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 quite as bizarre a pairing as Triv/Burnout Paradise, but these double packs always strike me as slightly odd.
Word of warning: Oblivion apparently is not the GOTY edition. |

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. |

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

"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. |

@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. |

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. |

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? |

"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). |
