What Fallout 3: Broken Steel is

Fallout 3: Broken Steel is a role-playing (rpg) game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and released in 2009. It was published by Bethesda Softworks. It is available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC (Microsoft Windows).

The premise, in the publisher's words

There are five packs of downloadable content (DLC) for the Bethesda action role-playing video game Fallout 3. Each package of downloadable content adds new missions, new locales to visit, new non-player characters to encounter, and new items to use. Of the five, Broken Steel has the largest effect on the game, altering the ending, increasing the level cap to 30, and allowing the player to continue playing past the end of the main quest line. The 2009 Game of The Year edition of Fallout 3 includes the full game and all five pieces of downloadable content.
