User Rating: 9.5 | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion PC
One of the few games that have come out in the last year that offer a truly open ended gaming experience. Oblivion has a pretty standard storyline but it is done well and is easy to get swept up in. If however you want to go off and become champion of the arena or Arch-Mage of the mages guild instear of sticking to the main story you can do so. Thanks to the way enemies level and get better equipment along with you, you can do any quest or dungeon at any time in the game and still find it challenging. There is so much content in the game it is almost staggering but you can easily ignore what you want to and focus on what you want to, and with the fast travel system you can bypass any slow traveling you want to. All in all Oblivion is a very well made game with my only real complaint being the re usage or faces and voices throughout the world. It can get really annoying to see the same face on everyone from the beggars to nobility and bandits and heroes and hear the same voice coming from that face. If you can grit your way through that then there is one of the best made games this year waiting for you.
