Best Expansion Pack - Age of Empires II: The Conquerors (c) Microsoft
Honourable Mention - Homeworld: Cataclysm, Rollercoaster Tycoon: Loopy Landscapes

Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion is the official add-on to the award-winning, best-selling real-time strategy game Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings. Focusing on legendary leaders, The Conquerors will challenge veterans and novices alike to wage war on an epic scale with all-new civilizations, unique units, technologies and campaigns based on infamous conquerors such as Attila the Hun, El Cid and Montezuma.

Here's a quote from our review of Age of Empires II: The Conquerors:

AOE2: The Conquerors is really a very good expansion pack. It brings in five new races (Hun, Aztec, Mayan, Korean, and Spanish) during times in history that let you "be" their greatest conquerors. OK, the "be" part is a little thin - this isn't an RPG even in the Diablo sense. You control, say, Attila the Hun like you would other units, but he must survive each mission because if he dies, you fail. The missions let you sort of experience the battles each of these races' leaders fought on their way from the mailroom up the corporate ladder to conqueror greatness. Each race brings with it a special technology and unit as well as some minor unit bonuses.
