I think it just gives people an alternative to explore and its quiet a fun thing  to do I think you can be really evil or really good or whatever you like in these role playing worlds.  And I also think that things like Oblivion is a break through title because it really does put a whole world for you to explore with characters you can talk too quests that you need to undertake of course you being the central hero of the overall story that runs through out the game. \u003cbr/\u003e10.

\u003cbr/\u003eAnd for many designers the best is yet to come - and it could be via the internet.  \u003cbr/\u003eAt this week''s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, Sony unveiled its much awaited PlayStation 3 and Nintendo its Wii (pronouced Wee) to compete with Microsoft''s Xbox 360. \u003cbr/\u003eThe XBox 360 was launched in November 2005, getting a head start in the race
