Old World Blues, the third downloadable add-on for Fallout: New Vegas, is now available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.


In Old World Blues, the residents of the Mojave have long assumed the trackless wastes of the 'Big Empty' are a no-man's-land, a desolate stretch where no living thing can survive. In Old World Blues, you discover that is far from the truth....

After being transported to the Big MT research crater, you find you're the only hope of saving the "Think Tank" – a strange group of post-human researchers who inhabit the facility. They enlist your aid to save them from their own experiments - experiments that have gone horribly out of control. As you explore the huge stretch of the Big Empty crater and its many underground labs, you’ll confront strange mutated animals, battle terrifying new atomic robots, and discover a new home base to call your own.

Watch the newly released trailer for Old World Blues, the third add-on pack for Fallout: New Vegas, add Fallout: New Vegas to your wishlist on 360-HQ and browse through a few screenshots.


Add "Fallout: New Vegas" to your wishlist on 360-HQ.COM
