Fallout: New Vegas is a prime example of a spin-off game done right. Having completed Fallout 3 in 2009, I wasn’t expecting a new title so soon. But having visited Las Venturas in 2004’s GTA: San Andreas at roughly the same time, I thought I’d seen everything Sin City had to offer. Developer Obsidian felt otherwise.
Developed within an 18-month time window, not too dissimilar to how Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask was made, Fallout: New Vegas takes place four years after Fallout 3. Set in the Mojave Wasteland, a brand new open world, players become involved in a plot with the abandoned Hoover Dam, now part of a power struggle between the NCR and Caesar’s Legion. What follows is a great narrative where certain choices will decide the fate of the story and New Vegas as a whole.
