We were just talking about this yesterday and I don't know not too thrilled so far about what I've been hearing about the xbox 360.

I love the gamespot coverage of Oblivion. I'm still hoping it'll be an xbox 360 launch title. From the interview, it seems like they're almost done developing it. They're just tweaking. :)

web-toedchloe #2.1 web-toedchloeOG 2001

Yes! Oblivion will be a launch title!!!

did you see the HD footage of the game yet?

web-toedchloe #2.1.1.1 web-toedchloeOG 2001

Yes! It's so amazing. I'm so looking forward to it! They're not giving away too many details of the storyline, but in a Morrowind expansion, I found a book called "Oblivion" and it talked about what I think the storyline will be; who the new villian is. :) I'm such a sleuth!
