Hey now, Operation Anchorage is actually good. It's just different, is all.
Mothership Zeta is indeed awful, though.
However, now you have a different problem: You need to get your DLC through GFWL instead of Steam. Have fun!
I didn't like Anchorage. 95% of it is just a simulation so you know you'll have 0 chance to influence the game world or "make a difference" in anything. There is something there if you want the lore I suppose, but they really don't go in depth with that either.

Yesterday and today I popped in the Red Dead Redemption disk and played some MP... I'm usually not that much into online play, but the world and gameplay of RDR keep drawing me back.
Now, if only I could find those friggin' rabbits and kill them.

Saints' Row The Third. Oh my word this is so much fun so far! It's GTA turned up to eleven.

The fact that someone could genuinely
feel that way, apparently without experiencing even the slightest cognitive dissonance regarding the hobby itself, is IMO

Took a break from the (slightly underwhelming) Arkham Asylum to play some LA Noire and I'm loving it. The style, the facial animations, the gameplay, it's all up my alley... I just did The Fallen Idol which had that great madcap chase and shoot-out in the film set. The only thing that I'm struggling with is the interrogation techniques, I've gotten by now that Truth/Doubt/Lie isnt' literal and can often just be the tact to take, but I'm not picking out the Doubts from the Lies very well.

It's really truth/doubt; lie is reserved for when you know you have evidence disproving the other person's statement. Doubt is for when you're sort of sure they're lying, but you can't prove it.
Oftentimes, if you screw up one question, they'll give it away with their expressions thinking they're pulling one over you.

They now sell the Fallout 3 DLC, fortunately (you'll still have to redeem purchased keys and download the DLC though the GfWL Marketplace client though). Steam recently changed their DLC distribution policies, any game's new DLC must be sold through the Steam store.
This is why Crysis 2 and Dragon Age 2 were pulled from the store and also why they don't sell Battlefield 3. EA didn't want to play ball with Valve.

That's because the interrogations are manic depressant simulations. WINNING
