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...
Abstract: With other Bethesda role-playing games I've often fallen into the trap of pursuing side quests to buff up my character and to help fill-out the universe in my own mind. What often happens then is that I suddenly have what feels like too many quests i...
Superb visuals, voice acting, soundtrack, Enormous, highly interactive game world, Provides almost limitless options for playing, replaying,
Some bugs, Quirky interfaces sometimes frustrating, No multiplayer mode,
Building on the advances of the previous games in the landmark Elder Scrolls series, the latest chapter, Skyrim, is the most detailed, immersive, and engrossing yet. ...

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...
Immense world stuffed with varied tasks to perform, Dragon battles are a blast, Lovely art design capped by some beautiful, atmospheric touches, Enjoyable battles that you can approach in a variety of ways, Lots of compelling, selfcontained stories to experience in addition to the main one.
Glitches and bugs frequently disrupt the immersion, Friendly AI is often more of a hindrance than a help.
