Possibly the game I was looking forward to the most this year. It does a good job of sucking you in, just like any Bethesda game. Melee combat is still not all that great, but spellcasting and archery are still good. I agree with some of the things that they removed from the game from Oblivion, but it definitely feels a bit overly simplified. Other than that It's definitely worth buying if you like huge, open RPGs.

This is one of the most atmospheric games to come out as of late.

If you haven't played this game, then I have to ask: what is the ****ing matter with you?! This game is a legendary masterpiece. the main theme is choice. You as the player call the shots as an anti-terrorist specialist in this bleak, near future world. My favorite example of this is when you're ordered to kill an enemy leader who is unarmed and has surrendered. You can either do as you're told, disobey, or kill the one who gave you the order. In my opinion, the only game to come close to this kind of decision making since Deus Ex is Mass Effect. Even that just falls short.
