Playing to your weaknesses

- Operation: Anchorage

Fallout 3, the base game, has a lot going for it. A huge open world to explore, a ton of character customization options, competent conversation and morality systems, the list goes on. Fallout 3 was great because it could be approached in a variety of ways, each just as valid ...

After the release of Broken Steel it looked like the end of the line for Fallout 3’s downloadable adventures. Luckily for us, however, Bethesda’s commitment to this sprawling open-world RPG is still in full swing as we have two new pieces of DLC to look forward to over the next ...

The best Fallout 3 DLC to date
(
X360
- Point Lookout

Point Lookout adds more of everything you (probably) love about Fallout 3 to Fallout 3. To start with, it takes place in an entirely new area, not unlike The Pitt, but unlike The Pitt, there is a lot to find and explore for diligent players. Besides the main quest line, ...

This is the one we’ve all been waiting for. Operation: Anchorage and The Pitt were decent expansions to the Fallout 3 universe, but Broken Steel has always been the big one everyone has looked ahead to. While it’s not quite the Shivering Isles of Fallout 3, it still offers plenty ...

The Pitt didn’t get off to a good start. Within hours of going up, message boards were filled to the brim with angry gamers complaining of myriad glitches and crashes with Bethesda’s latest piece of downloadable content for Fallout 3. It was eventually taken down due to a corrupt file ...

This is a very different DLC. It was fun, but with some backdrops. It starts off with you getting sucked up from space, and there your adventure begins. I think the biggest problems with it is that it is very short and the exploration is set to a minimum. Also, ...

This being the first dlc, i would say it lived up to the fallout 3 level. You received a unknown transmission which you have to investigate, upon reaching your destination you are asked to enter a simulation. The reason for this is to help the researchers at this secret base ...

Fallout 3 was one of the best games of 2008. Even after eighty hours of play it’s a difficult task to find everything there is to do in the Capital Wasteland, so it’s nice to see Bethesda are working on downloadable content to extend the playtime even further. Operation: Anchorage ...

DLC Done Better

X360

The Pitt follows Operation: Anchorage in extending the lifespan of Fallout 3 and it hits the mark a lot more clearly than its predecessor, though it's still a little short for a wholehearted reccomendation. Once again a mysterious radio transmission guides you to someone in need of help. I'll avoid ...

Fallout 3's downloadable content endeavours have been churned out on a pretty regular basis throughout this year, with Bethesda seemingly gaining momentum on each successive release. Operation Anchorage set your wastelandian denizen in a brand-new snowy environment filled with different enemies and weapons, but its sole emphasis on combat left ...

Point Lookout DLC Review

When I first heard about the concept of DLC on consoles around the 360 launch, point lookout is exactly the type of DLC that imagined in my head. Good size, well made and fairly priced. Looking back at past fallout 3 DLC operation anchorage was too linear and combat focused ...

The main quest is interesting revolving around a rivalry that takes place in the island. The story is unrelated to the setting which made the plot seem disconnected with other events happening on the island. You would expect to find out more about the tribes and locals of Point Lookout ...
