Get the skinny, the dope, and 411 on the latest DLC news for one of the hottest games of the year - Fallout: New Vegas.
We’ve made no secret of our fondness for Fallout: New Vegas around these parts. It just missed out on a Hot Award in our last issue, but that was mostly because of some buggy graphics and some less-than-stellar voice work. Most of the greater Atomic team have been playing it since it came out and enjoying it rather muchly – and each in our own way. The storytelling is so open that we’re all getting something slightly different from the experience, which is quite an impressive feat.
Plus it’s set in post-apocalyptic Las Vegas, so it looks awesome.
Bethesda, the games publishers, aren’t content with resting on their laurels though, and so today they’ve announced the first downloadable content for the game. Win!
Dead Money has you teaming up with three other wastelanders after a deal goes bad, trying to keep yourselves out of strife (read: alive) for long enough to recover the treasure of the infamous Sierra Madre Casino. You come up against some new enemies and, as ever, Bethedsta leave it up to you as to how you’re going to get around the obstacles they’re putting in your way.
PC and PS3 readers probably don’t want to hear this next bit, but Dead Money will be released exclusively on Xbox LIVE. It’s set to drop on December 21st – which very neatly happens to be the day Atomic goes on holidays – so if you have also been bitten by the F:NV bug and you’re one of the chosen Xbox few, you’re going to have a very merry Christmas indeed.
