Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Oblivion is a staggeringly ambitious game that successfully unites some of the best elements of RPG, adventure and action games and fuses them into a relentlessly immersive and intoxicating whole. If the irresistibly picturesque visuals don’t draw you in, then the ability to engage in a massive, unique and above all hugely entertaining adventure ought to tip the balance for anyone doubting how good this game could be. If ever a game was worth the full asking price, Oblivion is it – to miss out on it would be tantamount to a dereliction of duty.

Is the Elder Scrolls IV worth a purchase? Definitely. Currently, it’s as good as gaming gets on the Xbox 360. If you’re an RPG fan, it’s an incredible experience. If you regularly beat RPG fans with hockey sticks, you should still try this one out. It’s got combat issues, the hotkey system could have been implemented better and some may be ticked off by the environmental loading stutters. However, none of those criticisms hold back Oblivion from being a thoroughly enjoyable, user-friendly, gorgeous experience with enough content to keep you returning time and time again.
