Oblivion Day

It may be raining in London but it was sunny in Cyrodiil this morning. Yup, Oblivion is so good I spent a pre-breakfast hour galloping across the countryside. Sleep? I've got a 7-month old daughter who likes waking up very very early. Of course, the big news is that finally - FINALLY - the game is released in Europe today. If you have a 360 then Oblivion is a no-brainer. At the very least you can show off the graphics, though chances are you'll be sucked in by the sheer scope of what is on offer. Be warned though - Oblivion has a steep learning curve, far removed from the handholding console norm. The manual is essential as on-screen prompts only give you the very basic info. And even then there is still confusion, with the manual only barely adequate. But clear out a few hours, start playing and it all makes sense. RPG, action game, virtual world tour - Oblivion is all of these and a lot more. I think this is already a contender for Game of the Year. Post your Oblivion impressions in the comments.
