I tend to break it down by company. The majority of Bethesda's DLC has been pretty legit (horse armor not withstanding). Bioware's offerings, on the other hand, are almost always some combination of too short and too expensive.
My stance on DLC as a whole is that it's meant for people who really, really, REALLY love a particular game. These people are looking for any kind of extensions or additions they can get their hands on, so cost and longevity are complete non-factors.
If you're the sort who thinks there are plenty of games out there to buy and enjoy, DLC is just a bad investment. You can save the cost of 4-5 DLC packages, which typically yield 30-60 minutes of additional content per, and simply buy a completely new game.

I am assuming you mean DLC you have to pay for?
Well, I really enjoyed Lair of the Shadow Broker. Emphasis on character and story is always appreciated. Although Liara sometimes came across as a bit obsessed. (I wonder if that was intentional...)
Witch Hunt was... alright I guess. But it wasn't anything special though and had a suspicious amount of recycled content. Also a distinct lack of closure.
And... well, that's it. Every other bit of DLC I have bought, played or seen has been crap. I have nothing against the concept od paid DLC, but the people making it are going to have to lift their game before I start accepting it as a welcome development.
(It bears mentioning that there are some very good free downloads out there. Mostly Valve's offerings. TF2 stuff, The Sacrifice etc etc.)

Point lookout for fallout 3, because that trippy walk in the swamp was AWSOME
also broken steel because it fixed the stupidest ending ever
anyway Other than that I dont have access to DLC which is a shame because I would love leair of the shadow broker,

Horse Armor. Oh yes, finally my majestic steed can look the part, and it cost me a mere $5! What a steal, and now my horse wooks pwetty!
Or to forgo the sarcasm: Shivering Isles, although that's not DLC, strictly speaking. Guess I don't waste enough of my money of paltry patches labeled content to know any better...

Point Lookout and The Pitt, Fallout 3.

Actually, I got Shivering Isles when Xbox Live had a deal that was "50% off all Oblivion DLC, except Horse Armor is double price". I thought it showed a great sense of humor, and was almost tempted to buy the Horse Armor at that price (well I actually didn't know it would be $10, that would have sobered me right up).thethingthatlurks said:
I think I'm actually going to get the Knights of the Nine, then I'll have all the mission based Oblivion content I think (not the extra homes that you had to pay for). This summer maybe I'll finally max out all achievement points.. only game I will have ever done so on, and only game I've played so consistently over so long a time.
Ah, you sneaky ninja. I think the best out of the Borderlands DLC is the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned... or is it Dr. Zed?... The one with the mustache!Palademon said:
Also anything by Valve because its almost always FREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! ... and awesome
Undead Nightmare, almost liked it better than the original release. The fact that it came out just before halloween....I <3 rockstar.
