What happened to such games as Dungeon Keeper 3 and SimsVille, games that we have seen advertised in the previous games (DK2 and SC3000), but seem to have just disappeared. I'm sure many other games have just disappeared also... So where have these games gone, and are there any more that seem to have gone wayward?

i was thinking along the same lines as i love dk2 and was highly anticipating dk3 after watching that clip but unfortuantley its been cancelled. I dont know what went wrong with that sim game i saw a clip for.
Simville got canned by EA because they thought that by changing the formula of the Sims too much, they would loose some of their huge fan base, so they stuck with a plain old Sims 2 sequel.
Most games get cancelled for fairly simple reasons, the most common being bankruptcy of the developer, an example, Interplay recently went bust and their forthcoming, and highly anticipated Fallout 3 sequel went with it.
The good news is that the rights to these game can be bought, so if a developer sees a game that was cancelled and thinks they can make something of it, they'll pick up the rights and develop it themselves. Hence why Fallout 3 is back in development when Bethesda Softworks picked up the rights for the game.

Woah, the makers of morrowind are going to create the next fallout?
That game is going to be amazing.

Perhaps EA thought best not to bring them out, and so, they permanently cancelled them!
Sorry, but this was likely to happen!

The thing about Morrowind is that it's not realistic in it's pretense to be all about development - it's more you start off as a bloody embryo with fully grown limbs, rather than a bo standard 20 year old or whatever.

Is that going to be a proper Fallout or is it going to be like Tactics?

As far as I'm aware, it's a full blown sequel to the original two fallout games, RPG style. I think they're taking over from Interplay who already started development on the game before they went bankrupt, I remember seeing some early shots of the game and it uses an impressive 3D engine.
Also, in PCGamer there's a rumour that Interplay might be looking to develop a MMORPG Fallout, though considering their financial state, I'd say that pretty unlikely.

Oh that's good news.
I haven't played Fallout 1 but Fallout 2 the first RPG I was ever interested enough in to play through.
I did get Tactics too but that wasn't so RPG like and more of a squad-based-strategy-RPG hybrid, and was OK, but I did get bored of it quite fast.
The only thing is though, every time I've started a new game off on Fallout 2, I've had a strange urge to choose a female character...
Which does make it interesting when you sleep with Mr Bishop's wife. And all the prostitutes... They never let me work in the porn studios though, the bastuds.
I think I might acquire Fallout1 now.

No, they've ruined the Fallout series.
Fallout 3: Brotherhood of Steel
It's some watered down tripe that's being released on PS2/Xbox.
Think Baldur's Gate, now think of the crap-fest that is Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance on the consoles.
That is what they've done to Fallout.
