The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Xbox 360

Pros Cons
Engaging story  
Addictive gameplay  
Just plain fun  
The Only Reason That i Got To Purchase The 360

My wife and family were addicted to Morrowind; so it was a wonderful surprise, when it was announced that the new xbox would have a new morrrowind available. So far I havent been able to reproduce my mountain ramping technique in the new game. I have to say that the only downside to this new addition, is the long loading times. I haven't had any freeze-ups or lock-problems, that I experienced with the old game, on the other system.
I also love the fact that you have more options in customizing your character, to include facial modeling. It took a while to get used to the inventory interface, but now I'm not even thinking about it.
I've had to restart, because I'd already cleared out a cavern before trying to complete the fighters faction quest (the one where you are investigating villager disappearance with trolls in the caverns. I had cleared out the trolls and my objective arrow showed that I was supposed to find something in this one area of the cavern, only to find zombies and skeleton parts everywhere)

The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles - Xbox 360

Pros Cons
Amazing visuals  
Addictive gameplay  
Innovative concepts  
Just plain fun  
Totally Awsome Addition

The only con that I have, is that I had to learn a new cloning technique. Man! I was unprepared for the visually different look of the Isles! Talk about mind-blowing differences between these places and the rest of the lands of the morrowind! I had heard that it was worth it, but had to wait for retail, before I could purchase it. I'm glad that I waited.
