This site is a spin off of Wikipedia, but it does an AWESOME job at providing a central site when looking at the series.

Fallout Series Wikipedia

This is a very helpful page in terms of looking at the whole series. I actually have yet to find a page that looks at the series as a whole. If you scroll down the page a little, you can also find a timeline displaying when each game of the series game out, which I find incredibly helpful.

Fallout Homepage

Right now, this site if mostly devoted to the New Vegas game, but the concept art is very cool. Plus they have trailers and clips of a few of the different games (mostly Fallout 3) and some links for forums. All together it's not all to helpful, but it does give you a little feel for the game(s).
