Resident Evil Beware!
With the release of Honest Heart's coming soon, Why not give a view on Dead money. Dead money though was released months ago for the 360 still some people are iffy on it. And should be so because unless you are into Survival Horror type games. This game isn't completely up your alley.
One thing that can be said is, this is more New Vegas. The same complicated plot about what your "factions" intent are besides what he says. The story is about Father Elijah. If you played though with the Brotherhood of Steel you know he was the original "Elder" and left without a trace. Well here he is back and fairly crazy about the Vault. Noted this is not like the normal Vaults of the game, but rather an actually money vault housing gold and various other treasures.
But here is the catch, You go in there naked. All your weapons have to be procured on sight including armor. And this is where the game get's difficult. Unlike in the normal game where you can buy everything you want. You have to slowly gain guns, armor, medicine, and food. Your companions can never die because if they do then you die. Hardcore mode also adds in this unique damage that happens every 30-60 seconds you take a little damage which prevents sleeping in almost 90% of the beds in the game.
If I stopped right there you might say. Man this sounds stupid! Well I'm happy to say Dead Money is very helpful. Not just to mention the loot, the increased level cap, and extra perks. The DLC for some people can be kinda like the ultimate test of your character. "Could you handle being a high level and absolutely no gear" And for the weak at heart might dislike this, but with a bit good old exploration and maybe some help from the Fallout Wikipedia, Dead money will be a breeze and will take away at least 5-10 hours from New Vegas.
