The Metallica pack for Rock Band. I still play And Justice for All, Blackened, and Ride the Lightning after all of this time.
Recently? Mass Effects Leviathan and Lair of the Shadow Broker. Neither of them were as long as I had hoped, but the ride was perfect while it lasted.

Funnily enough the most recent DLC that enhanced my experience was the elite soldier pack for XCOM, being able to change the colour of my soldier's armour and pop the odd helmet on just added variety to my squad and let me give my soldiers their favourite colours (they were all named after my mates)
Other than that Halo map packs always kept me entertained and extended the lfespan of the games (aside from the Halo 4 maps, they are all too samey for me)
Lair of The Shadow Broker and Leviathan are my favourite Mass Effect add ons
I loved The Pitt and Broken Steel - really added something to Fallout 3, haven't got round to playing Point Lookout or Zeta yet and have not touched all the New Vegas DLC either
Shout out to the missions for Ninja Gaiden Black - Getting Master rank on all of them was a real challenge (never did Eternal Legend on Master though
that mission was WAY hard) and even NG2s missions rocked (mostly)

Since Shivering Isles has been mentioned already, I'll go for Red Dead Redemption's Undead Nightmare, because that is fun as hell, big as hell, and doesn't actually NOT make sense.
Coolest feeling ever having played Bloodmoon and then playing Dragonborn I'll tell you all, flashbacks, flashbacks everywhere!Griffolion said:If you play the Bloodmoon expansion I mentioned for Morrowind, you'll be able to see for yourself.xshadowscreamx said:in the elder scrolls novel ''lord of souls'' a few of the main characters travel to Solstheim, i wonder if my imagination is correct on the looks of the place.Griffolion said:I miss Neverwinter Nights so badly. I wish they'd make number 3.The Madman said:
Tribunal and Bloodmoon for Morrowind were really good. It's cool you get to go back to Solstheim in the new Skyrim stuff.
I gotta go with all the New Vegas DLC including Honest Hearts. I know Honest Hearts gets grief for being too much like the rest of the game, but I really can't complain about that when I loved the standard game so much. I also don't want to imagine a world where I didn't get to meet Joshua Graham. And also the story of the Father in the cave was epic.Shanicus said:
For Fallout: New Vegas Old World Blues was great, really interesting. Broken Steel for 3 was quite good, but I didn't like many of the other DLC for the Fallout games. The First Strike and Escalation map packs for Black Ops 1 were good too because of their zombies maps. Oh and not to forget Lair of the Shadow Broker for Mass Effect 2.
I also like the Skyrim DLC... loljks I own a PS3.

No one mentioned Starcraft : Broodwar?
The best expansion pack of all time. It's the version of SC1 that everybody played and it's the version that got into all the tournaments. The new units were awesome, as were the campaign missions.

The Grey Wolves addon for Silent Hunter III. It's a ground-up rewrite of the career campaign, which adds oodles of new ship-types and sorts out the historical timeline that was only vaguely accurate in the vanilla game. Countries enter the war at the correct times, and access to ports and supply ships change in real time, not in between patrols as previously.
It also counts as a bona-fide addon, as it adds the Indian Ocean as an operational theatre (should the player wish to use it) from about 1942-3 onwards, which was a massive omission from the original. New maps and charts that can be dragged out and viewed from the navigation map are provided that give you lots of info that wasn't in the original - safe routes through the minefields around U-boat bases, for instance.
Traffic is more varied too, meaning you'll rarely see two identically marked vessels in the same convoy. Neutral ships run with spotlights shining on their flags at night, neutral coastlines will be lit up and all the important phases of the Battle of the Atlantic are accurately recreated. The list of tweaks and improvements runs into the hundreds, at least. It really is a case of the game being almost unrecognisable from the original once you pop the mod in. It's also free, as it was made by fans.
It was so succesful that for the sequel, Silent Hunter 4 the dev team did the Indian Ocean addon as a separate commercial product, and didn't provide a fraction of the improvements that the fan-made mod for SH III did.
It's definitely among the best addons I've ever come across.

I'm going to throw my hat in the ring for New Vegas, I loved the DLC for that.
Also, I really enjoyed the Map pack from Modern Warfare 2 that had Carnival and Trailer Park, I used to play MW2 alot with my friends on the 360 and we had tons of fun on those 2 maps.

If gaming peripherals count, I vote for the Trance Vibrator for the PS2 version of Rez.
Why? It's the ultimate peripheral to use as a couple.

BG2's Throne of Bhaal. Quite possibly the best expansion pack ever made for a 2D RPG. 10-20 hours of content, a crapload of new weapons, armor and recipes, a mega-dungeon, continually-topped boss battles and a hell of a finale/epilogue - and it's even better if you get the Ascension mod for it.
Playing through that expansion blind is one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had in my life. Reaching the final end and having twist after twist start happening - Balthazar joining my party after I convinced him, Sarevok refusing godhood, Imoen freaking out and becoming a slayer, the insane final battle and my choice to remain human. As far as addons go, nothing else really compares.
