The PC will also be getting an official editor for the game in December, appropriately titled G.E.C.K (Garden of Eden Creation Kit). Fallout 3's game director Todd Howard said of the editor, "We've always seen the original world of Fallout 3 as a foundation for even more content. Some created by us, and a lot more created by users. It's fun to create your own character, but it can be equally fun to create your own adventures. We can't wait to see what the community does with the G.E.C.K."

Operation: Anchorage, a simulation of the liberation of the Alaskan city from Chinese communists, is the first of the downloadable episodes. Exclusive to Xbox 360 and PC, it will be followed by two further instalments; The Pitt, taking place in a raider town in Pittsburgh and due in February, followed in March by Broken Steel, which extends the main quest and takes up the story of the Brotherhood of Steel.

Fable II hasn't even been out two months, but already the adventures in Albion are expanding. Today, Microsoft announced the first downloadable content for Fable II, the Knothole Island Pack, is being made available on December 12 for 800 Microsoft Points.

Those who take the journey to Knothole Island will find that the former paradise is dying. The once sunny destination has gone freezing and the beautiful fields are covered in snow. To save Knothole Island, you'll need to brave the trails of the three shrines. New quests, new characters, and new items await.

Those who download either the premium or free pack on December 12 earn some bonus goodies. These include the Knight's Boots, Assassin's Gloves, a weight loss potion and collectible silver book.
