I can’t help myself; this game cannot fart online without me hearing about it or wanting to smell it. Eeew. Gross analogies aside, a Dutch magazine, called Power Unlimited, has a four page spread on The Elder Scrolls V. That article has a load of new information, which is a refreshing change from Game Informer’s apparent monopoly on Skyrim details. …
When we’re all running around slaying dragons in The Elder Scrolls V, we’ll be doing it as very different characters. That’s the case with most RPGs: your character will be very different to mine. In Skyrim, however, all characters will share a common ability: the Dragon Shout. Game Informer (who seems to have taken up residence in Bethesda’s studios) has …
The following video gives us a glimpse of a screenshot paint-over which becomes a piece of concept art for Skyrim. The piece of art is of a cave troll, which looks a heck of a lot meaner than they did in Oblivion. Ordinarily, concept art is developed before the game gets coded and the art assets created. What Bethesda does …
Game Informer has a two page article on some of the tech underneath Skyrim’s hood. It’s a good read, but for the impatient amongst you, here are the best bits. Previous Bethesda games like Oblivion and Fallout 3 were excellent titles that many people were able to get completely immersed in. However, there were limitations, which meant that that immersion …
Game Informer magazine has run a feature article which debuts gameplay details and screen shots for the latest in the Elder Scrolls series: Skyrim.

Literally ten minutes before I found this information, I was moaning in the comments section of Nick’s news piece on Skyrim’s announcement. Clearly my Google-fu is a little slow this morning. I’m not sure which I’m more excited about: the fact that we’re getting a new Elder Scrolls game, or the fact that it’s built on a brand new graphics …
We say “finally” because this was actually announced three years ago at the 2007 QuakeCon. Bethesda Softworks (who bought id a while ago, remember?) have confirmed that Xbox 360 gamers will be able to get their nostalgic frag on come 15 December 2010. Quake Arena Arcade is the Xbox Live Arcade port of id’s monumentally successful Quake III Arena which …
That’s if reports on Eurogamer are to be believed. Personally, I’ve been foaming at the mouth for a new Elder Scrolls game so I’m going to believe the hell out of this. Please, don’t make me think otherwise, I just don’t think my psyche could deal with that after four years of waiting. Eurogamer’s Denmark site was the first to drop …
Nashville is a city powered by raw emotion, relentless ambition, and the constant hum …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves! The only thing more frightening, is a glimpse at your empty bank account when it comes to deciding whether or not you can grab Resident Evil Village this month.
