The first official expansion to Fallout 3, dubbed Operation Anchorage, released today. It weighs in right around 300MB, which Mr. Maroon says is quite heavy for a Bethesda pack. Maybe they gave it custom audio? A video cut scene? Who knows! Buy it (ha) and find out!

Here’s the story snippet from the game’s website.

The Brotherhood Outcasts are trying to acquire advanced military technology, and the only way to open the vault containing these relics is by completing a tactical simulation only you can enter. In Operation: Anchorage you will re-live the epic Battle of Anchorage from Fallout lore. Find your way into the simulation, stripped of resources, and survive within the rules set up by the simulation’s creators. The Chinese red army is everywhere, so secure the surrounding mountain side and fight your way into the Chinese base.

Sounds cool enough. I’ll leave a full review to Maroon, as he’s the resident Fallout 3 guru.
