    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 at best, sure the scenery looks good but the characters look like they were transported in from a 1994 Final Fantasy game, polygon anyone?  Side missions are pointless, there is a freaking level cap.  If you want to make an RPG, why in the hell would you ever have a level cap? I mean I was enjoying the game despite the crashes, until I reached level 30... 4 hours in to a 100 hour marathon of bullcrap.  And with each level up I could tell that it made absolutely no difference, sure you get some experience points to spread around so that you can unlock some terminals, or doors.  But you better pick one, because your level cap is 30!  Look at all these cool perks... yay, wait though, I only get to go to level 30 so I will bypass all of them so that I can get my stats up and be a badass which is the whole fing point of an RPG you bastards!  And then don't even get me started on the damn reloading benches, work benches, and campfires.  What a joke, I will not waste anymore time explaining why but suffice it to say... traders and stimpacks.  With those two things there is absolutely no reason for the other 3.  So the only reason I gave this steaming pile a one star rating is because of the card game Caravan.  That is the only reason to play this stinker.

      The fact is, after Fallout 3 I was a huge fan-boy. Hell, even before that I bought everything Bethesda made and played it for years afterwords. But that doesn't mean I can't at least attempt to be objective. I have played 30+ hours of this game already and seen several hours of the PC version played (both patched and unpatched). The glitches, freezes, frame rate issues etc. make this an exceedingly frustrating game to attempt to play. Those who don't make tender love to the autosave frequently a...

      Completely falls short of Fallout 3 0

      While I don't usually find myself being drawn in to open world games, Fallout 3 had just the right mix of role playing elements, exploration, and amusing dialogue to keep me interested.  Having played through several hours of Fallout New Vegas, I walked away without the game ever clicking.  Whether it was the numerous technical issues, the smaller world, or the odd replacements for Fallout 3's karma system, it really seems like just about every phase of the game took a step back in this game.  I...
