Bethesda announces Fallout Anthology, delivered in a mini-nuke

When it was announced in early 2014 that the early Fallout games were being pulled from GoG.com, people wondered why, especially since they would continue to be available on Steam. Perhaps it was Bethesda’s way of building hype for the unveiling of its Anthology in 2015, since that’s exactly what it’s done. Set to contain every Fallout game ever made — apart from the one still in development — it even comes all bundled inside a faux-mini-nuke.

Announced at this year’s Quakecon in Dallas, Texas, the Fallout Anthology will contain the original game and its sequel, Fallout Tactics, Fallout 3 (GOTY edition), and Fallout New Vegas — the Ultimate Edition. Those latter two games will come packing all of the DLC and updates released since they originally launched.

However, don’t expect big colorful boxes and manuals, as only disc sleeves with the DVDs for each game will be included in this set. That’s why, despite the large collection of titles and the big prop nuclear device, Bethesda can afford to sell it at just $50 for the lot.

That’s not a bad deal considering individually the games cost more than that when not on sale, and that faux nuke makes explosion sounds if you press a button. It even has a realisticly weathered paint job to show its age.

Perhaps the only sad part of this anthology is that it lacks Fallout 4, which is set for release on November 10 this year. However, knowing that this set wouldn’t be complete without it, Bethesda has made the compartment within the nuke just big enough that anyone who buys one will be able to slot in their copy of the new Fallout as well, completing the set.

With the resurgence in physical game sales fueled by the nostalgia factor as of late, does this purchase option tempt you?

This is the GPU I’m most excited for in 2025 — and it’s not by Nvidia
The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics card.

The next few months will completely redefine every ranking of the best graphics cards. With Nvidia's RTX 50-series and AMD's RDNA 4 most likely launching in January -- and even Intel possibly expanding its Battlemage lineup -- there's a lot to look forward to.

But as for me, I already know which GPU I'm most excited about. And no, it's not Nvidia's rumored almighty RTX 5090. The GPU I'm looking forward to is AMD's upcoming flagship, which will presumably be the RX 8800 XT (or perhaps the RX 9070 XT). Below, I'll tell you why I think this GPU is going to be so important not just for AMD but also for the entire graphics card market.

AMD’s RDNA 4 may surprise us in more ways than one
AMD RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT graphics cards.

Thanks to all the leaks, I thought I knew what to expect with AMD's upcoming RDNA 4. It turns out I may have been wrong on more than one account.

The latest leaks reveal that AMD's upcoming best graphics card may not be called the RX 8800 XT, as most leakers predicted, but will instead be referred to as the  RX 9070 XT. In addition, the first leaked benchmark of the GPU gives us a glimpse into the kind of performance we can expect, which could turn out to be a bit of a letdown.
