So the main differences between Oblivion and Bioshock are the story and setting and the weapons and magic you use and that Bioshock is a little bit more linear. It appears that these two games are in the same subgenre of console rpg's, "First person rpg's", right?

I'll rent Oblivion and based on how it goes I'll have a better idea of how I will like Bioshock on August 21st when I go rent it.

Thanks! I can't wait until August 3rd when I get my Xbox. I decided to go for the $399 version not the $299 version. The $479 version(black, 120gb hd, hdmi support) isn't worth the extra money for me so I won't get that one.

Between August 3rd and August 14th I want to rent all Xbox 360 rpg's!

These are(Usa releases chronologically with dates):
03-21-06 The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
04-18-06 Final Fantasy XI(w/three exp. packs)
08-29-06 Enchanted Arms
10-24-06 Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
10-24-06 Phantasy Star Universe
11-21-06 *The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine
03-27-07 *The Elder Scrolls IV: The Shivering Isles
06-26-07 Overlord
-Please note that I included both expansion packs for The Elder Scrolls IV, but they are not new games, just expansions, I won't rent them I'll just rent The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
-Also, I read that there is a special edition of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance with "Gold Edition" in the title, not sure of it's release date right now.

For fun, I'll type in the Xbox 360 fall rpg release schedule here(Usa)...
8-14 Two Worlds
8-21 Bioshock
8-28 Blue Dragon
9-3 The Elder Scrolls IV: Game of the Year Edition(w/both exp. packs)
9-17 Eternal Sonata
10-16 Final Fantasy XI: Wings of the Goddess
10-30? Lost Odyssey
11-20? Mass Effect
11-?? Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of the Illuminus

By the way, how many people here are interested in Phantasy Star Universe? I don't know much about it. Is it popular and/or good?
