Fallout 3: Broken Steel - May 5th


Finally we have a release date for the third Fallout 3 XBL exclusive DLC - the 5th of may 2009. And for 800 points you'll be getting a major update with lots of new sidemissions. 1Up summed it up nicely:

[...]
Broken Steel starts two weeks after the events of Fallout 3, regardless of how the "end" of the original game played out (and the expansion incorporates choices you made, such as whether you used the FEV or not). Project Purity is in full-swing, and there's a new group of Brotherhood of Steel members working out how to distribute purified water to the Capital Wasteland. In addition to the new endgame-expanding main quest, Broken Steel also turns Project Purity into a hub-area. From Purity, you can undertake new sidequests apart from the Broken Steel plotline; one example is investigating the disappearance of a water caravan that was delivering fresh water to Megaton.

In addition to the new, powerful weapons, and a higher level cap, the developers have added some powerful enemies to give high-level players a bit of challenge. These include the Tri-Laser-wielding Supermutant Overlord, the Feral Ghoul Reaper (who's fond of tossing grenades) and the Enclave Hellfire Trooper (an Enclave soldier who delivers the goods via Heavy Incinerator). Hines also commented that the leveling process after 20 should be longer than expected, with each post-20 level requiring a significantly-larger amount of experience before obtainment -- it seems likely you'll have to scour the land and do everything if you want to hit the level 30 cap.
