GameSpy has played a lot of Fallout 3. Between the main game and the first piece of DLC, they've logged close to 100 hours, and they still find themselves hopping into the Wasteland from time to time for a bit of the ol' ultraviolence. Needless to say, they were pretty excited to check out The Pitt (the second piece of DLC that will be released in March) earlier today at the D.I.C.E. Summit. While they really enjoyed Operation: Anchorage, GameSpy agreed with Gerald's assertions that it really didn't feel like the Fallout 3 that they fell in love with late last year. This was mainly due to the fact that it felt a lot more like a straight-up shooter than an RPG, and while that's not really a bad thing, it's also not what Fallout 3 is all about. Thankfully, The Pitt feels exactly like the main game, as you'll be able to level up your character, hack terminals, pick through garbage cans for sustenance, and generally do whatever it is you like to do.
Spiffy:
* Same great Fallout 3 gameplay GameSpy knows and loves
* New weapons and enemies
* Nice variety of environments
Iffy:
* Is 4-5 hours of gameplay worth $10 to you?
NoobFeed Editor Joshua Burt writes - It is now a mainstay of gaming that post a title's release, and DLC will accompany the game. Some of the most popular games of the last fifteen years have followed this practice. But there are some DLCs that are better than others. That stands on the shoulders of their base game, and in some cases… Surpass it. These are the 10 expansions that were better than the main game.
Damn, I feel stupid when years ago I played all the dlc for fallout 3 except the pitt. My younger ass looked at it and thought it was boring without trying I believe... Well good reason to fire up the old dusty ps3!
Solid list, I'd add inFamous: Festival of Blood, although it was a standalone download, it still felt like an inFamous 2 expansion.
Blood and Wine might be the best ever though.
I have beaten Bloodborne but though i have the DLC I never played through it. For now I want to wait and see if it gets a Bluepoint remake.

Fallout is a rare game that deals with the real life process of moving in a realistic way. What can be learned about how you should move out on your own from how you play Fallout?
I never thought of it like that.. Fallout 3 is still my best game ever,so wanting Fallout 4.
Personally I learned alot from Fallout, especially New Vegas' DLC
There are alot of hidden teachings and different perspectives in those games
Oh yea its fine considering on Fallout you don't have to pay for the following;
mortgage,
water bills,
gas bills,
electric bills,
I wouldn't really say it taught me to move out, but I would say it has taught me other stuff like how to barter etc
