Bethesda has announced it will be offering those of you without Live access a chance to play the Oblivion expansion Shivering Isles.
Beginning sometime in October, it will be shipping a boxed copy of the game which will also include the downloadable add-on Knights of the Nine. The suggested price is USD 29.99.
Those of you with a 360 will also get a Game of the Year edition in the same month, containing the original campaign as well as Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine. The cost is reckoned at USD 59.99.
Unfortunately, for now, Bethesda has no plans to release any of the other downloadable content on disc (horse armour, Frostcrag Spire, Mehrune's Razor, etc).
PS3 owners, on the other hand, won't have so many options. A Game of the Year edition is planned to follow sometime after the 360 and PC versions, but there's no movement on a Shivering Isles disc just yet. There's also no word on when the downloadable content will make it to the PlayStation Store.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is a free-roaming RPG that cost British industry lots of sick-days. Pop over to our Oblivion and Shivering Isles reviews to catch up on the action.

You can pre-order the 360 Oblivion Game of the Year Edition, which includes the main game (obviously) plus the Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles expansion packs, for £29.99 from Play.com, £5 cheaper than everywhere else I've seen. It's definitely worth getting if you've yet to play the game as Oblivion is still the best game on the Xbox 360, although BioShock comes close.

Basto. can you elaborate? I dont want or need 200 hours of gameplay. 20 is more than enough for me!!! Is it worth me getting this if i am not prepared to give over my life. I mean i am still not quite finished with Bioshock, after some fairly solid play by my standards, and with so many good games on the horizon, should i bother with Oblivion?

You won't be able to finish it in 20 hours, but you sure can have fun with it for 20 hours. It's not a perfect game by any means, but it's definitely worth trying out. I got bored after maybe 30 hours when I played it first, then bought the SI expansion a few weeks ago and have since then played it for another 30 hours or so. Stopped again for now, mainly because my character has become a bit too powerful, but I am pretty sure I'll finish it one of these days. |

Hmmm maybe if theyve done the game of the year edition properly, ie it should load faster than the PS3 version and have atleast equal drawdistance(PC especially and 360 should now have the improvements they did to the PS3 version, perhaps even more), they probably have too(didnt they do lots to the morrowind GOTY?).
Im not sure I will have the time for a game as big as this when do pick up a 360, theres so many games I want to play now.
