Just in time for the holidays, both the original version of Fallout 3 and the Game of the Year Edition are now available at new low prices!

Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition, including all five DLC packs, can now be had for just $29.99 (or £19.99/€29.99) on Steam.

Likewise, Fallout 3 now rings in at $19.99 (or £14.99/€19).

The perfect gifts for any family members that have yet to conquer the Capital Wasteland.

[static.zenimax.com]With Fallout: New Vegas at last reaching store shelves, and the vice-grip of Fallout addicts everywhere, it's time to see what the equally-ensnared press thought of the game.

Here is a pretty vast collection of New Vegas reviews we've seen so far. We'll of course add to the list as more start to pop up.

Eurogamer[www.eurogamer.net] (9/10): "New Vegas may jump across America for its setting, and forward several years in the timeline, but it's a seamless continuation of what Bethesda set in motion in 2008 with Fallout 3."

GamePro[www.gamepro.com] (4.5/5): "It closely matches Fallout 3 in terms of depth and content; if you loved the original, you'll probably love this one as well."

<span style="text-align: justify;">Official Xbox Magazine UK[www.oxm.co.uk] (9/10): </span><span class="text_article_body">"All you have to do is listen to the post-game chatter of those that have played it and you'll learn that, sure enough, Obsidian has created something that's consistent yet unpredictable enough that everyone's adventure feels like it's something unique and worth sharing."</span>

IGN UK (9/10): "Like 3 and Oblivion before it, New Vegas is a game to share stories about, one that lets you carve your own path through a beautifully constructed world."

<span style="text-align: justify;">The Guardian (5/5): "</span>Writing this review has been difficult simply because I've been itching to strap on my Pipboy, get back to the wasteland and do a bit more exploring – there's nothing quite like it. I think you'll feel the same."

<blockquote>"Finally, we asked Avellone if gamers who read the comic can expect its characters to appear and its events to be referenced. He said, "If you read the graphic novel, you'll see the results of many of the events, locations, and fates of the characters in the comic in primary and secondary locations in the game - as well as characters you'll encounter in these locations."</blockquote>
