Note: this post contains rumors which are unsourced, because they’re rumors. While I wouldn’t post about them unless i was fairly certain they had some credence, they should not be taken as fact, and should be approached with the appropriate amount of skepticism. The exception to this is the fact that the three studios in question did blackball EGM/1UP (as well as a number of other publishers in Europe as well), and Sony did fuck up last year and try to bully Kotaku into pulling a story.

Friday, January 11th, 2008Oblivion just won’t die
Wednesday, October 10th, 2007If you haven’t picked up Oblivion, you should. With the recently released Game of the Year Edition, players can get the original game, along with all the important DLC, for 60$. Or, if you don’t care about the DLC — even though you should — then you can pick up the original version of the game for $29.
For those of you that do own the game — and I have a hard time imagining that that isn’t everyone who reads this site — next week will give you a reason to get back on the saddle. Starting monday of next week, the final expansion, the Fighter’s Stronghold, will be available on XBL and for the PC. And, while this is enough to get many Oblivion fans salivating, it also comes with the fantastic price of free.
The Fighter’s Stronghold will be a base that is themed more to the sensibilities of the fighter classes in the game — in the same way that the Thieves Den was themed towards scouts and what have you.
The final expansion will only be free for the first week, so don’t miss the chance.
