Dead Money is a disappointing add-on for Fallout: New Vegas that shies away from what made the core game so enjoyable while simultaneously ignoring any lessons learned from Fallout 3 's DLC. Like Fallout 3's Operation Anchorage, Dead Money sends the player to a new area, alone, with no way to return to the Mojave until the quest line is completed.

Unfortunately, it's not a particularly easy game to like to play. As a hack-and-slash, it compares unfavorably to less conspicuous games like Mini Ninjas. As a Real-Time Strategy game, it quite simply does not work. For every genre it…
