E3 08: 11 ways Fallout 3 will kick Oblivion's ass

PC Feature | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Fallout 3 is more than just a sequel to one of the most beloved PC RPG series ever - it's also a spiritual successor to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, probably the single most ginormous game of the current console generation. Created by Bethesda, the same developer behind that sprawling fantasy epic, Fallout 3 has some pretty huge shoes to fill - but judging by what we've seen so far, it took one look, scoffed and is currently at work on an ... » Read More

MGS4 makes last stand against casual games

PC Feature | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

“We’re in the era of casual games, and it’s time to say ‘this is for the hardcore gamer’,” says Hideo Kojima, creator of Metal Gear Solid 4. “So it’s really, really important [MSG4] succeeds.” Has he got a point? With budgets spiraling (a decent next-gen title costs anywhere from $20-40 million) companies are becoming more risk-averse, keener on pumping out sure things than trying out new ... » Read More

GamesRadar's potentially annual Platinum Chalice...

PC Feature | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

It's the end of another great year for gamers. Two new systems launched. Two handhelds waged bloody battle. And next gen gaming got a big kick in the pants - thanks to a year of lonely rule by the Xbox 360. PC gaming fought fire with nukes, waging its battle against the console-based onslaught. In short, it ruled. How do we handle this? We're handing out our gleaming Platinum Chalice to those games and systems which gave us the business. No boring list of 37 different strategy games, divided ... » Read More

Unauthorized Oblivion

PC Feature | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Some people are never satisfied, but we love it when someone takes something great and makes it even better. Pioneering upgraders like Pamela Anderson and the boys at Orange County Choppers would take one look at WWE's Stacy Kiebler and say to themselves, "I wonder if we could make her legs even longer?" These are our heroes - and they exist in the gaming community as well. They are called Modders. Modders are folks who make, well, modifications to popular PC games. Like the legendary mod of ... » Read More

Oblivion Extreme

PC Feature | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

For some people, vacations are a time to relax. Not us. When we check out of reality and go on an extended holiday in the fantasy land of Cyrodiil, we want action and lots of it. We want to find new and interesting ways to practically kill ourselves that no sane mortal would dare attempt. The beauty of Oblivion is that if you can see it, you can generally go there, somehow, even if it involves incredible risk and searing pain. It's that spirit that drives our daredevil guide to The Elder ... » Read More

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - PC Tweak Guide

PC Feature | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion breathes the rarified air of the “upgrade game,” a title so huge (and so demanding of your PC's horsepower) that you might have to buy new hardware just to enjoy it. Like two other "upgrade games," Half-Life 2 and Battlefield 2, this fourth Elder Scrolls RPG is a first-person game at heart. Hitting your target means precision aiming and good timing, just like in a shooting game. This also means your PC must deliver smooth animation (tech-y guys will ... » Read More
