Inmy reviewfrom last year, I ended up scoring Sony’s premier racing franchise a 6/10 and citing a lack of content as my chief complaint....

Bethesda Softworks has announced that award-winning actor, Liam Neeson, will be providing voice work for the upcomingFallout 3. Neeson will play the role of the player’s father, a role that was written with the actor in mind. I’m sure that was enough to get Neeson on board, simply writing a part for him.
