BioShock and Oblivion UK bundle dated

By Tom Bramwell Published 18 June, 2009

PC and Xbox 360 pairs.

2K has announced plans to bundle BioShock and Oblivion together on PC and Xbox 360, with both platform versions due out in Europe on 10th July.

The PC version has a suggested retail price of GBP 19.99, while the Xbox 360 duo will set you back around GBP 29.99.

Which, if you haven't played either of them, ought to be a bit of a summer head-turner. Kristan gave both games 10/10 - check out his BioShock and Oblivion reviews to refresh your memory.

    £30 is way off. You can get them seperately for around or under a tenner.

  • Inquisitor #2 3 years ago

    What a strange bundle considering the prices you can get them individually. Not only that but these '2 in 1' games packages become essentially worthless in terms of trade in value. If they throw in all the Oblivion DLC (Shivering Isles et al) it softens the blow a little but it's not great.

    Not as good as the Steam deal for PC owners either.

    I find it hard to believe anyone reading this article hasn't played at least one of these games.
    I haven't played either of them, I want to but there are so many games and so little time.

    But as someone said, I can already buy them for £10-£12 each.

  • AphoticCosmos #5 3 years ago

    Bizarre combo to say the least.

  • dsmx #6 3 years ago

    Odd combination that's more expensive then buying them separately, that's going to sell sooooooooooooo well.

  • Triggerhappytel #7 3 years ago

    Yeah, that's very steep for the 360 versions, and it's not like the games are rare or anything.

    Also, I have to say that whilst I liked both games, neither really kept me gripped. I got bored of BioShock around Cohen and in Oblivion I just got bored of the terrible combat around identikit areas.

  • systems #8 3 years ago

    They're £9.99 each on console so thanks for the saving. Doh.

    A good pair of 8/10 games though.

  • Petulant_Radish #9 3 years ago

    I’d give Crofto 2/10 for sexual prowess, and that’s only because he gave at least five seconds of jackhammer effort.

  • dr_faulk #10 3 years ago

    Oblivion is worth any price. I tihnk it has solidly become My Favourite Game Of All Time. Just own a copy, whatever the price.

    How could you call Oblivion an 8/10 game? Are you Morrowind people?

    How much opinions like to differ: I thought Oblivion was very, very average.

  • Triggerhappytel #12 3 years ago

    "How could you call Oblivion an 8/10 game? Are you Morrowind people?"

    I would too, and I barely played Morrowind (because it ran like shit on Xbox and I'm not a PC gamer). If the combat in Oblivion was improved and the level design a little more diverse then it would have been far better, but it just feels so repetitive at times. I got about 20 hours in and just lost interest.

  • metallicorphan #13 3 years ago

    both great games,both easily at least 9/10...i have both already so the £30 price tag doesn't both me,LOL

  • systems #14 3 years ago

    @dr_faulk - exactly. I was expecting it to be Morrowind++. It was more style than substance. Everywhere looked the same and if you didn't look at the map you couldn't be sure where you were. You could be anywhere.

    As for Bioshock, before you ask yes I'm a System Shock 2 person.

    If they did a System Shock 2 + Morrowind GOTY bundle, that would be something to rush out for.

  • GamerG #15 3 years ago

    The RRP is £29.99 so it could go for anything under that...

    Dumb asses!

  • Katsumoto #16 3 years ago

    Crofto strikes again! I love it.

  • carrotcake #17 3 years ago

    wow people seriously think 30 quid is too much for these two top games. 15 each. someone said its way off. bioshock is 13.99 on steam

  • Bezzy #18 3 years ago

    THE THING ABOUT BIOSHOCK IS, WHENEVER I PLAY IT, I JUST CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT PEOPLE ON COMMENTS THREADS GOING APESHIT, AS IF THE ENTIRE STAFF AT IRRATIONAL HAD A GO ON THEIR COLLECTIVE MOTHERS.

  • Razorus #19 3 years ago

    WTF is Crofto?

  • gaselite #20 3 years ago

    Bioshock is absolutely a 10/10 game in my book. It's greater than the sum of its parts which are all pretty fucking great as well. As well as being extremely playable, atmospheric etc etc, it's flat out one of the most out and out interesting games released this, or any other decade. That may seem like damning with faint praise, but it does stand head and shoulders above so many games in terms of storytelling, thematic considerations etc and so on.

    Truly a classic.

  • rogueJT #21 3 years ago


    Bioshock is 7/10. Pretty poor combat but the ability to customize of your character sort of makes up for it.
    Pretty repetitive too - especially the pipemania hacking game.

    Oblivion is a good game but in this day and age where you can pick up games for half nothing preonwed do you really want to spend all your time at it?

  • UncleLou #22 3 years ago

    "WTF is Crofto? "

    Why, a big gamer with pretty strong but informed views on gaming, which often leads to him looking down on most gaming reviewers since they talk complete nonsense. He knows what makes a good game, and what makes a bad game... He's been wasting his free time playing the bloody things long enough to tell the difference (unlike most gamers out there).
