The Top Ten DLC You Should Pick Up



Top 10 Downloadable Content I recommend for a fun and quality driven gaming experience:
Shivering Isles for Oblivion - Enjoy a whole different experience, this feels fresh and something new with lots of new content, quests and crazy people. Decide to join one of two factions and experience all new and different content based on that decision.

Episodes from Liberty City for GTAIV - Again this feels fresh and is something new, I really enjoyed both expansions even more so than the original game, which I still loved. Design aspects like friends not always calling you on your phone, a mobile gun store and even mid level checkpoints are added in with Lost and the Damned and the Ballad of Gay Tony. Crazy GTA has returned and now you have the option to replay missions using your phone, so simple you wondered why it wasn't there to begin with.

Broken Steel for Fallout 3 - Adds a whole thing like oh I don't know the continuation of free roam instead of having the game end. Pivotal to increase your level and actually has a good story too. Aside from taking away a dead end ending you also get to have some great combat against new enemies.

Lair of the Shadow Broker for Mass Effect 2 - Here we get the continuation of the plot and love interest Liara, an Asari scientist that studied the Protheans in the first Mass Effect game, a character we had the fortunate pleasure to team up with (she's one hell of a biotic), along with one of the coolest new characters and a great variety of superb gameplay (detective/hover car chase scenes as examples).

Vietnam for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - We're going back to Vietnam and this time with the brand spankin' new game engine that Bad Company 2 infamously rocks, que Fortunate Sun & flamethrowers. Seriously a Vietnam game is hard to pull off yet Dice nails it along with BF:BC2.

General Knoxx for Borderlands - Like Broken Steel this relates to the original game's ending but in this case this feels like the actual boss, plus new enemies, quests and loot! Lots and lots of loot! (Zombie Island is a runner up def and you might like Clap Trap's Robot Revolution with friends.) The whole game is better with friends mind you.

Big Surf Island for Burnout Paradise - New vehicles, new playgrounds and many many more races/challenges results in good times. It would be great that every open world sandbox game had a big ocean which downloadable islands could sprout out from under said water. Hey look at that empty space on the map, possible DLC with adjoining bridge!?

Undead Nightmare for RDR - An alternate version of the already great game Red Dead Redemption, Westerns are hard to pull off yet Rockstar nails this one, with fast moving crazy featured zombies?! What is the world coming to! Crazy times, intense survival missions and oh yeah like the original RDR a blast to experience online with friends too.

The Passing for Left 4 Dead 2 - Yup, another great add on for Left 4 Dead 2 by Valve with more intense zombie gameplay with an added bonus thrown in for Left 4 Dead fans. New content in L4D 2 feels like a very nice survival care package from Valve haha.

Minerva's Den for Bioshock 2 - Most of Bioshock 2's DLC were for multiplayer but this adds on a wonderful single player experience which goes back to the roots of why Bioshock was/is so awesome. Really you are a robot if this DLC doesn't touch you, the Bioshock universe shines once more.
