Well Guitar Hero is a game that can be really fun even on single player.

While Rock Band is strictly a multiplayer game, if you have no friends (like yours truly) then you're f*cked and wasted $200 on a game you'll never play again.

Just played through Fallout 3 again after getting some of the addons. The addons were okay, not particularly better than the quests and so on from the original game, but I love Fallout 3 so of course it was fun.

Now I've got The Sims 3 which is a strange game. There's little to strive for I think, yet it is kind of fun.

which addons did you get?

Point Lookout looks pretty cool to me.

I got Broken Steel of course, Point Lookout and The Pitt. I did not get mothership zeta and the anchorage addon, reason being they got lower review scores and frankly, I was surprised at how expensive these addons were.

Both The Pitt and Point Lookout were good. As I wrote, not mindblowing, but good. Broken Steel was best perhaps for the stuff it introduced to the world such as the ability to keep playing after you "finish" the old storyline, a level 30 level cap, added feats, new items and new monsters etc. The new quests were good, but they were over real fast.

I'm trawling through it now (very slowly, 17 or so hours so far) and i think it's an absolute masterpiece. I love games like this that go that little bit further what with the huge world and the level of detail. Kinda hoping it doesn't end!

Yes, I love it too. Back when Fallout 1 was released, I got my hands on it and basically stayed glued to the computer until I had finished it. It was the same story with the 2nd game .. Of course I'm a big fan of Fallout and also happen to be a fan of the Morrowind games (I actually liked Oblivion), so Bethesda + Fallout didn't worry me much.

Of course when I played F3, I was so impressed :D I think I got chills when I first got out of the vault and saw the wasteland spread out before me. To me, it's an absolutely awesome game, with or without addons!

By the way, if anyone's thinking of getting just 1 addon, get broken steel as it continues the game past the "ending" and adds new content to the capitol wasteland. The other expansions add extra areas that are not part of the capitol wasteland and so they don't integrate as well as broken steel.

I'm just planning on getting all of them, im that obsessed with fallout.

Regarding F3 addons and new areas, at worst some of the items in those new areas do not have equivalents found in the capitol wasteland and can be hard to repair on your own, making you rely on NPCs or backtracking to those areas to get more loot (item condition drops over time and use, but if you have say two assault rifles, you can use one to repair the other) .. I find little things like that slightly irritating!

Right now, I'm playing Sims 3 now and then. My virtual self and girlfriend are about to have our first virtual child. It's alright, but since there's no specific goal or story, it feels more like a waste of time than most other games. It's not as motivating, but definetly well done and quite fun for a bit at a time.
