Abstract: The game places you in humble beginnings. You are, to no surprise for people familiar with the Elder Scrolls series, a prisoner when the game begins. Events unfold, a dragon tries to eat you, and suddenly you are a prisoner no more. This is where pla...
Yet overall, Skyrim does deliver a profound experience. The main storyline is interesting enough to make you want to see it through to the end, and the sometimes random encounters you will have with dragons will keep things exciting and bursting out o...
A revamped leveling system allows for more streamlined play, The graphics are out of this world for an Elder Scrolls game, and for any game of this type, The narrative is top of the line, and easily puts this in my GotY list

Abstract: As incredible as The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was in 2006, it hasn't aged well. While it's still capable of hooking players into tens of hours of questing, it looks terrible, it crashes periodically, its load times are excruciating, and its combat is...

Incredible amount of content; world feels alive; more than enough improvements to the Bethesda RPG formula; engaging quests; great new leveling and combat system; did we mention the content?
Interface is gamepad friendly; does little to take advantage of the PC platform besides the improved visuals; companions are still dumb as a bag of rocks.
It's great to hear that Skyrim has lived up to all of its potential and more. Personally, I can't wait for the mod community to get their hands on the game and start crafting out even more content. This is a great time to be a PC gamer for sure...

Abstract: The province of Skyrim might be frigid, but the role-playing game that takes place within it burns with a fire few games possess. In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you take up arms against dragons, and your encounters with them are invariably exciting--...
It's difficult to ever feel completely satisfied with a play session of Skyrim. There's always one more pressing quest, one more unexplored tract of land, one more skill to increase, one more butterfly to catch. It's a mesmerizing game that draws you i...
