Like shooting things? Sure you do - otherwise you wouldn't play first-person shooters. The desire to aim down a barrel is even more important when traveling the Mojave, otherwise you'll end up dead really quick.

Fallout: New Vegas: Gun Runner's Arsenal is the second of two DLC packs Bethesda slipped in right under player's noses last week. The first, Courier's Stash, was geared toward newcomers, leaving little value for veteran players who've crossed the desert multiple times. Gun Runner's Arsenal is aimed directly at these players. Like Courier's Stash it doesn't offer any new story content, but does give you a few more options in your loadout.

Fallout: New Vegas: Gun Runner's Arsenal offers players a cool set of options for dealing with the worst of what New Vegas throws at them. For around $4, you gain access to numerous weapons, weapon mods and ammo types. Although a big chunk of the weapons cater to ranged characters, there are a couple of really nice melee weapons available as well. I'm not much for getting up close and personal, but with a rev'd up chainsaw, I'll happily charge into the fray without regard for my personal health. If you can't find something to fit your play style, you're not looking hard enough.

Although the new weapons do border on the extreme (such as a mini-nuke launcher), none feel out of balance or too powerful. You'll gain a bit of a power boost if you're still near the start of your adventure, though players on the back-end will find the new weapons give you just enough of a edge power-wise to match up against harder enemies, but not enough to break the encounters.

It's incredibly hard to not recommend the Gun Runner's Arsenal to players. There's enough here for both new and veteran players, giving each something new to take into battle with them. Even if New Vegas has been hanging out on your game shelf, the pack is enough to encourage a return experience (the DLC expansions are a good reason as well). Although a few weapons are little more than amped-up versions of existing weapons, Gun Runner's Arsenal comes as highly recommended.
