For being the guys famous for Horse Armor, the guys at Bethesda sure have come a long way. As one of the few companies able to pull off consistently released and high quality downloadable gaming, they also stand as part of a very small group along with Telltale Games (Sam and Max, Monkey Island).
Point Lookout is just the latest in the list of great downloads for Fallout 3, and the first following the cap-raising Broken Steel. All that said, this is easily my favorite expansion yet.
Point Lookout takes the wanderer from Vault 101, via riverboat, to the coastal swamps of what was once Maryland. The riverboat dumps you off at the Point Lookout boardwalk, the desolate remains of a tourist park. While definitely different from the look of the Capital Wasteland, it's not until you get further inland that you really start to see how different things are. Point Lookout is all foggy swampland, and the wooden shacks give you an idea of what kind of local flavor you'll be facing before you even meet them for the first time.
