Fallout 3’s downloadable content has been very successful. Each package has kept the spotlight pointed in Bethesdas direction well after the launch of the game in 2008. Keeping gamers focus on a single title for all these months is a big accomplishment, so why are they stopping at five?

Microsoft has announced that Grand Theft Auto IV: Lost and Damned will be featured as their Deal of the Week for starting on August 24th.

One of the more interesting Deal of the Week announcements to date, the first Grand Theft Auto IV episode will be available for 1,200 Microsoft Points, instead of the usual 1,600. After purchasing the Lost and the Damned myself (read my review here) I believed it was definitely worth its original price tag, but with the upcoming discount, every GTA fan should give the add-on a try. If you haven’t given Lost and Damned a shot I suggest you take advantage of the discount on August 24th.

Microsoft confirmed a list of the new features coming to the 360 Dashboard via the Xbox Live summer update expected to hit on August 11th. Curious about what this new update will be bring to dashboard? Here is a list of everything Microsoft is stating will be included in the Summer ‘09 update.

Bethesda has released a few details concerning the next installment of DLC for Fallout 3 today. Mothership Zeta, dated for an August 3rd release, will be the final add-on for Fallout 3. This time around, players will be abducted by aliens when answering a distress call. Judging by the details I have been reading, this is not going to be friendly visit, so be prepared to wipe out as many aliens as possible in hopes of returning to earth. Apparently, some characters from the earths past will be making an appearance in Mothership Zeta, implying that aliens have been abducting humans for a long time. No specifics were released as to who we might see aboard the ship, but would you really want them to spoil it ahead of time? Of course, as with every add-on pack, a few new weapons and armor options will be available to experiment with. The update includes a Gemini-Era Spacesuit, Samurai Armor, Alien Atomizer, Alien Disintegrater, and a Drone Cannon. Even though it wasn’t mentioned in the information released, I would assume this expansion would be a good place to stock up on Alien Power Cells used in the Alien Blaster as well. Just a guess though. The DLC will be released for 800 Microsoft points ($10.00), which has been the magic price for all previous content packages. If you have grown a little weary of wandering through the wastelands, Mothership Zeta should act as a neatly packaged escape from the D.C. ruins.

1up.com posted a story earlier this week (check it our here) reporting that Bungie President Harold Ryan, in an interview with the Seattle Times, expressed excitement for Microsoft’s recently unveiled motion control peripheral Project Natal. When speaking with the Seattle Times, Harold was quoted saying, “ I absolutely think Reach could be enabled with it.” After E3 we learned that Microsoft and Sony are working on getting into the motion control game that has made the Wii so successful.
