Bioshock/Oblivion Bundle

Since the dawn of time, there has always been one universal truth: two of something is always better than one. This concept has been at the core of gaming for years, be it through co-op, dual wielding, or even the surprisingly impressive sequel.

2K Games and Bethesda Softworks are taking this idea to heart by announcing the release of the Bioshock & Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Bundle, coming to a North American retailer near you on July 7th. In case you missed them, these are two of the titles which helped put the Xbox 360 on the map and made sure it was able to stay there and free to make inappropriate gestures a the competition.

In 2006, Oblivion set the benchmark for RPG experiences on next-gen consoles. With its gorgeous visuals, expansive worlds and near-limitless character customization, Oblivion was able to provide players with both unprecedented levels of freedom and amazing NPC interaction. Thanks to features such as these, the game soon became one of the most critically acclaimed titles ever.

The equally awesome Bioshock came out a few years later, and took the world by storm with its engrossing story, innovative FPS mechanics, and horrifyingly beautiful style. Utilizing DNA altering mutagens, the game was all about creating a more effective weapon: you.

Amazingly, if you combine all the acclaim these two titles have garnered, the bundle comes to over  80 Game of the Year awards from some of gaming’s best publications! According to our sources, the bundle will be available in retailers across North America for an SRP of $39.99 on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and $29.99 for Windows PCs. If you somehow missed playing these landmark titles, you have no excuse now that they’ll be sold together at a pretty nifty price.
