Ok so the title basically explains it all, besides the most important part=The Games. Recently I've been interested in buying
Fallout New Vegas, Fable 3,or Castlevania Lord of Shadows (I think that's the title)
So maybe to help, I'm a big oblivion fan and a fan of older castlevanias. Mostly the 16 bit platformers/and a few others. I didn't give myself a chance to play more than a couple hours of fallout 3 because I was really into oblivion at the time...I never returned to it for whatever reason. It looks like new vegas would appeal to me more than 3 because of the environment change. Also, I have never really played any of the fable games. I watched the first one being played years ago when it came out. So to sum it up, help me decide! please.....?

Re: HELP! which game should I choose from (xbox 360)
I can only speak For fallout and Fable series due to Fable 2 and Fallout 3.
they are 2 different monsters. Monsters that will devour your free time. Games that you will end a marathon game session to find out you didn't even really progress in the main story because you were spending all this time in other areas of the game world.
Fallout has an exploring feel to it where I'm constantly pushing towards the horizon to find new places. While Fable feels like the sims with mini games and combat.
If Vegas and Fable 3 are anything like their previous games expect a good amount of time out into them. You being an oblivion fan though I doubt that will bother you.
Between those 2 I would say Vegas, only because I love the fallout franchise. So much that I would even buy fallout brotherhood of steel for xbox...(ewww)
Fable is growing on me. I expect to own both Vegas and Fable 3 before next summer. Castlevania... I have no opinion of.

If you're not a fan of the Fallout 3, then don't get Vegas. It's going to be more of the same (the same awesomeness!!!). I played Fable 2 for a while, but not nearly as much as Fallout 3.
Castlevania: LoS is pretty much God of War.
All 3 games are probably going to be great, but personally, I'm picking up New Vegas next week.

I like Lords of Shadow, but realize it isn't your Daddy's Castlevania before buying. It is however, the best 3D Castlevania, which again isn't saying much =\

If you aren't having a good time, why are you playing?

Castlevania is awesome. I'm currently playing through on hard and enjoying it a lot. Personally, I'd say it has way more in common with Devil May Cry than God of War, the levels aren't completely linear like God of War and there's lots to explore/multiple paths through levels etc.
Fallout New Vegas is apparently really buggy right now, so you might want to hold off on that particular game for the time being. Wait until the kinks are ironed out, or just wait for the inevitable GOTY edition with all the DLC.
Fable 3 might be a good choice if you enjoyed Fable 2. I was a massive Fable fan, I really enjoyed the first one on xbox (played it through good and evil). The second one just bored the shit out of me, the combat system is retarded, the quests are mostly just boring kill this/fetch that quests and the story is pretty mundane. I quite liked buying and selling businesses/houses though. I just wish it was more fleshed out. However, since you've never played Fable I'd suggest you get Fable 2 for cheap and see if you like it, then get Fable 3.
