To put it lightly, it’s amazing. I’m a huge fan of Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls series to begin with and no amount of “Oblivion with guns” cynicism can dampen this experience. They really hit the nail on the head. It’s a sequel that’s not completely derivative of it’s predecessors and it’s different without being alien. I’ve sank around 14 hours into it already and I’ve barely explored the whole map. I don’t think I’ve even really started the main storyline. I’m having too much fun doing sidequests and finding little hidden secrets.

Like I told Katie, Fallout 3 is one of those game where I know I should come up for air, I just don’t want to. It’s one of those games worth holding a trip to bathroom to pee for an hour just because I don’t want to stop playing. Even though I’ve turned it off, I can still hear the songs on Galaxy News Radio over the blowing winds.

Hellgate London This is Diablo with Guns. It’s buggy and the part I’ve left off at gets frustratingly difficult but if you’re into Diablo you can forgive these flaws pretty easily. I play as a marksman so I use nothing but guns and I play the game like it is Doom with randomly generated levels.
