"The original Oblivion is still great as it is!" I would yell from my porch at anyone who walked by. It's definitely showing its age almost 20 years later, but I really was having a fine time...
It's been at least 15 years since I last touched Oblivion, but a few seconds of the triumphant theme Reign of the Septims brings me right back to the menu screen I saw so many times on my Xbox 360.

Luckily for all of us today, that stultifying corpo-speak isn't the real reason we're here: We're here to check out a new trailer for Doom: The Dark Ages, revealing—for the very first time!—the Cosmic...
