The new Andoran mod makes your trip back to Oblivion a more visually pleasant one.

It seems the PC modding community is in full throttle this month. First we had the uber badass Grand Theft Auto IV ICenhancer mod that made GTA IV look like a next gen game. Then we had a bunch of amateur modders working on a co-op mode for Crysis 2 and now, according to Shadowlocked.com, we have Andoran: Prologue, a visual mod that gives Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion a much needed visual jolt.

Now you have a reason to head back to Oblivion

Oblivion was a beautiful game back in the day but today but back in the day was nearly five years ago. The Andoran mod adds in a ton of new maps, textures, character models and a lot more gameplay tweaks as well to make the game visually acceptable by today’s standards. And best of all, like all mods, Andoran will be free when it drops later on this year. You will obviously still need a copy of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion to activate this mod.

For more on the mod, head on over to its official site.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
