Bethesda & Microsoft have released the first Downloadable Content Pack for their post-apocalyptic first-person-role-playing-shooter-game (or FPRPSG as we like to call it round these parts).
The pack costs 800 Microsoft points (whatever they are), which roughly translates as £6.80 or the equivalent, and comes bearing a few hours of gameplay, some new weapons, a new perk and 4 achievements (worth 100 Gamerpoints combined).
Alas, as per usual, whilst the Xbox Live route is cut, dried AND permed, the Games for Windows route is permiated with problems, hurdles and other stumbling blocks with which to trip over. Rock Paper Shotgun does a pretty fair job of summing up most of the problems you may experience, so you might just want to check there for the dirt, then check EuroGamer for ex-Zoner Will Porter’s opinion of the content before you decide to put down some money Microsoft Points.
