New Vegas carries the Fallout title pretty well.

I wasn’t so sure about what to expect, it didn’t seem like a new full-fledged game at all but somehow felt like it was a completely new turn on how Fallout was handled in its third installment. Knowin… Read more

Even with its technical issues this game is easily recommended for any rpg fan.

We all have our weak spots for certain games. Even though we hate to admit it, we discriminate in the amount of crap we tolerate from games and its developers. To me, Fallout and Fallout New Vegas are… Read more

Really good game, with technical issues

Fallout: New Vegas is one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had, but that probably applies to me because I love the setting of the game, the post-apocalypse with that special touch of humor a… Read more

Forget Fallout 3; this is the definitive Fallout experience

Before I start the review, I'd like to point out that I played the game with every piece of DLC installed as found in the Ultimate Edition. As such, my experiences, and thus my opinion of the game, ma… Read more

Waking Up In Fallout: New Vegas

Great game marred by bugs and glitches.

Fallout shows it's wild side in New Vegas

The magic is gone

I came into Fallout: New Vegas with a love for Fallout 3; with its 40's music, its exploration, and its dialog trees. I even love the bad parts like its unfair ending and its janky physics engine. Fal… Read more

Better written, and better characterised than Fallout 3.

The post-apocalypse is such a contradiction in terms. The very idea of there being a post-apocalypse should be nonsense, since the apocalypse it meant to be “the end of things”. However, over the past… Read more

A messed up experience still worth having

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Fallout New Vegas is the absolute most buggy game I have ever played on PS3. And it always bugs out when you haven't saved in a while. The story is more boring than enchanting, the graphics are poor a… Read more

Howdy from New Vegas!

If there’s one thing to be said about Fallout: New Vegas , it’s that the game has a panache all its own. That’s incredibly impressive, given New Vegas’ pedigree. New Vegas’ bloodline needs little intr… Read more

A Great Game, but When Compared to Fallout 3, Comes Up Short.

Fallout New Vegas (NV) tries to be Fallout 3, but without fixing the previous issues with the engine and with less personality, unfortunately comes up short. Game play: The game is set up much like an… Read more

It is sometimes not easy to gauge the legacy of a video game series by how its instalments tap into its emerging and often revised canon. Some of the settings materialize in a seminal event where the… Read more

New Vegas Mangages To Lose the Shine and Polish.

New Vegas Is An Outstanding Experience. Despite It's Flaws.

I'm here to do some business with the big iron on my hip

I initially decided to play Fallout: New Vegas in a similar way to how I played Fallout 3 two years ago – as a good guy bringing justice to the wasteland. What I found was a game where the line betwee… Read more

Good, but 3 was Better

Off the heels of one of my favorite games this console generation, Obsidian is holding court with Fallout New Vegas. Obsidian is an interesting company. They are basically remnants of Black Isle and h… Read more

It Doesn't Want Me to Like It, but I Still Do

What happens in Vegas...

Foreword Let us get one thing straight here: I never played Fallout 1 or 2, although I've been told that this game is connected to them. While not getting alot of the references I probably missed due… Read more

Innovative and Fun Despite Huge Problems

A flawed but worthwhile experience.

Fallout New Vegas is an expansion pack in disguise. It reuses countless assets from Fallout 3, and offers only a handful of geniunely new things. Somehow, this manages to be okay with me. Maybe it's b… Read more

Great New Fallout

I won't lie... when Fallout 3 dropped in late 2008 I wasted hours upon hours exploring the vast Capital Wasteland and it's DC counterparts, and earning the ever-so-rewarding XP points that chimed in a… Read more
