Why the BioShock/Oblivion bundle is skipping the PS3 (News)

Jun 17, 2009

Nick @ PS3Center writes:

BioShock and Oblivion are two of the most innovative first person games released this generation, combined winning some odd 80+ Game of the Year awards. So when a press release went out earlier today revealing a software bundle containing the two, a lot of people's interests were piqued. However, the bundle will not be making it's way to the PS3.

ESRB: Downloadable Content Must Maintain Original Rating, Can't Go 'Out Of Bounds' (News)

Apr 17, 2008

MTV Multiplayer Blog writes: "It's only been this generation that downloadable content has become a viable opportunity on consoles, and the Entertainment Software Ratings Board finds itself in a position to regulate this uncharted territory of content.

"The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" expansion packs and the upcoming "Grand Theft Auto IV" upcoming add-ons represent the industry's most expansive departures from a game's original content. The catch: that content must remain consistent with the original rating branded by the ESRB.

New content cannot introduce elements that would alter the original rating, or the overall rating must change. ESRB president Patricia Vance explained what this meant for content makers at a MI6 Conference panel on marketing and user generated content last week."

Nov 20, 2007

Nov 20, 2007 There are more than 160 missions in the original Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, but the one everyone remembers is the errand you ran for the Daedric prince Sheogorath, also known as the “Mad God”.

10 amazing things to do in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Feature)

May 15, 2007

1) Work as a hitman In Oblivion, committing a murder is a case of “when,” not “if.” Once blood has been spilled it attracts the interest of the Assassins Guild, known as the Dark Brotherhood. Theyre always on the lookout for new recruits with a, lets say, carefree attitude to other peoples lives. Early missions are basic hatchet jobs, but promotion unlocks later assignments requiring Agent 47 levels of cunning. One target is dealt with by causing an ornamental stags head ...

Our afternoon spent sojourning in the Shivering Isles was like stepping into the mind of a manic depressive who has renounced lithium. Nurse, prepare a syringe of Thorazine: we're going in. You'll begin your questing on an Oz-like journey to see the Wizard, or should we say Sheogorath, the delightfully demented Daedric Prince of the Shivering Isles. But rather than following the yellow brick road to the Emerald City, you wander through the psychedelic briar-patch of Mania and Dementia to ...
