The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is one awesome game. In fact, I’d go as far as saying that it is one of the most immersive games I’ve played in a long, long time. If you wish to catch up on your backlog before you jump into Skyrim, you should do so now as Steam have slashed the prices of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, its predecessor as part of their midweek madness deal.

Re-open the gates of Oblivion

This brings down the price of the Game of the Year (GOTY) Edition to just $5 (Rs.254) that includes the base game, as well as two expansion packs, Knights of the Nine and the Shivering Isles expansions. You could also chose to go in for the Deluxe GOTY edition that includes all the content mentioned above along with Fighter's Stronghold Expansion, Spell Tome Treasures, Vile Lair, Mehrune's Razor and much more. This will set you back by $6.24 (Rs.317).

Even though Oblivion is a five year old game, it still looks good even today thanks to the plethora of mods available for this game. If you haven’t played it yet, we most definitely recommend it.

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.
