The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PC)

First, I realize that there isn’t much to be said about this game that hasn’t already been put out. Especially when one considers that there is already an expansion (Shivering Isles) and a collection downloads with new quests (Knights of Nine). However, with an upcoming posting on the PS3 version I figured I would throw my two cents in on the PC version.

The Good: Seriously, there are so many things that are great about this game that I couldn’t even begin to name them all, but I’ll try, haha. The overall graphics, the detail in the gaming environment, the customization of characters, the amount of quests and side quests, the many different factions (especially the Dark Brotherhood), and having played the PS3 version the game play is much better on the PC. Though, my favorite feature is the extremely long gaming time you get from the game, hundreds of hours can be invested in this game making it worth your hard earned cash.

The Bad: At times the quest can seem like you’re playing Simon Says. Simon says walk here and do this, then Simon says walk there and do that, and you end up doing this over and over again until you run out of quests.

Overall: The game is amazing, you can grab hundreds of hours out of without blinking. Also, once you have completed all of the factions and quests in the game you can begin again with a completely different type of character.

Rating: 5/5

Final Words: Overall one of the best games I’ve ever played.
