Fallout New Vegas

From the makers of Knights of the Old Republic II, Neverwinter Nights, and Dungeon Siege, comes a new title in the Fallout series. If you've played Fallout 3 it uses the same engine for this game for graphics, with only a little rework for lighting effects, so you won't need to overhaul your system in order to play this game.

Set in the Wild West after a nuclear apocalypse occurred, you start the game off as a courier for a delivery company who is captured, robbed, and finally shot. You're saved by an old man and nursed back to health. Instead of taking growing up and taking a test, you'll be asked questions by the old man, and then you'll use the machine below to change your attributes and pick your skills. After that you're off to do whatever you want. You can be as good or as bad as you want and be rewarded for each way because of the built in reputation systems. If you start to attack towns then the townsfolk in the general area will start to become hostile, but if you save them they'll like you even better and will help you.

Fallout New Vegas also includes some new upgrades over Fallout 3. These include Hardcore Mode, Iron sights on guns, Customization of your weapons, more weapons, and finally more perks. Hardcore Mode makes the game much harder and difficult in comparison to non-Hardcore Mode. Ammo has weight, you have to actually drink water or you'll dehydrate, Medpacs don't restore crippled limbs, you need sleep, and finally Medpacs also don't heal instantaneously.

Fallout New Vegas' addition of special ammo and modifications that you can use on your weapons adds some more diversity to your experience. Also, you'll explore some memorable locations from the Mojave Desert in the game, including the Las Vegas Strip, Area 51, Dinkie the Dinosaur Motel (Pictured Above), The Helios One power-plant, and the Hoover Dam. Check out New Vegas this holiday season on PC, Xbox 360, or Playstation 3.
