<p>Today we&rsquo;re excited to shed light on New Vegas&rsquo; upcoming game add-ons: Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, and Lonesome Road.</p>
<p>As a bonus, we&rsquo;ve got the first <em>officially </em>released screenshot for Honest Hearts. This DLC will be out on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC in two weeks (May 17th), and users should now be able to grab the proper game update to play the content.</p>
<p>Read the press release below and stay tuned for more information on all three add-ons.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>BETHESDA SOFTWORKS REVEALS DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT PLANS FOR<em> FALLOUT&reg;: NEW VEGAS&trade;</em> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Three Additional Add-on Packs Releasing in Coming Months
for Xbox 360, PlayStation&reg;3 system and Windows PCs</em></strong><strong><em></em></strong></p>
<p>May 3, 2011 (Rockville, MD) &ndash; Bethesda Softworks&reg;, a ZeniMax&reg; Media company, today announced three downloadable content packs will be released in the coming months for <strong><em>Fallout&reg;: New Vegas&trade;</em></strong>. The three packs will be released simultaneously for the Xbox 360&reg; video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation&reg;3 computer entertainment system, and Windows-based PCs.</p>
<p><strong><em>Honest Hearts&trade;</em></strong>, <strong><em>Old World Blues&trade;</em></strong> and <strong><em>Lonesome Road&trade;</em></strong> will further expand upon <strong><em>Fallout: New Vegas</em></strong>. <strong><em>Fallout: New Vegas</em></strong> takes all the action, humor and post-apocalyptic grime and grit of this legendary series, and raises the stakes.</p>
<p>Available on May 17,<strong><em> Honest Hearts</em></strong> takes you on an expedition to the unspoiled wilderness of Utah&rsquo;s Zion National Park. Things go horribly wrong when your caravan is ambushed by a tribal raiding band. As you try to find a way back to the Mojave, you become embroiled in a war between tribes and a conflict between a New Canaanite missionary and the mysterious Burned Man. The decisions you make will determine the fate of Zion.</p>
<p>In<strong><em> Old World Blues</em></strong>, releasing in June,<strong><em> </em></strong>you will discover how some of the Mojave&rsquo;s mutated monsters came to be when you unwittingly become a lab rat in a science experiment gone awry. You&rsquo;ll need to scour the Pre-War research centers of the Big Empty in search of technology to turn the tables on your kidnappers or join forces with them against an even greater threat.</p>
<p><strong><em>Lonesome Road</em></strong>, available in July, brings the courier&rsquo;s story full circle when you are contacted by the original Courier Six, a man by the name of Ulysses who refused to deliver the Platinum Chip at the start of New Vegas. In his transmission, Ulysses promises the answer as to why, but only if you take one last job &ndash;a job that leads you into the depths of the hurricane-swept canyons of the Divide, a landscape torn apart by earthquakes and violent storms. The road to the Divide is a long and treacherous one, and of the few to ever walk the road, none have ever returned.</p>
<p>Reviews of <strong><em>Fallout: New Vegas</em></strong> have called the game as &ldquo;an utterly essential purchase&rdquo; (MSN UK) and as &ldquo;addictively, rambunctiously fun&rdquo; (Entertainment Weekly). The Associated Press awarded it a 4 out of 4 stars and said &ldquo;Bottom Line: It&rsquo;s a Blast&rdquo;, while GameSpy gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars and called <strong><em>Fallout: New Vegas</em></strong> &ldquo;one of the best games of the year.&rdquo;</p>
<p>All downloadable content for <strong><em>Fallout: New Vegas</em></strong> will be available for download on Xbox LIVE&reg; for 800 Microsoft Points, the PlayStation&reg;Network for $9.99, and both Steam and Direct2Drive for $9.99.</p>
<p>Published by Bethesda Softworks and developed at Obsidian Entertainment,<strong><em> Dead Money, Honest Hearts</em></strong>,<strong><em> Old World Blues</em></strong>, <strong><em>Lonesome Road, </em></strong>and<strong><em> </em></strong> <strong><em>Fallout: New Vegas</em></strong> have been rated M for Mature by the ESRB. For more information on <strong><em>Fallout: New Vegas</em></strong>, including the game&rsquo;s downloadable content, please visit <a href="http://fallout.bethsoft.com/">http://fa ... om</a>.</p>

I'm going to choose to be cautiously enthused about what we see here, I see echoes of some of the best ideas in the first fallout games. And Dead Money actually had a decent story, so I think these could turn out to be good. I reserve the right to be completely, ass rapingly, wrong.

The first two look like they have excuses to strip you of gear built right into them. Still hopeful that's not the case, though.

Feels less like an addon when you're not stripped of your gear, and the reason you're given for not having your gear is always nonsensical.

Old World Blues sounds like it will be the Mothership Zeta of the bunch.

I'll consider it once it's packaged in a game of the year (?) with a massive price cut.

SLCPD = Salt Lake City PD?

What a pity that they would do this region, but likely due to backlash can't do any Mormon type content, who I think would be ripe fodder for a Fallout game, for fear of religious controversy.
