If you loved Fallout 3 then you’ll definitely love New Vegas. The game is just as long as FO3 and has tons of quests to do. Or if you don’t want to do quests at all you can just run off and go exploring the Mojave wasteland. I’ve got about 20 hours in the game, it draws you in and is very addicting.
Game play is the same as FO3 so you won’t really be learning anything new. The setting is in the area surrounding old Las Vegas (New Vegas) and New Vegas itself). There are different perks and factions that you can either gain fame with or be vilified with depending on how you handle certain situations. There are consequences for your actions so be careful what you say and do to people! All in all, great game!
What's great about it: Length of overall game, weapons, dialog
What's not so great: Game is still buggy, needs more patches

Fallout 3 is easily one of the best games every created. Bethesda knows how to create fantastic games. if you love role playing games and shooters then you will love this game since it combines both genres. The post-apocalyptic world of Washington, D.C. is huge and there is a lot to see and explore. The beginning of the game is a little hard since you start off as a low level character but you then work your way up and get to acquire new "armor" and weapons which will help you defeat all the baddies in the wasteland. For $60 this game will provide you with hours and hours of playing time. Great game all around.
What's great about it: graphics, long game, worth the money
