"Why don't I like Fallout 3? I just am not getting into it. I'm about 4 hours in and I'm supposed to be looking for a radio station. I am taking my time, doing some exploring and really trying to enjoy it. While I'm playing though, all I can think about is wanting to play something else."

Heads Up — 9/4
WORDS BY: Meghan Watt
Welcome back to our weekly online column, Heads Up. If you’ve ever searched around the internet looking for a current report on everything the Xbox 360 has to offer, you’ve no doubt hit numerous dead-ends. Heads Up attempts to alleviate your frustrations by offering a quick and complete guide to what you may have missed over the past week, online and in stores.
There’s no better way to unwind after a long, tiring day than offing a few bad guys with an array of nukes, vehicles, and other armed goodies (in game, of course). And if guns aren’t your style, cuddle up with another J-RPG or a colorful garden filled with a fresh batch of piñatas! With three new games and a Marketplace chock-full of movies, enticing game demos, and videos, your weekend should be looking mighty fine.
JEWEL OF THE WEEK:

With the release of Fallout 3 approaching, we’re fidgeting anxiously at the edge of our seats, itching to take control of that post-apocalyptic world. Until then, Bethesda has placed five tantalizing gameplay videos on the Marketplace. Watch the escape from Vault 101, a few not-so-friendly chats with the residents of Megaton, brutal combat, and more. And if you haven’t already, check out our take on the intro to Fallout 3 here.

Kevin Costner is okay. Waterworld on the other hand is not okay.

Fallout looks amazing. I suggest everyone playing the Pure demo they got now. It's SSX on quads.
