Talk about a great addition to the game! Well worth the $10 they are charging for it now, and you get around 8 hours more game play to boot.
The story line is rather entertaining, and much more fleshed out than the original. There is spoken dialogue for just about every character and the sound effects are great.
I could go into more detail but seeing as I am the first one to post here about it I thought I would only enpart upon you two pieces of advice.
1) Do not play this game solo, you will be snuck up on....regularly.
2) Aim for the head.
Trust me on this!

I look forward to this expansion for PC, though i'm waiting to see if there will be a trainer for it.

If it's already installed, just to go Fast Travel and select Jakobs Cove.

I agree Mazuko. It's certainly worth it and quite fun to play, but I only got 3-4 hours gameplay in total doing all the quests/missions. I read a few negative reviews on this but reviewers are always dissing expansion packs (mainly because some are ripoffs with little imagination). I was always thinking of Left 4 Dead during this. Loved the humour throughout and especially the beginning when he tells the story to the girl.
The graphics in this expansion are more demanding than Borderlands (judging by using fraps its 14% more demanding for me on 4870 CF), so unless you invested in a good graphics card with plenty of VRAM, you are going to need to turn most the settings down. There are bigger draw distances and more details in the gameworld.
I played this solo during the final mission to living things up and it was quite easy as most move slow, even the bosses weren't too difficult to take down with a little cover (this is on my first play-through).
Using the '10110 Canon' you can take down most zombies first time or use the 'Pearl Havoc Rifle' with 12.5 firerate to kill most enemies. And be sure to keep looking around you as zombies pop up behind you and start nibbling on your head!
Only using CH trainers to add fun to games already completed or for testing mods, etc.

WTF I can't get the DLC from STEAM, it says i'm trying to buy an expansion for a game i don't have, I tried going in to my games on my steam account and adding borderlands but it doesn't seem to recognize it.

I don't think you can mix-and-match Retail with Steam. There must be an alternative for retail users somewhere.
*edit*
Yep, it says on the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned page on Steam that the DLC requires Steam version of Borderlands.
