It truly is probably the most simple RPG in the world, but I found myself playing hours of it a few years ago. It is just as addictive as any other RPG and I really think I liked it so much because I was young, and I got it. There was no complicating text, or missions to do. You simply got money, by clicking a "work" button. And got stregth, by pressing a "go to the gym button" I could go on explaining the game, but just realize that it was extremely simple. 

The only thing that worries me about oblivion is the time aspect. I'm not a guy that can usually play a game for 70 hours. Their needs to be something that can keep me going. And I hope oblivion, has that something. I've heard great things about the game, and can only hope to like it as much as some of you. 

Other stuff, you most likely didn't notice, but I changed myself from Microsoft aligned, to neutral. When I was on the forums, I didn't want to come as a fanboy, and thats the reason I did it. 

I absolutely agree with Jeff about geometry wars. He said that the game loses its addiction level, when you go back to play it, and you can't even beat your own scores. I mind myself really trying to beat the scores that I posted the first night, but just can't seem to do it. I was so concentrated that first night, and I did fairly well. (for me) Now when I get bored of COD4 I try to go back and play it, but just plain can't because there is nothing more frustrating, then getting worse at a game, not getting better. 

Which is the reason I bought Braid. Ill post thoughts on that when I beat it. O and just putting it out there. Im looking for 3 other people to play Castle Crashers with me when it comes out. Anyone want to play?
