Other than the technical problems mentioned, there isn't much holding Point Lookout back. It provides an interesting locale, great story, and some fun new perks and equipment. It's also a bit lengthier than the first few DLCs, with a fairly larger map to explore, rewarding you each time you replay, checking every nook and cranny. Point Lookout is among the contenders for the best Fallout 3 content to date. A fun set-up, for sure, as the final - final, really? - downloadable content pack, Mothership Zeta, draws ever closer.

Point Lookout is some amazing fun, even if I do need to bring the equivalent of a light armored division or maybe Liberty Prime itself just to pacify the populace. I love the darker tone and the subtle infusion of horror gameplay, something that game companies should definitely take note of. Imagine this game with ZOMBIES. And I’m not talking ghouls, but actual zombies.
