    Though the new gear is lackluster, the path opened to the level 35 cap and new perks is fair compensation.

    Obsidian delivers a first DLC that matches their Fallout: New Vegas : tense, captivating, despite its linearity. With a tiny bit more difficulty! Once more, we'd almost forget about the aging 3D engine of Bethesda and the poor AI. I experienced it like a little pen & paper RPG scenario of a single night. My thanks to the Obisidian Game Master.

    Dead Money isn't perfect, but neither was New Vegas. There are some interesting survival horror elements of Dead Money that will make you tense, and enough fun to make you come back for more. This DLC is certainly a solid edition to the Fallout world.

    So ultimately I think I was happier with the idea of what the designers of Dead Money were trying to accomplish than what they actually created. They put a far above average plot and built a framework of gameplay that somehow managed to break away from the Fallout formula. In the end, however, it's just too much. Too much sneaking around, too many traps, too many reloads. And there are seven more of these things yet to come? God help us all.

    Trial-and-error frustrations diminish the impact of this add-on's great characters and dialogue.

    If you already own New Vegas chances are that you've accepted the fact that the game doesn't run well. Dead Money is no different, so don't expect it to be. So for the patient souls out there, this fresh spin on Fallout is a decent buy.

    A missed opportunity, with Dead Money focusing on mostly the worst aspects of New Vegas. [Issue#203, p.98]

    This DLC will make you suffer. It will make you squirm in pain. It'll make you develop cusses the human ear has yet to hear, not unlike **** godamnitychrist, and **** It will make you fear radio static. It will make you despise intercoms. And yet.. somehow after going through all this torture, the end story makes me feel just... wow. I think the plot REALLY makes up for this... Basically, it makes the pain you felt into a lesson about greed. You'll enjoy this if you like some darkness to your world, and some difficulty to your Fallout. Two words. Bear. Traps.… Full Review »

    This is easily one of the best DLC's of the Fallout series. The Characters are interesting and intriguing and it's easy to waste plenty of time just sitting there going through the many great dialogue options. This dlc feels like a real survival horror game as you desperately run through buildings hoping your head won't explode as well as dodging toxic gas and just hoping you will find a stimpak or two to get you through the next bunch of enemies around the corner. The storyline is very enjoyable and will give you a solid few hours to add to your fallout experience.… Full Review »

    The story is fairly interesting, the characters are great and the way you have to play it is interesting and intense. The new weapons and gear aren't that interesting, but this is definetly worth checking out.… Full Review »
