Working down the hall from the best Xbox magazine available - OXM - has many obvious advantages. For example, a library of all 360 games ever released can come in handy...

Still, we've never been as thankful for our location as we are today.

Behind the orange Movies tab above this article, you will find the first ever video footage of upcoming Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion expansion, Shivering Isles. Launch the video player and look for the one titled "OXM feature 01-19-07."

This is eight minutes of bliss for fans of the RPG behemoth, as they've interviewed the game's developers extensively and uncovered a ton of revealing info. You'll get an in-depth introduction and your first glimpse at the strange new world of Shivering Isles, including its unusual characters, bizarre architecture and seriously scary creatures. You didn't see any of this stuff in the three screens we ran yesterday.

But as comprehensive as this video is, it's just the beginning of the story. For exclusive screens, concept art and six pages brimming with additional detail, you're going to want to leave your computer right now and go buy the recent issue of OXM. It's on stands now, so what are you waiting for?
