I just finished playing the previous two and I must say the story- and statcheck- driven Dead Money was better than FNV itself, whereas Honest Hearts was shorter and "weaker" but visually excellent, giving the player a break in the midst of the sepia-hued bleakness of the Mohave. This is a Jools newsitem, so we'll let him have the final word: Best of all, it fleshes out the past and teases about the future, setting the stage for Lonesome Road and the end of the Courier's journey. The story alone takes a good six or seven hours to play through, and even then there's still enough juice in the tank to warrant a few more just poking around and finding new things.

It all adds up to the strongest expansion in the relaunched series, across both Fallout 3 and New Vegas. So here's the good news: Old World Blues brings funny back. There are certainly moments of levity in Fallout 3 and New Vegas, but the endearingly surreal streak of humour that once made the series stand out has been notably absent since Bethesda took it over.
