Elder Scrolls V To Be Direct Sequel To Oblivion?

"Would You Like To See Some Of My Wares?" This line is from the addicting RPG Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion. Ever since it came out gamers were losing themselves in the game world and the game was a smash success. This was during the time when Bethesda only had the internal studio and wasn't the growing powerhouse they are right now with their numerous aquisitions.

Rumor: Uncharted 3 Reveal At VGA's?

If you or anyone you know owns a Playstation 3 you've probably played Uncharted. The Indiana Jones-esque action adventure series has received widespread/universal love over the story, gameplay, and absolutely mind blowing visuals and launched Nolan North into superstardom. Uncharted 2 was out last year and was crowned Game of the Year from numerous gaming publications. Kotaku is reporting that Sony is planning on revealing Uncharted 3 to the world on December 11th at Spike TV's Video Game Awards show. This may just be a rumor but Sony has said that they intend to announce a PS3 exclusive so large that it is getting it's own event. If Uncharted 3 is actually announced than practically every PS3 owner will be reduced to a Justin Beiber fan. This is the only time where that might be acceptable.
