Because it looks like a great game, but there's no way Dad will let me get a game rated like that with little kids around the house.

As for alcohol, like in many RPG games you can consume alcoholic drinks, and there is some sort of a drug called skooma. But its not really a problem IMO.

Violence could be more of a problem. Even if you cant tear apart your enemies, you can sometimes see blood on your sword and there is blood on the floor if you kill or attack someone. And you can find parts of corpses in vampire or necromacer themed dungeons
Again it depends on what are your parents thinking about it. As for me, Oblivion hasnt got so much violence as many other games out there (Postal anyone?).

'Sexual themes' wouldnt be a problem too since, unless you install some particular plugins, everyone is wearing underwear in the game, even if they havent got any clothes.

Can blood be turned off? Because that was one of the main reasons my dad would let my brother play COD:WaW.

Yes, blood can be turned off. As for Tobacco reference, (was this in the rating?) There is just an ingredient that is tobacco.

More Medal of Honor Allied Assault:
This guy was giving me such a freaky look I had to capture it.




and the bridge blows! Which actually means failure, but it's a cool shot anyways.




*shudder* dogs.



This next bullet probably hurt.

I loled at the first screen, its from the submarine mission, isnt it.

Here are more screens from me:

Silent Hunter 3: Silent Hunter 4 U-Boot Missions:

It's from the "Die Sturmweghr" mission - that's the only mission in which the scientists are with the soldiers in the same room. Also, the NAXOS "Lab" in the Submarine mission wasn't made of concrete.

Also, Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul mod is definately the best modification in my opinion.. it changes the game completely and adds new elements/realism.

Time for a n00b Q.

Is that WoW? Because if it is, Runes of Magic looks like a direct rip off lol.

It is WoW, although the HUD looks different from what im used to (is it modded?).
And yeah, WoW was the first big MMORPG, and many following MMORPGs were just copying WoW, still I havent got that much information on other MMORPGs since I have played only WoW. But I have seen screenshots from other MMORPGs, for example Warhammer Online, and they looked quite the same as WoW.

WoW was orignally a copy of Everquest style though.

Could be, I have never played Everquest, therefore I cant say anything about similarites between theese two games. Still I think that WoW has made that genre so popular causing a creation of many copies of itself under different names. (No Im not a hardcore fan of WoW, in fact I have stopped playing it a while ago, dont want to pay to play and private servers are waaaaay too buggy).

Nevertheless those discussions about 'what is a copy of what' are kinda pointless. So we could start looking back and say that (for example) crysis is a copy of half-life, half-life is a copy of quake and quake is a copy of doom; while SWBF is a copy of battlefield and battlefield is a copy of unreal tournament.
What I want to say is that there are some genres of games out there, which have got games that are similar to each other, therefore you can say that one game is a copy of the previous game.

To answer the question about the HUD, yes it is modded. I am using a few mods to allow custom interfaces. BTex, X-Perl and Bartender are the 3 mods present.

More Oblivion

wow caleb, oblivion looks cool

its not just looking cool!

Makes me really want the game. Which is all the worse due to my complete inability to convince Dad to let me buy it.

Arma 2 is great (needs some performance tweaking though)
...and I was testing my rig trying to use COD4 @ 1920x1080 with 32xaa forced on:

I love ArmA II too. I guess Ill post some ArmA II and Oblivion screens later, as for now, I think its time for some Empire At War (+ Forces of Corruption and of course mods). Only space screens for now, land screens will come later.

Nice Empire at War Screens.,negah
Think i try it sometimes.

Anno 1404 - Dawn of Discovery Some Ghostbusters - Final Boss Pics (Spoiler) Other Pics that i like.

Nice screens Alex´

Here are some Fifa09 Screenshots :
