GamesRadar - Elder Scrolls: Oblivion marked the start of a new era of gaming in more ways than one. It brought many into then-new-gen gaming, sold people on the Xbox 360, and notoriously set the bar for insulting DLC. Oblivion’s Horse Armor is a famously poor example of downloadable content, charging players $2.50 / £1.70 for some extra equine protection that did absolutely nothing besides make your four-legged ride glimmer in the sunlight. It quickly becoming a cautionary tale in how not to handle DLC- but that 2006 offense to gamer's wallets seems quaint when compared to some of the downloadable mistakes that followed.
This is a nice collection of classic. EA has opened its vaults and released a series of classic PC games to Steam for the first time ever.
f you haven't already, consider getting 8-Bit Armies or the new 9-Bit Armies. They're made by some of the same folks from the older C&C, with very similar mechanics; it's just the aesthetics that are completely different.
C&C Red Alert 3 and The Saboteur were two different yet completely unforgettable games to me from a better era of EA.
GF365: "If you’re a reader, this list of great games for avid readers is for you. Games are a form of art, and some have written literature in them."
Here are some great action role-playing video games to play while waiting for the highly anticipated Dragon’s Dogma 2.
I still think the horse armor takes the cake.
The Horse Armor paved the way for what developers could get away with in DLC.
It opened the flood gates and even though the DLC has gotten somewhat better a lot of it is still rip offs and cash grabs.
For me the Asura's Wrath DLC was well worth it, great story and game
Nothing beats the Purple Lightsaber from SWTOR as you had to pay 4.99 for that.
Nothing quite beats a unfinished game with true ending DLC. People may praise Bethesda for their messy games, but they made it possible for developers to get away with this.
That's why i find it funny, that one of the free DLC's for Witcher 3 is Horse Armour.
