Luck has not been with "Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel" from the beginning, but as you'll observe on tonight's "X-Play," every dog -- and postapocalyptic action RPG -- has its day.

Numerous setbacks -- including lawsuits, the closing of development houses, and the official cancellation of the series that inspired the game -- have plagued the production of this title, one of the last surviving vestiges of Interplay's formerly mighty Black Isle Studios division.
