Completed all Fallout 3 DLC

I finally finished the Mothership Zeta DLC for Fallout 3 late last night. That is the 5th piece of DLC for Fallout 3 and probably the last. It has been just a wonderful ride going through the post-apocalyptic ruins, meeting all kinds of different characters and doing battle with thousands of people/creatures. The level-up system for the game is terrific and allows you to play the game to your liking. The map is huge and has so many wondrous locations. The look of the game is depressing by nature, but it is so well done that you never tire of it. The sound is top notch as well, with tremendous sound effects, voice work and a fabulous (and sparsely used) score.

Fallout 3 was my Game Of The Year for 2008 and it deserves a very special place in my heart. I have no qualms saying it is one of my top 10 favorite games of all time. The DLC prolonged the adventure, letting me further advance my character and add new skills. Bravo to Bethesda for a top-notch gaming experience that kept giving and giving; I put well over 135 hours into Fallout 3 and loved every second of it.

For those interested in purchasing the game, you'd be very wise to wait until October 13th when the Game Of The Year edition is released. It includes the original game and all 5 DLC episodes for $59.95, which is what the stand-alone game originally cost. That's a savings of over $50 and well worth the money, believe me. You cannot go wrong with purchasing this game.
