Oblivion!

Yeah, I know this is an older game (well new to all you PS3 suckers...ha ha). But I feel the need to express my unwavering love for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

I've had the game for over a year and it's still entertaining me to this day. I have put in countless hours with 1 character WITHOUT REPEATING ANY QUESTS! Here is an official game description from http://www.elderscrolls.com/:

"Oblivion is a single-player game that takes place in Tamriel's capital province, Cyrodiil. You are given the task of finding the hidden heir to a throne that sits empty, the previous emperor having been killed by an unknown assassin. With no true Emperor, the gates to Oblivion (the equivalent of hell in the world of Tamriel) open, and demons begin to invade Cyrodiil and attack its people and towns. It's up to you to find the lost heir to the throne and unravel the sinister plot that threatens to destroy all of Tamriel."

Buy this game. But before you do, sit your loved ones down and explain that you'll be taking a "personal vacation" for awhile. Prepare them for the time-sucker Oblivion really is. Not because it drags on and on, but because it is a new and amazing experience every moment you are playing. You begin to care, feel and live in this fantasy world...maybe sometimes neglecting personal hygiene in the real one.

Oh, and if you work for Bethesda - I am accepting bribes. I prefer a PC format, but can work with an XBOX 360 copy.
