I've been having some fun with Two Worlds, the "Oblivion killer" from 2007. I did enjoy this game back in the day but it took some effort to remember why - it makes a terrible first impression. It looks great but the engine is awful - masses of pop-in and it still grinds along at under 60FPS in towns with turned shadows on.
It also does itself a disservice with the terrible dialog and voice acting - I can't decide whether this silliness is intentional or not but it's actually quite endearing after a while. "Say hello to death", etc.
Anyway, all of that aside there's a lot to like. Exploration is fun, combat is OK, loot is great, and some of the quests are vaguely interesting. I'm playing the PC version which has native 360 controller support (after a registry hack to enable it), and that works really well.
It tries to do a lot of things and sometimes it succeeds, sometimes not, but overall it errs on the side of lightweight fun over in-depth RPG.

I remember playing Oblivion and getting bored of it, so I picked up Two worlds, for xbox 360. I loved it. The voice acting was atrocious and the animations were a bit wierd, but I had a great time with the game itself. I didnt finish it because they released an update that wasnt compatible iwth your save game so to use it you had to start over. I have the collectors edition for PC and will have to install that some time soon.
