Technical issues could ruin moments for some players
It's too easy to go into "sneak" mode when backing up with the control stick
Long load times in the Xbox 360 version (sadly
We don't know if this applies to the PS3 or PC version). Bethesda sent GamePro the Xbox 360 version of The Elder Scrolls V
Skyrim. I admit that I was not looking forward to playing this on a console for review

Glitches and bugs frequently disrupt the immersion
Friendly AI is often more of a hindrance than a help.
Abstract: Oblivion was the game that pushed me over the edge on getting an Xbox 360 back in 2006. I poured well over a hundred hours in to that game, earned every non-DLC achievement, balked at horse armor, and had many an adventure exploring that grand world. S...
Abstract: I didn't think it was actually possible. Aaron wrote about the crippling nature of choice in his review of Mass Effect 2 -- the thought that one wrong choice could possibly lead to a horrible result -- but that seemed wholly connected to c...
Abstract: Yes. Taking place about 200 years after the events of Oblivion, players are now thrust into the lands of Skyrim. On the verge of meeting their doom, players soon find out that Dragons are no longer just beasts of myth, and the player isn't just anothe...
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...
Abstract: Preparing for a new Elder Scrolls game is like preparing to die. One must ensure they get all their worldly affairs in order, speak with the people who mean everything to them, and have a final meal. After all, once that disc goes in, the user may as...
Abstract: There are various experiences one can have while playing a game these days. You can be told an engrossing story. You can experience a roller-coaster ride of summer blockbuster proportions. You can kill hours with your friends in all-out online war. Sky...
Abstract: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Review1 2 Because we at VideoGamer.com care about our audience, we'd like to offer anyone planning to play Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim a couple of pieces of advice. First off, if you have any long term commitments like say, a jo...

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--...
Abstract: If you can only purchase one game this holiday season then make that game, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Admittedly, it will help if you enjoy deep and immersive gameplay and a story so vast it will consume you for several months to come, and it will al...
