The Games of Summer 2009

Both IGN and Games Radar have profiled many of the promising video games slated for release this summer, including Overlord II, Champions Online, and Fallout 3's Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta addons. GamesRadar groups them all into one feature, while IGN breaks them down by platform (though only the PC and Xbox 360 sections contain games we care about).

On the Fallout 3 DLC:
What It Is: It's a swampy alien invasion! Bethesda has continued to expand the Fallout 3 universe with downloadable content, and the latest puts you in the swamps of Point Lookout and facing pissed aliens in Mothership Zeta.

Why It's Hot: Fallout 3's DLC has proven to be remarkably varied, and the prospect of staring down an alien abduction alone has us giddy with glee. A new swamp area means even less time in the Wastes.
