Happy New Year Everybody! It has already been 9 days into 2012 and this is actually my first post of the year! So what happened? Yes, I used to blog more until I got an arrow in my knee. If you have yet to read this meme - Where the hell have you been? If you have been seeing this meme but no clue what is happening, I am going to share with you. This meme happened thanks to our 2011 game of the year - Skyrim. So many of their NPC will just tell you random things like " I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee."



True Story.

Anyway, so yup. I got wrapped into Skyrim too, thus I blog a little less. In fact I am half way in my game while I am typing this post. So what is Skyrim about? It is like a mmorpg but you do not get the MMO part. Just another RPG? It's an open map RPG which means you have a choice of you own legacy, there are certain quest that are not needed and there are random people you can just slash and yes dragons too. So if you are familiar with other games, I would say that this is pretty much like GTA set in a different universe and you try to kill dragons instead of helicopters.

Anyway an interesting review from gamespot.



And yes, it is the 5th installment of the elder scrolls. So what about the other games before this? Check out the bluffer's guide!



If you ask me what is so fun about this is that the story is actually very interactive and you just wish to seek the answer to each stories and on top of that it is not difficult to play at all. Each quest is being monitor with the help of journals and maps so even though you have 809670512893124 quest to do it ain't that difficult to keep track. And the irritating part about this game? Traveling around from mountains to another is really a pain? You hardly know which way leads to which mountain at times! And like mentioned in one of the review videos, your AI partner can be very much an idiot at times. almost all the time.

On top of these points, the lack of online version of this game is both a plus point as well as a minus for me. I love the fact that I could play anytime I wish without finding irritating online players or the need to find friends to complete certain quest, but that being said it also means that we are not able to trade items or complete quests together. Overall this game is really an addiction and I read that there are people who spent like 300hrs on a single character? WTF?

I suggest you pick up this game if you are a gamer. It's on Xbox360, PS3 and even PC. It ain't the game of the year for nothing!

Mr.Smith, OUCH~ MY KNEE~
