An open-ended RPG that doesn't break the mold, but makes one that's bigger, shinier, and generally superior. Read Review
After the mysterious and untimely death of the Emperor, the throne of Tamriel lies empty. With the Empire ready to crumble, the gates of Oblivion open and demons march upon the land - laying waste to everything in their path. To turn the tide of darkness, you must find the lost heir to the throne and unravel the sinister plot that threatens to destroy all of Tamriel.
In development since 2002, Oblivion is another leap forward in role-playing with its combination of freeform gameplay and cutting-edge graphics for the world under The Elder Scrolls.

It's been four years since Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion took RPGers on an epic adventure, but according to a new report, fans won't be waiting much longer for Bethesda to unveil the fifth game in the franchise. Read More »
The Elder Scrolls games, and most recently Oblivion, have appealed to gamers who love to tell their own stories. While there is a central, guided experience, players work in a world where they can pick and choose the missions for their character, defining their own history and grandiose tales. Essentially the games have served as the videogame approximation of a "choose your own adventure" novel.
Now Elder Scrolls is getting a novelization, but it is, unfortunately, not a choose your own adventure. The first of two books in the works will debut this fall and will be written by Greg Keyes, a novelist of note who has written "Star Wars" novels in the past. The first book will be titled "The Infernal City" and takes place after the events in Oblivion. Read More »
It seems as though some publishers are not without a sense of humor. Back in April 2006 Bethesda released the infamous "Horse Armor" downloadable content for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion which rapidly became notoriously slagged off by users. Oblivion players were outraged at the time that the company was charging 200 Microsoft Points for something so basic as a new skin for a horse. Spin on three years and Bethesda is looking to tie in the third anniversary of the Horse Armor DLC with a little bit of April Fools action, as today it announced that nearly all Xbox 360 Oblivion DLC will be lowered to half-price for the next week, while the Horse Armor pack will actually double in price (presumably to 400 MS points).
