    Call of Duty: Black Ops - Escalation
    All in all, I see a lot of classic Treyarch in Escalation (for some people, for good or bad). While people may not have the best things to say about Treyarch's programming ability, when it comes to level design, I think they have first person shooters down pat. Unless you're completely bored of Black Ops, I'd highly recommend picking up this map pack – even over the first one.

    Portal 2
    While it doesn't quite feel so new or exciting, the central premise is as brilliant as ever and Valve has enough tricks up their sleeves to keep it challenging, interesting, and hilarious as always.

    Rift (2011)
    Rift provides a unique, rewarding experience and proves to be a worthy alternative to some of the best MMOs available. However, there is plenty of more work to be done in the areas of end-game, PvP, and professions.

    Angry Birds Rio
    If you absolutely hated the original Angry Birds, AB: Rio isn't really going to sway you into becoming a fan; but if you at least had *some* fun with the original, you should most definitely come back for more, especially at the .99 price point.

    Mos Speedrun
    Mos Speedrun doesn't really do anything above and beyond the call of duty, but retro fans craving a challenge are sure to find yet another hidden gem in this title. While it isn't as good as, say, League of Evil, it's a pretty solid companion game for any retronauts out there.

    Ultimately, while Dead Money is a pretty fun affair, it doesn't really have the "wow" factor a few of the DLC packs did in Fallout 3. While the three hours it took to complete is on the longer side for downloadable content, I'm not really sure Dead Money is worth the full $10 asking price.
