Certain things I experienced during my hands-on time with Fallout: New Vegas were impressive -- such as the fully-functioning casinos on the strip that you can explore (and gamble in) and some of the improvements to combat like the bullet cam and the new weapon modification options -- but I walked away from from my brief hands-on demo a little worried that it might play a bit too much like Fallout 3 for some tastes. Of course, that's not necessarily a negative thing. For instance, I felt that BioShock 2, while not dramatically different from its predecessor offered up enough new gameplay elements and improvements to make it worth it for fans to come on board for a second time. And with a series like Fallout, it's really difficult to gauge what to expect from the full game after getting a 20 minute crash course through a handful of different sections of the game.
