Exclusive Dev Diary
"Magical Mystery Meat "
Greetings! I am Brendan Anthony, also known as Raptormeat on the forums (and, unfortunately, sometimes also known as Mr. Meat around the office). I have been a gi-normous Elder Scrolls fan for many years and had the chance to join the team as a programmer after Morrowind. To have the opportunity to work not just on Oblivion in general, but specifically on some nifty magic, physics, and graphical effects is a tremendous honor, and I’m really psyched to reveal some of my favorite features and info to you guys.

Interviews & Previews

"Being an RPG fan, I've been waiting for something huge. Not just a few cars or a set of levels to shoot through, but a fully interactive world to be immersed in. And that, my friends, is what the Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion promises."
xboxgamers XboxGamers
"Basically it’s like a big fantasy sandbox for you to jump into and experience however you like."
shacknews Shacknews
"Oblivion looks extremely promising, and gamers across the globe are counting down the days remaining until the release."

"Even more than just bringing characters to life as they go about their daily lives, I'm excited about the use of Radiant A.I."
dailygame DailyGame
"When you walk through a town and see people going about their business, or having conversations with each other, or opening/closing businesses at dawn/dusk, it feels much more believable."

Reviews

"...you can look forward to Call of Cthulhu mightily impressing you and freaking you out equally in return."

"Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is the Lovecraft game fans of the author have been waiting for."
boomtown Boomtown
"It has a gripping plot, well-realised locations, cerebral puzzles (especially the ones involving safes), a unique sanity system, a good length and one of the most unsettling atmosphere’s we’ve encountered."
gamespy Gamespy
"A true cult classic."
