Oblivion - A Whole 'Nother World

With the release of the Xbox 360, everyone naturally had high expectations of not just the console itself, but the new array of video games. One video in particular really hit the top, and it happens to be the one I am talking about. Oblivion came out back in 2006, but I didn't get my hands on to it until 2006. Boy did I miss out, the size of the game alone, is amazing, you can walk into practically anything that has doors, which is about every building, you can buy houses anywhere from shacks on the waterfront to a mansion in a city.

Compared the free-roam, the storyline doesn't seem that great, but nevertheless it is still fun, and provides many twists in turns as you fight your way through oblivion, saving the last heir of the empire, sounds kind of cheesy right? Let's face it though, this game didn't get named game of the year by practically every major video-game review website because of its storyline, it was because of what you could outside of the storyline. Just the amount of combinations of your player you can create is outstanding, and what's even more outstanding is the guilds you can join. Each guild gives you different weapons, spells, and other perks, and they each have their own "mini storyline".

Choose your character's destiny, will you be a thief, an assassin, a fighter, a mage, or will choose be all of them? I have played this game nonstop some days, and it became very addicting. If you are like me, you will go through many characters before you find your perfect character, which isn't a problem. If you want to figure out your best suited character, scroll down and click on my player analysis to find the perfect character to you.

If were to only have one game to play with for the rest of the year, I would pick Oblivion, because it consistently amazes me. If you want to buy it, it is now out for PS3, 360, and PC, though I don't recommend the PC version, even though you can use mods and other online PC features.
