No, seriously, I've only played New Vegas and quit before I even left the first town. IS there a better fit?

Took us a while, but we finally got around to a good ol' fashioned Gumshoe RPG from Pelgrane Press. This is Mutant City Blues, the RPG about acting out a police procedural in a world where people have developed super powers.
