The first DLC pack for Fallout: New Vegas, "Dead Money," doesn’t launch until December 21 (hey, that’s my mom’s birthday!), but you can get a good long look at it now, thanks to a new trailer from Bethesda.

“Dead Money” puts players in a bad situation; the kind of situation where noncompliance equates to explosive decapitation.  On the plus side, the $10 Xbox 360-exclusive DLC provides new weapons, perks, terrain, and enemies, and ups the level cap to 35.  On the minus side, it forces you to hunt for treasure for a psychopath or have your head blown off.  Toss up.  At least players will have a few AI teammates to help them out of this hellish death trap.
