The game takes place within the fictional land of Cyrodiil. The Microsoft Windows and Xbox version was released in March 2006 while the mobile version of the game came out on 2nd May 2006. For instance, the PlayStation 3 version was released in March 2007. While there's no sign of Bethesda's more recent entries, such as Oblivion, Skyrim, or the more modern open-world Fallout titles, the opportunity to pick up these stone cold classics once more is great news for returning fans or curious newcomers alike. Oblivion was released for different consoles on different dates. Rights issues lead to their removal from the storefront for a time, but it's good to have them available, and without DRM, once again. With a new Doom due for release in 2016, this is a great way to get a history lesson on the sci-fi/horror shooter series.įinally, the original Fallout games - the first two post-apocalyptic RPGs and their strategy-minded sibling, Fallout Tactics - make a return to GOG.

Picking up all five games will currently cost you a shade over £15, a fantastic deal for literally days worth of entertainment.Īlso added to the GOG catalogue are a bundle of classic id Software shooters - Quake, including its two mission packs, The Ultimate Doom (1995's updated version of the original game), and Doom II, with its 'master levels' and Final Doom rebuild. Given these chapters haven't been legally obtainable for a very long time (and even if you had the original release or 'acquired' them through other means, you'd have to jump through hoops to get them working on modern machines) their new availability is absolutely huge for fans of the series. Even better, the first two entries - 1994's original Arena, and 1996's Daggerfall - are added to your GOG library for free if you purchase any of the other Elder Scrolls or Bethesda titles.
