The Skinny: Broken Steel is worth the 800 Microsoft Point asking price alone for letting players continue their journey through the wastes after the events in the Jefferson Memorial. But like a Billy Mays offer, there's more! Broken Steel also raises the level cap from 20 to 30, meaning all the XP you keep earning once you hit level 20 go towards something useful, like ya know, leveling up.
Oh, and you get to play through a new set of missions and nab some sweet weapons like the Tri-Beam Laser Rifle and square off against behemoth Super Mutant Overlords.
The Verdict: Even if you're usually DLC aversive, Broken Steel is a no-brainer must-have if only for the higher level cap and the ability to venture into the wastes once Project Purity is activated. The addition of more achievements and quests is just icing on the Fancy Lads Snack Cake.
