Oblivion was one of my favorite games of all time. When I ranked the top five games I’ve reviewed since starting AAGH, Oblivion was #1 by a long shot. There was no question. If I listed my favorite games ever, it would sit near the top with games such as Super Mario Bros. 3 and Ocarina of Time. With that in mind, can it’s successor even hope to reach such lofty heights?
Skyrim is out, and I’ve been playing it to get a review up. Do I like it? In a word, yes. It’s even better then Oblivion and looks like a Game of the Year award candidate. Let’s get a preliminary look.
Oblivion. The fourth game in Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls series still draws me back occasionally, to run through the Nibany Basin or stare into the sea off the Golden Coast, all the while questing, dungeon-delving and just soaking in one of the greatest game worlds ever presented. It’s sequel, Skyim is due in mere days so I’m going to go on a look back at Oblivion to prepare to leap forward. Come with me, to Cyrodiil.
“Ring a Bell?” is our new look-back series of articles, covering games and subjects that we either missed, were before our time or are worth visiting again. Today we start with an odd choice – the Flatout racing games, and in particular Flatout 2.
Having not played the original Kinect Sports, Season Two stands as my inaugural Kinect Sports introduction. Is it better then it’s primary competition, the standard-bearer Wii Sports Resort?
It’s been hotly anticipated since it’s announcement, and now Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is less then a month away. Beta and I loved Morrowind and Oblivion so we’re counting down the days until it’s release. We’re going to play it on PC like we did the last two but we – like many others – have been wondering if our computers can run it. Now, we wonder no more: Bethesda has released the minimum and recommended specs for Skyrim and to our surprise they’re somewhat lenient.
Dungeon Defenders is fun for anyone who enjoys a good action/rpg and tower defense game. It has some flaws, particularly in presentation, but overall this is a fun game to play both by yourself and with friends.
I had preordered Dungeon Defenders for PC at the start of this year, and it’s just finally come out. I also picked it up for the Xbox 360 to test it’s multiplayer component, so this is our first combined system article.
