    I've heard this DLC is only 1 hour long, is this true?.

    r.e. FO3:NV, I got it cheap fairly recently (well Christmas time.....) and played it through to the end, and encountered no bugs, so......

    Just a rumour, hopefully that person rushed through it. I'll get it regardless, as it should be quality anyhow.

    Not far off no. In terms of actual content equaling length, its a pretty damn accurate timescale.

    In terms of accounting for dying against the enemy spam you have to face solo? Possibly a bit longer. I didnt time myself but Id have been shocked if it clock in at much of 90 minutes of play.

    Spotted it a good hour before CVG and stuck it in my DL queue... Still got to wait another hour to get home and probably another hour to DL at 7pm on XBLA day... For an hour's game! I'm not complaining though. Mass Effect + Lance Hendrikson = WIN!

    As for Fallout, I'd say its pretty solid now. I've played through 3 times (twice VERY thoroughly). First time (pre patch) I got achievement-spawning quest bugs and lost companions, plus had to backtrack when I got the "DLC missing" save bug, which was very annoying. Second very thorough play through (post-patch) checked for those specific issues and they were fixed. Only came up against one annoying but not game breaking bug finding Loyal to do Raul's companion quest, which TBH unless you know what you're doing or you stick to Raul like glue, you might never even know about...

    Latest rumour is Honest Hearts (next FO:NV DLC) is due out April 19th, which is where my XBLA radar's going to be pointed once I've downloaded Arrival... :-)

    If not there already it should hit any time now. Noon East Coast time now (although Alberta is 2 hours behind).
