Fallout: New Vegas News - Summer DLC Packs

In addition to Dead Money (which I still haven't gotten a spin at) - three new DLC packs are coming out for Fallout: New Vegas which add new environments and expand upon story elements left unfinished.  In true Bethesda style, the level cap will increase and there are new perks, new trophies, and new weapons to bring a more diverse experience to the Mojave Wasteland.

  • Honest Hearts - Releases in May 2011 - DLC that gives you more background on the Burned Man, Ceaser's right-hand man who was believed dead.
  • Old World Blues - Releases in June 2011 - after the Courier is captured and exposed to laboratory testing, you learn more about how some of the monstrous denizens of the Mojave came to be.
  • The Lonesome Road - Releases in July 2011 - finally!  We get to learn more about the courier who turned down the Platinum Chip job and caused the entirety of the events in Fallout: New Vegas.
Each pack rounds up to a $10 price tag, making a $50 gift card to the Playstation Store an obvious choice for my birthday (July 8).

PSN Returns

The Playstation Network (PSN) is back online with (very nearly) full functionality.  In related news, if you are friends of mine on Facebook, I inadvertently spammed your newsfeed with a bunch of trophy notification.  I've been busy, alright?

In due time, I will finally play Portal 2 co-op so that I can actually review the whole game proper, complete with spoilers.  In the meantime, the spoiler-free review is here.
