The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Game of the Year Edition (PS3)

For the uninitiated, the Elder Scrolls games are massive, freeform, first person dungeon crawlers. The basic premise, in every game, is to create your character and then wander the land doing... well, whatever the hell you want, really. There's a story to follow of course, if you want to. More on that later though because, true to form, MORE work has gone into everything outside of the main story, and the quests involved in the arc itself account for a very, VERY small amount of actual content in the game.

In my traditional short, sharp style i'm going to try and tell you the essentials of this game without getting too bogged down in pointless meandering detail, I try to write only what I feel other reviews have left out, so lets try and sum things up...

Welcome to your destiny. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion is a massive RPG that takes the player to the immense land of Cyrodiil. Now, there are three plots for you to enjoy. The main one is pretty clear. The Emperor has been murdered and because of that the gates to Oblivion (which is basically the land of Hell) have opened throughout the land and only you and the heir to the throne can stop the evil from spreading throughout Tamriel. Questions? Good. The second one is a sweet, short and rewarding storyline: Knights Of The Nine.
