My latest purchase, not at all old-school, is Elder Scrolls IV, Oblivion. I've had it for three weeks now, but since I was finishing up for my MSc. I've had to restrain myself. The day after the final presentation I eagerly ripped of the shrinkwrap and put the DVD in the drive. I was a little bit anxious because I wasn't really sure how my system would handle the little resource hogger...
But lo and behold, I'm able to play Oblivion at Medium with decent enough framerates... Awesome... Just awesome...
Don't have time to write anymore... have to save Cyrrodil again :D
