I've been wanting to try Oblivion; the only thing thats making me stop is that I really don't like the concept of first person swordery (especially without a wiimote type thing). Can you change the camera angle to third person?

Yes you can but it's not really helpful. I don't think there are people who play Oblivion from 3rd person perspective. I had the same worries like you, I hated 1st person games because they made me feel dizzy. Oblivion is a bit different because of the slower pace compared to most first person shooters. Plus you can manipulate and interact with the world around you so the first person perspective has more meaning and gives a better feeling. But it's all a matter of taste, if you can play it for a while at a friend's place or maybe ask for a try-out in a games shop. The starting dungeon is a great place to get familiar with the game and the controls so do that first.

In any case, Oblivion has been and still is a landmark for modern RPGs and almost a year later is still unsurpassed. If you like open-ended RPGs, I'm sure you're going to like this one.

Hmm.. I guess I'll take your opinion and try it out somewhere. Unfortunately, game shops here wouldn't just let me try it out, and I'm not sure I have any friends who have it. I'll see.

In Ninja Gaiden, does anyone know how to get up those floating platforms after defeating Doku? It's driving me barmy! :mad:

Is Age of Empires 3 good?

I think it is very good. But I am a sucker for RTS, but seeing as how I havn't played too many lately I can't be that good of a judge. But I can say, if you liked AOE2 you will like AOE3.

Hell, ima go play now. :dio:

i thought that it didn't add enough new content, just retooled the old formula and made it look shiny.

so i say, if you like AOE2 you you will like it becasue it is the same. Im not sure its worth the money though.

currently i am playing KOTR:2 for the 50th time.

AOE3 is good, I would get it. KOTOR:2 I have been meaning to play seeing as how I beat KOTOR. Should I buy KOTOR:2?

GTA: Vice City

yes, old as fuck, but i'm bored and it's GTA so it has to be good.

Resistance: Fall of Man on my PS3. I think it's an incredible FPS...I haven't gotten into the online yet, but the campaign is great. Amazing weapons, intelligent CPU, tight controls...really good game.
