10 Video Game DLC Packs That Are The Most Value For Money

10. The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles

When Bethesda continued their Elder Scrolls series with the massive Xbox 360 PC and (eventually) PS3 title The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, players were more than satisfied with the volume of content on offer. A little while after release, the Knights of the Nine pack was added and it brought a great new questline and additional items.

This was just the start, however, and when Shivering Isles came along fans were staggered by the wonderful new region to explore. Shivering Isles added to the rich lore of the Elder Scrolls series with a diverse and huge new landmass, exciting new challenges and some truly brilliant characters. Shivering Isles captured both the serious and silly sides that make Tamriel such an inviting place for gamers, and the volume of content it added to the original game was excellent.

One of the best things about Shivering Isles is that it separates itself so well from the events of the core game that it's clear it is a genuine extra. You can enjoy The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion without this expansion, but you'll enjoy your gaming life a whole lot more if you have checked it out.
