    Should come with a health warning; WILL TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE!!!

    I was a bit hesistant over Oblivion IV as I'm not really a fan of RPG (haven't really got the patience for them) but picked this game up and thought I'd give it a go. To my suprise I found myself deeply immersed in the storyline and couldn't put the game down. I am currently playing through the game for the third time as I want to max out my characters abilities before moving the main storyline forward.

    The graphics of this game are amazing especially in HD. The choice and variety of characters is literally endless and picking and choosing different classes and races does have a big effect on what your character can do. The weapons on the game are also practically endless and combined with the magic side of the game can really maximise your weapons.

    The part of the game I enjoyed the most was joining and rising ranks in the different clans. I really enjoyed progressing through and becoming more powerful in each of the clans until I was the 'boss' of them all (Thieves Guild can be very difficult to ascend).

    Overall the best non-online RPG I have played and hopefully I will be able to tear myself away from it for my exams!

The main quest line in Oblivion follows your character as he or...

      A stunningly beautiful game, hindered by the stupidest mistakes. 0

          The first thing that strikes you when you start this game up is that it’s a pretty big one. Oblivion’s location of Cyrodiil is big... Huge. And not to mention diverse. Without the in-game map you’d almost definitely lose your bearings as soon as you so much as changed direction and your jaw is very liable to fall of at the first sight of the environment from the very moment you find the exit to the sewers, where the story starts; mountains, forests and lakes – all in the same vista. It is so...
