The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Dragonborn (XBLA)
The third DLC for Skyrim is available today on Xbox 360 for 1600 Microsoft points, which equates to $20 American. This DLC is substantial, definitely more than the previous meager offering of Hearthfire, and even more substantial than the previous $20 DLC, Dawnguard.
One early review stated that the reviewer had played for 30 hours and still hadn't exhausted the new content provided by the DLC yet. At this point it may be more fair to call the DLC an expansion pack, but the line remains murky and ultimately arbitrary.
The important thing you need to know about Dragonborn is that you can now ride dragons. If that has been something you have longed for while you're playing Skyrim, you will probably want to pick this up without hesitation. In case you need more convincing, Dragonborn takes place in Solstheim, an island north of Skyrim. The change in terrain allows for more varied environments than we've seen so far, which also nets us a variety of new and different enemies to fight. This is music to an adventurer's ears that's been cutting down the same draugr for 100 hours. Besides new locations and new enemies, there are also new shouts, and new equipment (maybe, spears? Looks like it).
Dragonborn is out exclusively for Xbox 360 today PC and PS3 versions expected out in a month. I wish it was now so I could play it over winter break, but oh well. So many games, not enough time.
