As the follow-up to Bethesda's chart topping game Oblivion, Fallout 3 brought great expectations and delivered on most, if not all of them. However, after so long, people started to grow weary of the super-mutant encounters and the Ghoul infested tube stations, and looked forward to some new challenges in the form of DLC(downloadable content). Finally it arrived. Operation Anchorage is available to download now from the Xbox Live Marketplace for 800 points.
Once downloaded, the average gamer may be somewhat un-nerved by the lack of notification on how to access the new content, but in opening a saved game, in moments a ditress call will be received, leading you to a new location. I will not explain the story in fear of spoiling the experience, but it is safe to say that it is a welcome addition to the original game.
This 4-5 hour scenario finds the gamer on a virtual reality mission to infiltrate an Alaskan military installation, re-living the liberation of Alska from the Chinese. Focusing more on the FPS side of Fallout 3, the player finds themselves rarely needing to use V.A.T.S. and using more of a crosshair reliant approach but stealthy none the less as is shown from the silenced 10mm pistol and the stealthboy you start off with. For the player who has completed everything, Operation Anchorage is a welcome new piece of story and it is good to see some quality DLC for a good price (debatable).
