Selling over 1.7 million copies in its first month, Oblivion has gone on to sell more than 9.5 million copies (as last recorded in 2015). Oblivion released to universal acclaim from both fans and critics, with both praising the game’s jaw-dropping graphics for the time, level of immersion unseen before, and unique interaction with the world the player was thrust into. Originally slated for a November 2005 release, to align with the launch of Microsoft’s Xbox 360, the game was pushed into the following year, giving the extra time Bethesda certainly needed for a project of this scope.

One game in particular that I adore though seems to get quite the amount of flack from current gamers: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Games like the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Kingdom Hearts, and the original Halo trilogy all helped shape my gaming interest and passion for the medium.
