The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Xbox 360!

Hey guys, Lawrence here once more. So I've been really busy recently, my friend Ari has been staying with me for a few days so I haven't done much in the way of gaming, but totally worth it to see my friend. But now I'm alone again and decided to progress a little further in my Skyrim file. So heres my review, hope you guys enjoy.

Skyrim.









Uhm don't know why there is this huge gap between the image and this text? What the fuck Blogger? But anyway, Skyrim is an open world based role playing game, not unlike games like Grand Theft Auto and Fallout, and I believe is set 200 years after the previous Elder scrolls games (I think there are 4 before this).
As I just wrote Skyrim is an open world game, which is totally bad ass, its a world filled with challenges, interesting people, strange creatures and a whole lot of cool shit to find! Not only is it a fun game to play, and I don't really rate a game based on its graphics, but Skyrim's graphics are pretty good, which for an open world role playing game does make it a lot more enjoyable. although getting up rocks and mountains is difficult, I suggest jumping side to side to weave up the rock or mountain, it usually works for me.

The game is set in the continent of Tamriel, where you are in the northern realm, Skyrim. Which is populated by mostly Nords. This game focusses a lot more around dragons, more so than the previous games anyway, you can slay them and get some pretty valuable remains, and eventually tame a dragon. Very fun.

So to be honest guys, I really prefer the side missions of this game, the main storyline to this game is really just "same shit different time period!?" but the side missions is fun, I particularly enjoy the Dark Brotherhood missions, why? A "little girl" named Babette.

Babette.
Although Babette may look like a sweet little 10 year old girl, but she is not she's a 300 year old vampire who works as an assassin for the Dark Brotherhood. Here's her lure...

"I'm just a little girl! The Dark Brotherhood killed my mama and papa, and then they took me captive! Please, please help me! Rather convincing, don't you think? In truth, I'm no more a little girl than you are. I was once, of course. Three hundred years ago. Vampirism tends to keep one remarkably... fresh."

Seriously thought I'd have to play the whole game again just to find that quote, but fortunately she repeats it.

But yeah, she's cool! Anyway I'm going to go to sleep because it is 1:29am and I need to be up at 6:30am, so sorry for the shitty short review, I'll try get better with that.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, is going to get a 4/10 rating from me. I do like the game but i just found the side missions more stimulating, where I didn't in Fallout 3 (and the gameplay in these two games is very similar). So give it a go guys. Become a Nord today. Bye!
