    Not yet, but I plan to. I think Fallout 3 was one of the best games in a long time.

    Fallout 3 is easily in my top 5 of all time. If you approach this from the mindset that you're buying an expansion for Fallout 3 then you'll be happy. If you're expecting something new and groundbreaking you'll be dissapointed.

    I've put about 10 hours in so far and I really like it, but anyone who tells you it's not more Fallout 3 is either dillusional or lying to you.

    That being said, its a HUGE expansion with new weapons and baddies and tons of space to explore. It's easily worth the $50 they want for it. It's the same graphics engine and all that, and has the same technical issues as Fallout 3. I have both this and Fallout 3 on PC and don't have any problems with either one, but a fried who has issues with Fallout 3 has the same issues with this one.

    Have you run into any of the bugs and glitches yet. I haven't started it yet because of all the bad reviews. I heard there is a patch for the Xbox and the PC but not the PS3.

    It's got the same bugs as Fallout 3. I had problems with Fallout 3 early on but have since resolved those and have been bug free in Fallout 3 for well over a year now. I've had no issue with New Vegas. My understanding and experience thus far is that if you're bug free in Fallout 3 you should have the same with Vegas.

    I'd heard it was basically just MORE Fallout 3 and not a complete re-work.

    Fallout: New Vegas is a role-playing video game in the Fallout series by Obsidian Entertainment (many employees of which worked for Black Isle Studios on Fallout and Fallout 2). It was released in North America on October 19, 2010, Australia on October 21, 2010, and Europe on October 22, 2010.[5]

    Fallout: New Vegas is not a direct sequel to Fallout 3.[9][10] The game offers a similar role-playing experience to Fallout 3 and events are set three years later. While no characters from the previous game appeared, the game marks the return of Marcus, a super-mutant from Fallout 2, again voiced by Michael Dorn.[10]
