Fallout 3: Mothership Zeta announced
Description:
Defy hostile alien abductors and fight your way off of the massive Mothership Zeta, orbiting Earth miles above the Capital Wasteland. Mothership Zeta takes Fallout 3 in an entirely new direction – outer space. Meet new characters and join with them in a desperate bid to escape the Aliens’ clutches. To do so, you’ll wield powerful new weapons, like the Alien Atomizer, Alien Disintegrator, and Drone Cannon, and deck yourself out in brand new outfits, like the Gemini-Era Spacesuit and even Samurai Armor.
Story:
A strange Alien signal is being broadcast throughout the Capital Wasteland, originating from a crashed UFO. Is it a distress call, or something far more sinister? That question is answered when you find yourself beamed aboard an enormous Alien spacecraft, with only one alternative – to fight your way to the bridge of the ship and secure your escape.
Key Features:
Find and exploit new and destructive alien technology, like the Alien Atomizer and Drone Cannon.
Explore the vast Mothership and learn the secrets of the Aliens’ master plan.
Thwart the Aliens’ attempt to stop your escape, and take over the Alien ship before it wreaks havoc on the unsuspecting Earth below.
Fight against the Alien Invaders, their robot drones, and turn their own horrible experiments against them.
Ally yourself with an unexpected array of characters, both from the Capital Wasteland and from Earth’s past.
Four screenshots have also been released.

Re: Fallout 3: Mothership Zeta announced
I've bought all of the previous DLCs, and the only one that was maybe not worth it was Operation Anchorage.
It was a linear shooter, and while it made sense in context, it didn't really fit with the rest of the game.
Its only redeeming qualities were the Gauss rifle and winterized T-51b power armor, and those were only useful if you either hadn't finished the game yet or were continuing with the rest of the DLCs.
Hopefully Mothership Zeta won't be the same experience as Anchorage.

New Fallout 3 Weapon & Perk [Jul 20, 2009, 4:56 pm ET]
MTV Multiplayer has word from Jeff Gardiner of Bethesda Softworks on new weapons and a new perk to be added to Fallout 3 in the upcoming Mothership Zeta DLC for the post-apocalyptic action/RPG. The mission-specific perk is called Xenotech Expert. Word is: "It increases the damage you do with alien weapons, including the Alien Blaster if the player had found that in the wasteland." And here's what Jeff told them about new weapons:
Mothership Zeta is full of the most high tech weaponry in the game. It includes a Shock Baton for melee fighters, multiple new firearms including an Alien Atomizer, a pistol, and the Alien Disintegrator, a new rifle. There's also a new grenade type, a Cryo Grenade, which freezes enemies for a short period of time. On top of that there are new unique weapons, and a new heavy weapon.
Cryo grenade? Hasta la vista? :shattermax:
