Bye bye Megaton!

If, like me, you choose to play through Fallout 3 as one of the good guys you probably didn't detonate the bomb in Megaton. Not seeing this game changing event kind of bugged me so once I'd finished the story I went and checked through my game saves to see if I could restart at the opportune moment to press the big red button. As luck would have it I found a save that allowed me to go and blow up Megaton without too much wandering of the wastes.

And so, here for your delectation is the destruction of Megaton. This is followed by a chat with Mr Burke, who I still felt like shooting, and near the end of the video you'll meet an old friend from Megaton. Seeing this old friend could spoil the surprise for you if you're thinking of playing through Fallout 3 again and you're going to take the "destroy Megaton route". I'd suggest you stop the video when Mr Burke leaves the balcony at about 3.05 to avoid any potential spoilers.

Now, before you press play, you may want to grab a pair of Joojanta 2000 peril sensitive sunglasses. You can never be too careful where nuclear bombs are concerned.

Fallout 3: Operation Anchorage

Fallout 3 was easily the game of 2008 for me. Despite a bit of a slow start it developed into something I couldn't put down and I easily put 70, maybe even 80 hours into it by the time the ending came. I encountered a couple of bugs along the way but rather than spoiling my enjoyment they actually raised a smile. Seeing a Rad Scorpion suddenly fly hundreds of feet into the air for no reason is a sight to behold.

All this puts me in a bit of a dilemma. The recently released DLC called Operation Anchorage seemed like it would be right up my street. More Fallout 3... how can that be a bad thing? Priced at 800 points it's said to provide 4-6 hours of extra play but all the reviews I've been reading of it suggest it's nearer 2-3 with the quest being a pretty linear combat based experience. I'm no longer sure it's really worth the £6.80 asking price which is a shame. Anyone downloaded this and want to share their opinion here or on the forum?
