Oblivion, superb game, but needs a decent system to play it properly (ie. with high detail in a high resolution, with effects turned on).

It's an RPG, from an FPS-viewpoint, much like ES3 (Morrowind), but with massive development over the previous one.

There is a storyline to follow, but you don't have any time limit to do so, and there are hundreds of side quests you can venture out on in the meantime...

I'll grab some screenshots when I've had my dinner...

Some more screenshots, from various sources (some/all may be PC-version, and not XBox360, but am under the impression they are quite similar):

http://members.aol.com/gardin324/oblivion01.html

Some more, done with the free-camera facility (large images, so have left them as links not images):

And some more from the same guy (anyone recognise who the character is?):

http://194.150.120.21/~floydian1/ScreenShot8706.jpg

Don't know whether the XBox360 version has the same modding capabilities as the PC version, but there are thousands of mods already available for the PC version......some more pics, same guy again (he likes his screenshots):

Can't help but think a tiny amount of anti-aliasing would improve those images somewhat.

Unfortunately, in the PC-version, the developers saw fit to make it so that you can EITHER enable HDR or AA, but not both without a bit of a hacky solution which hammers your frame-rate......in fact, this describes the reasons much better than I can.

And yes, Steve, if you're not a fan of turn-based stuff, this will probably suit you a lot more...

Correct film, but it's Sauron himself, not the Witch King of Angmar...

If you've got decent download-bandwidth, Steve, have a look at this video. It's about 65MB, but it's basically a developer-commentary of various parts of the game......so you can see what it looks like, and what the game's about.

Oblivion is superb steve, it's not turn based it uses real time fighting

Will take up a lot of your time if you're going to get right into it, the game is huge but you can advance through it as quickly or as slowly as you want (doing side quests etc..)
