PC / Console Games	Next Fallout 3 DLC detailed: new dungeon, weapons and armor By Andrew Webster \| ArsTechnica The recently released Operation Anchorage episode for Fallout 3 helped flesh out some of the game's story, as well as introduce a new area outside of the Capital Wasteland. The next episode, The Pitt, will look to do the same by bringing gamers to the ruined remains of Pittsburgh, and now we have a few more details on what we can expect in this new area. A feature in the most recent issue of UK Official Xbox Magazine (via CVG) gives some of the first details on the upcoming DLC. The Pitt will feature a new dungeon, but will also include a new settlement to explore. This area is divided into two sections: the downtown area is home to the slaves, while the masters take residence in Haven. It looks like the new episode will have players interacting with raiders for the first time—and by interacting I mean talking, not removing limbs—with a main quest that will see players take on the role of a slave to investigate rumors about a cure for mutation. Additionally, The Pitt will also feature an abandoned steel yard for players to investigate. Of course, the area will also feature a number of new weapons and pieces of armor. One such item is the Auto Axe, which the mag describes as "a bit like a chainsaw crossed with a Black & Decker hedge trimmer." Definitely sounds like something you could have some fun with. The Pitt is expected to be released next month, for both the Xbox 360 and Games For Windows Live. Expect more details as the release date nears.

This sounds interesting. It's starting to sound like DLC for this game is too short. Not enough to do with these small packages. Will have to check it out to know for sure.

PC / Console Games	Now, I did play through the Operation Anchorage DLC, and while it was by no means epic-length, it did take a reasonable amount of time to complete (I was at Level 12 when I began the quest, and I wouldn't recommend waiting any longer than that to begin...higher level characters might breeze through too quickly). I was rather impressed and entertained. It was incredibly straight-forward and linear, but hey, you're inside a VR machine running a training program.

Pen / Paper RPG	With my third character I started Anchorage @ lvl 8 and almost finished 10 by the time I got out. took about 6 hours to find all of the goodies and "loot". I hope the Pitt and the Broken Steel DLC's are longer, or at least add abit more to the main game that Anchorage did. Still, I loved it. I've played through it thrice.
