Here I am minding my own business, getting ready to write a post updating Fallout New Vegas with some gameplay footage revealed at E3 and what do I come across? Beta sign ups for the Fallout MMO!

I remember hearing about this awhile ago, but there were legal issues about who was allowed to use the Fallout name. Well I guess those have been settled. In a week where there is already so much gaming news I certainly did not expect something new outside of E3, especially with no accompanying announcement.

This game is not being made by Bethesda, the developer responsible for Fallout 3. It’s being made my Interplay, which is where the legal issues came in. Now I’m not the biggest MMO fan, and I can’t really see the Fallout experience translate all that well, however, every other property is being turned into an MMO. Star Trek, DC Universe the list goes on. Why not try one for Fallout? Want to try for the Beta? Click the link below, and good luck.
