Bethesda Software, makers of the post-apocalyptic video game "Fallout 3" have officially filed a patent to the rights for a film version, securing the trademark for a series of "motion picture films about a post-nuclear apocalyptic world."

The third major game in the "Fallout" series released October 2008 takes place in the year 2277, 36 years after the setting of "Fallout 2" and 200 years after the nuclear war that devastated the game's world in an alternate post-World War II timeline.

The game places the player in the role of an inhabitant of 'Vault 101' a survival shelter designed to protect a small number of humans from nuclear fallout.

When the player's father disappears under mysterious circumstances, the player is forced to escape from the Vault and journey into the ruins of Washington D.C. to track him down, assisted by a number of human survivors, battling myriad enemies that inhabit the wasteland.

The game is noted as an attribute/combat system typical of an action role-playing game but also incorporating elements of first-person shooter and survival horror games.

"Fallout 3" sold over 610,000 units during its initial release, outselling Bethesda Softworks' previous game, "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion", which sold nearly 500,000units in its first month...
