What To Do Until March 21st? Options

[Loki]

Hey, im just another Oblivion crazed fan who really doesnt want to wait until March 21st to play Oblivion. Any ideas on things to do in the meantime? Any great PC games you can reccommend? (besides AOE III, i already got it)

As a College Student I'm writing my last Exam on March, 20'th so I know what to do the next weeks. After that ...

Hey, I can sympathize -- I am writing my thesis, so let's hope the game doesn't come out before I get the majority of it written, or I will have to make the oh-so-difficult choice between academic success and retreating into my own little fantasy sandbox. =)

On another note, I picked up the new PC Gamer (which, btw, has a great feature on Mev. Total War II, for those interested) and the magazine's 'release date' section listed Oblivion as a possible February release. This is the latest issue, so I wonder where they are getting that information from, but this seems unlikely.

What to play until Oblivion? I would suggest Battle for Middle Earth II, which I have been beta testing for a while now. It hits the stores at the end of the month and even if you are not a big RTS person it still has the Tolkien fantasy element to it, which is really well done. And there are elves this time around.

There is even a pseud-roleplaying component: you can create your own custom in-game hero, and customize everything from appearance to weapons to powers according to the manner in which the character advances during the course of the battle. Haven't you ever dreamed of leading one of the seven wizards into battle? =) Play the demo on fileplanet.

I am a subscriber to PC Gamer and I have had the March issue for about two weeks, so the info in the february mag is acctually about from the first or second week of January. But I agree that OB will not release in the next week (last day of the month)
