I'm sitting on the 29th floor of MTV's offices in Times Square, watching the city get absolutely pounded by rain, which one thing: I'll be playing a lot of video games this weekend! Here's what's on the docket.
Prototype
About half way done with this one, and I think I can finish off the rest this weekend. While it's not without some quirks, specifically on the controls front, the scale definitely feels bigger than Infamous, and I do enjoy causing havoc in my home town.
Fallout 3: Point Lookout
Still digging deep into Bethesda's newest DLC pack, trying to find all of the locations and unlock that elusive achievement. Strange how walking around a post-apocalyptic wasteland doesn't bum me out in the least. Maybe the giant tesla cannon on my back has something to do with it.
Worms
"Worms 2: Armageddon" is dropping next week, so it's probably a good time to brush up on my grenade-tossing skills.
That should fill the weekend nicely...how 'bout you guys?
Bethesda has long led the charge on DLC, starting with "Oblivion" and now "Fallout 3." With "Fallout 3," they've tweaked and prodded each release, trying something new and introducing interesting corners of the world to explore. It seems, too, that they're getting better at it, as the latest DLC, "Point Lookout," is the best yet.

Bethesda has had some snafus with their recent DLC releases, but this time it's not on them. According to Kotaku, GameStop has begun selling boxed versions of the next "Fallout 3" DLC, "Point Lookout." The box really just contains a card with a redeemable code for Xbox Live, but typing in the code theoretically allows you to download the add-on, a full four days ahead of schedule. Bethesda says no, readers say otherwise, drama ensues.
"Point Lookout," set in Point Lookout, Maryland, is, according to Jeff Gardiner of Bethesda, the largest DLC pack yet. The world map for the add-on is about one fifth the size of the Capitol Wasteland, and it features a variety of new weapons and enemies to face off on. Here's Jeff giving us the lowdown on the pack.
