You're still playing Borderlands, right? If so, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, the first downloadable content for the game, should be of interest. For $10 USD you get a whole new zone with a bunch of new quests, enemy types, and opportunities to snag more loot. Wrapped up in Halloween themes, the Island also sticks in the mind more easily than other zones in the game.

It's still nothing incredible, but the bubblegum tale is packed with humor, cultural references to things like Scooby Doo and more that should keep you entertained.
