The Prima official strategy guide for Fallout 3 rolled into the office today, and I wanted to show you how thick it is as a gauge of how much content may perhaps be in the game.

25 American cents.
See, for reals.
























I think I've seen minor municipalities with smaller phone books.

The game, as you may remember, is out next Tuesday. We'll be back with review action then.

Oblivion was a epic long game and this shows Fallout 3 will be no different and it will be one of it's greatest strengths just like Oblivion.

I can't wait for this game. I really hope that's all content and that the game will be long as hell.

Damn, that's almost as big as our Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Mega Guide on Giant Bomb now!

But seriously, that guide is huge!

My strategy for the whole game... if it shoots at you, shoot back. Where's my money.

That certainly is one thick-ass book. Good luck covering that game in a short period of time!

The guy who wrote the guide is signing them at one of the local Gamestops. He's actually the husband of the district manager. Small world I guess...
