One problem with Oblivion is that it starts you off like the physical incarnation of any RPG fans cliche nightmare monster: it drops you in a sewer and makes you fight rats. So after losing my save game, I've been really hesitant to start up a new game. Who wants to go through that crap again? No one, but I think I'm going to anyway, because what better way to test out a new rig than with a game of Oblivion?

So what about you guys? It's time for the boasting, the thumping of chests. What gnarly purchases were made this week? What games will while away the time for you this weekend? Do any of them make you fight rats in sewers? Florian Eckhardt
