GamesAreEvil writes, "At heart, much of Fallout 3 boils down to matters of economy. That's what's driving The Pitt, where rulers have resorted to slavery in order to power the city's vital industrial machinery. The big cheeses are unable, and unwilling, to fund the necessary research to determine why Pittsburg's residents are falling victim to a toxic, mutative and rather unpleasant disease. This condition results in transforming citizens into ghastly Trogs.
Which is why, after forking over 800 Microsoft Points, one escaped slave recruits you, the dashing, intrepid adventurer of D.C's Capital Wasteland, to infiltrate The Pitt: so that he and his enslaved brethren can wreck a bit of havoc on Ashur, the despotic warlord running the show. The game justifies it in two ways, first as the chance to do the right thing for good character or just end up with a fat reward and some tasty loot if you're playing someone more morally dubious. But, really, you're just playing it to soak up a bit more Fallout. Which is no bad thing...."
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
Now that it's FINALLY working right?
It pisses me off that companies release stuff that isn't finished..
but now that things are working correctly I might get it..
I *still* haven't finished the main game.
I'm starting to wonder if I'm actually any good at games.
This section was fun! "Ever wonder why you see so many slavers but not that many slaves?" I did often wonder and now I know they go to The Pitt.
Auto Ax is insane ^^ the laser shotgun is fun to use as well
Hmmm, I'm still on the fence on this. 3-4 hours it says but I've read ppl doing it in 2 so as much as i like Fallout 3 I hate to encourage this type of expensive SHORT DLC
