The first DLC for Fallout 3 gives you a unique glimpse into the background of the Fallout universe, putting your character into a simulated recreation of the United States' reclamation of Anchorage, Alaska from occupied Chinese soldiers. The DLC is fairly straightforward, with Anchorage being far more slimmed down compared to the open world of D.C., but it's a fun shoot-em-up experience to give you a mindless break from the rest of the game. While it takes place mostly within a simulation, the real benefit of the DLC comes with the rewards, which can set a lower level character up for the rest of the game with powerful gear. It's not as good as Broken Steel and The Pitt, but it's bounds better than Mothership Zeta, so it's worth adding if you're not running the Game of the Year edition.
