Fallout: New Vegas

[Tricky Dickys Right Foot Shot]

Just started playing it intro music is "Bluemoon" sent shivers down my spine haha

Played it for half an hour until the first crash. Very good, maybe i'll wait for a patch.

I've never played Fallout 3, is there a story that follows on or can you just pick it up and play? I really like the look of New Vegas

You should just be able to pick it up, although you'll maybe miss a bit of the background history, if you cared that much you could always just read about the first one, i'm sure there are summaries around.

Got the 360 version - buggy as hell! Disappearing enemies, ground that glitches and turns into a bottomless pit, certain characters regenerating after you've killed them endlessly, Brahmin impaled on the coral fence, people randomly dropping dead when you fast travel to a location.... Hope there's another patch soon.

Good game, very playable. But not as good as FO3 imo in terms of story and ability to immerse you in the game environment. It's been described as just DLC for FO3 and I;d agree - asking £35-40 for it as a separate game is robbery, should be £20-25 on Xbox Live as DLC. Still, I do love the slo-mo explosions :)

Fuckin ell 360 version sounds unplayable, only problem I've had with the PS3 version is the occasional split second stall but then everything sorts itself out in about 1 second. Good game looking forward to trying hardcore mode once I've finished it.

Yeah, it's frustrating. About 6 hours in and full of 'em. Loading times are very good though, but just hoping that I don't need to get back to a certain shack for the main quest - the entire ground near there is missing, non rendered, and I can't physically get across the divide to this shack. Even reloading doesn't work. Could be a game-breaker. If it is then I'll just grab the PS3 version.

This list of bugs isn't exactly encouraging though:
