Elder Scrolls Online DLC Descriptions

Elder Scrolls Online is complicated in how the downloadable content (DLC) is handled.  Some you can buy outright, some comes with the Elder Scrolls Plus subscription (but not always), some you buy with crowns, some you don't, etc.  The Elder Scrolls Online Wiki has a nice description of the various ways players can buy the various types of DLC.
https://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/DLC

For a description of the various Zone, Dungeon and Chapter DLC, try The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages.

Dungeons in Guild Wars 2

There are nine dungeons currently in GW2 (and some that are available during various holiday events only).  You have to be a certain minimal level to enter each.  Each dungeon has a story mode and an explorable mode which you can do after completing the story mode and advancing you level.  It looks like you run dungeons in groups.  Here's more information but once you hit level 25, the game will send you a letter explaining how you will be notified about dungeons that are available to you.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dungeon

This guide to dungeons in Guild Wars 2 has a list of eight of the nine (but the guides are finished for only half of them).  There's a map of their locations, but it isn't too clear.
http://guildwars2grandmaster.com/dungeon-guides/

The same website also has a guide to farming dungeons for tokens, which you trade to the dungeon's vendors.

Here's a list of the Normal and Level 50 dungeons (PvE) for both factions.  Note that the Level 50 dungeons are divided into tier 1 and 2 levels.  Disclaimer:  This information is based on the beta.  I don't know if things have changed.

Rift TV

TGN.tv has created a series of Rift videos about various aspects of play.  There are two pages of everything from general introductory videos and gameplay to character creation and dungeon guides located here.  It's worth a browse to see if there is anything of interest to you but remember that these were made from the various betas.  There may have been changes for the retail releases of the game.
http://tgn.tv/?s=rift

Here is a good introduction video on how to use the UI and maps, etc.

Rift: Wikis

Besides the official Rift website (www.riftgame.com), there are several other Rift resources that may be worth bookmarking:

Rift Junkies seems to have maps and dungeon walkthroughs already. This site is packed with information, making it hard to navigate.  Click on the tabs at the top under the header (especially Guides) for help finding things.  You can also use the search box at the upper left corner.
http://www.riftjunkies.com/

Telarapedia wants to be your one stop Rift encyclopedia.  There are videos and a navigation column on the left to help you find what you want.  This site has great potential as it seems organized and the articles I've read are well written.
http://telarapedia.com/wiki/Rift

Rift Kingdom is an IGN-hosted site so you'll see lots of ads and contests here, but the home page is a great place to catch up on current Rift news.  Right now the news is all about the servers.  However, the home page has links to the Wiki (second link below) and the Guides sections (third link) which has a lot of information. Note if you click on something in the Guides section (Paladins, for example), you often get a blank page.  This is a work in progress but IGN has the resources and writers to make this something worth keeping an eye on.
http://rift.ign.com/

http://rift.ign.com/wiki/Rift_Wiki

http://rift.ign.com/wiki/Category:Guides

Rift Kingdom's Beginners Guide is very helpful when you are choosing the race you will play.
http://rift.ign.com/wiki/Beginners_Guide

Rift Wiki has an interesting graphic organizational style that may be easier for some folks to navigate.

Level 1-60 Dungeon Quest Experience Nerfed

Blizzard has decided to cut the amount of XP lower level characters get through dungeon finder so they won't level so quickly.  The article isn't clear whether this will start with Cataclysm or has already been implemented in Patch 4.0.3a The Shattering.
http://wow.joystiq.com/2010/11/30/low-level-dungeon-quest-experience-nerfed/

UPDATE: Psynister is compiling a list of dungeons' and battlegrounds' their new level ranges.
