The fourth installment in Bethesda’s line of downloadable content for Fallout 3, Point Lookout, takes the lone wanderer to a murky seaside town on the Maryland coast.

Pros:

• New Environment-In place of the Capital Wasteland, Point Lookout takes players to a small coastal town and vast swampy forest. Plenty of exploration opportunities with 37 new locations waiting to be discovered and a creepy atmosphere with the lurking fog and roving inbred cannibals.
• New Enemies-Replacing the highly irradiated mutants roaming the wastes,  Point Lookout’s marshland is inhabited by NPC’s known as Swampfolk. Made to resemble cannibalistic hicks like that of The Hills Have Eyes, these guys are powerful and dangerous. Even for an experienced character, they can take a lot of damage while dealing out more than their fair share.
• Added Quests-With five main quests, five side quests and three unmarked quests, it is very difficult to find yourself not doing something. Whether you’re in search of the whereabouts of a missing Chinese agent, infiltrating a local tribe, or making your own moonshine, you will have plenty to do.
• New Aresenal-Point Lookout adds 11 unique weapons to the world of Fallout 3. My personal favorite being the powerful double-barreled shotgun. For the melee players out there, there are two new axe’s and two knives to play out your psychotic fantasies.
• Length-With all the different locations to explore and 13 quests to partake in, Point Lookout adds about 4-5 hours, if not more, of game time. Definitely nice for $10.

Cons:

• Bugs-At times, the framerate would stutter with multiple enemies on screen and a couple of times my game froze and locked up my 360 completely. Thankfully, no corrupt game saves but its still annoying.

For 8oo Microsoft Points you really can’t go wrong with this add-on. It has variety, plenty to do and new items waiting to be collected. Aside from the framerate issues, which seems like the norm unfortunately with Bethesda’s downloads, there is very little to dislike.

You can download Point Lookout off the 360 dashboard or off xbox.com. For the PS3 users, you’ll have to wait a bit longer.
