); then Stevie discusses a famous finnish figure: Linus Torvalds who initiated the development for the Linux kernel and has been stirring up the tech industry ever since.

Fallout New Vegas, Autumn release likely
We’re getting word out of Bethesda that Fallout New Vegas, a spin off title announced last year, of Fallout 3, is going to making it’s way to shelves around autumn time this year for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
The trailer they released to accompany this tidbit of news is very similar to the original Fallout 3 trailer, but gives us even less information, other than we can assume it’s based in the Las Vegas area. I’m real good at this blogging job you know… There are a few perculiaties for a Fallout game that I not-so-observantly spotted however. First one being that the city actually, although it’s from a distance, resembles one. There appears to be in-tact buildings and lights on, which whatever the state on the ground, is far more city like than Washington DC was after the nuclear apocolypse.
I also, hate to admit it, but get a Wall-E vibe from the little robot performing a relatively slow job of burying a body, although I don’t remember the hand of the corpse in that particular film, but maybe in the DVD extras. One thing I can already say is, excellent choice of soundtrack again, as an ever so ironic Blue Moon plays through the trailer.
