Mothership Zeta launches on Xbox LIVE photo

The (supposedly) last bit of Fallout 3 downloadable content is available via Xbox LIVE Marketplace. “Mothership Zeta” beams your Fallout 3 character above the Capital Wastelands and into the belly of a hostile alien spacecraft. Battling to the bridge in order to escape shouldn’t be an issue: Bethesda crafted a variety of new alien weapons for players to use. Judging strictly by the last alien blaster we got our hands on in the core game, these new (alien) pups should be packing a colossal -- scratch that -- an intergalactic wallop.

The content is available for 800 Microsoft Banana Dollars and if the gods are smiling on Bethesda again, players should be able to play this content from the moment of download completion.

We don’t have our hands on the content yet, so we’re relying on you. How is it?

Unfortunately the download won't even start for me.

Scratch that. It works not from the 360 dashboard but from inside the game it works fine.

Quite short, completed it in 3 hours. Good fun though, and the end of the DLC was pretty damn cool.

Yeah, I'm waiting to make sure there's no glitches or game ending bugs first...

I've been playing it for a while now. Maybe 2 1/2 hours or so. I was in the middle of a fight with a few aliens and a guardian drone and VATS froze the game. Oh well maybe I'll grab lunch and try again.

I won't be able to get my moonbucks until Friday. How is it so far? Does it have a creepy atmosphere like PL?

Game just froze, not sure if it's the fault of the DLC or just Fallout 3 in general.

Haven't had any problems. I'm on my way out so I saved and I'm sitting in/on the observation deck looking down at Roont Earth. The new Alien weapons aren't so powerful. The Disintegrator is my choice weapon, equate it to a rifle. But you get a mine thrower kind of gun off Drones called the Drone Cannon. It shoots a glowy ball that explodes a second or two after it lands on the ground. That's about it for interesting weapons though, they got a pistol type thing...Atomizer I think it was called...not so great.
