Skyrim, Around 30 Minutes of Gameplay - Dragons, Dungeons, World, UI, World Map!



There is a series of three videos that Bethesda has released showing off the awesome gameplay in Skyrim! The world is shown off in the first map; the world map is simply the entire world being rendered at once! So, instead of a paper-ish map, you'll seen the entire world rendered in real time! Then you just select your location and go there.





















As for the dungeon, it's a huge dungeon and they couldn't fit everything into the gameplay video, or it'd be too long; and this is only one of over 150 dungeons in the game! As for dragons, they're shown off in the final video; you also get to see dragon shouts, magic, giants, mammoths, etc.


Not even a troll could hate this game...

Skyrim, 15 Minute Interview



Here is an awesome interview I found with one of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's devs, Todd Howard. It has a lot of information, and it has German subtitles at the bottom, if you don't speak English and do happen to speak German...

Anyway, he speaks about the over 100 dungeons, half of which take 1 to 2 hours, the other half are about 15 minutes. He speaks about the more realistic NPCs and how they actually go places and truly do things, instead of just going places and sleeping or standing there. The world is as big as TESIV: Oblivion's Cyrodill, but the mountains make it so you have to travel further - because you can't just walk straight over a mountain, you'll have to walk twisting and turning paths.

Here it is:

Mortal Kombat - Released April 19,2011 - Screenshots



Here is a compilation of screenshots from the cool Mortal Kombat game simply titled Mortal Kombat; why did they choose that name, without a number or any other subtitle or anything? I don't know, and I don't care! Here are some screenshots:

Mass Effect 3, Trailer



Here is that trailer that was release not too long ago for Mass Effect 3 - I think that it looks super epic! This might contain some slight spoilers, if you haven't played Mass Effect or Mass Effect 2, yet. So, here is the awesome looking trailer!

I am looking forward to this game more than I've ever looked forward to a game, before! If this game isn't done right (like Dragon Age II...) then I'll be very upset, and probably never buy another Bioware game again. Mostly because of Dragon Age II's screwed up recycled content and graphical bugs... If ME3 is anything like that, I'm done with Bioware.

The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim - New Screenshots

The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim is coming on November 11, 2011 - or 11/11/11. Minecraft is also coming out on this same date; however, Minecraft is already able to be played during its whole beta stage, so there isn't much wonder surrounding that date. It's not going to change much, because things will still be added to Minecraft regularly, like during the beta.

Now, Skyrim has a few new screenshots that were released around the net, and I've compiled a few of them here:

Dual wielding with a mace and a magic fireball!




A screenshot of some beautiful mountains, littered with awesome looking trees, just above a lake. The graphics in this game are rendered in completely new ways; on PC, you'll be able to get the ultimate graphical experience, with the higher resolution textures - however, if your computer is old, you can still scale down the graphics settings to run the game.










This is a screenshot of this Dragonborn absorbing a dragon's essence; this is something that isn't explained very much, yet.












That's gotta hurt! The new kills look awesome in this game!

Art of Villiany?



GameSpot made an awesome story on the art of villiany, and how all the good villians seem to be long gone. They also talk about how that tragedy of a game, Dragon Age II, suffers from the lack of a great villian.

Mass Effect 2: Arrival DLC - REVIEW - 3.0/4.0

 


Mass Effect 2: Arrival is a DLC (Downloadable Content) package released about one year after Mass Effect 2 was released; this dlc is far from perfect but it's still kind of cool.

Pros:

  • It's more Mass Effect 2
  • Great cinematic feel like usual
  • Cool music
  • Fun gameplay
  • Amazing voice acting
  • Epic Storyline
  • Cheap
Cons:
  • Choices you make in this DLC do absolutely nothing to the outcome, other than a couple of dialogue changes.
  • Some of it seems rushed
  • It's a bit short
  • Some of the story seemed a little bit confusing, but mostly it's okay

In all, I really liked this DLC - even if it was short. It's definitely better than Dragon Age II... You can get Mass Effect 2 for free with Dragon Age II, until April 30th, according to Bioware.
