Got my copy of Skyrim back after like 6 months. I am excite.

I still think Skyrim is awesome, one of the best RPGs ever made... there's been a couple cool DLC thingies too lately...

Been a good week or two for new games hey... new Metal Gear, new Crysis, new Tomb Raider... all cool!

I got another Angry Joe review to post, his review for Metal Gear, it's hilarious... dude cracks me up.

Believe it or not but I still haven't played Skyrim. I wanted to wait until my PC was upgraded so I could run it on max graphics, but I might just lump it buy it for the Xbox or PS3.

I think it's pretty safe to say that if you like the RPG genre in any way you'll probably like Skyrim a lot. It's top notch. I've never actually played it myself but I've watched dozens and dozens of hours of it on YouTube and it's really interesting, really great graphics and gameplay and quests etc, I've had tons of fun spectating.

[space6oy]

i'm an elder scrolls junkie and aside from the graphics wouldn't say it's been my favorite of the lot. morrowind was freaking groundbreaking for me and i think overall i enjoyed oblivion the most, for some reason or other...

i would totally play morrowind again if they'd rerelease it with its followers' fast travel...

[Ryan]

I've been meaning to check out both those games, Morrowind and Obvlivion.. Skyrim is my first voyage to that realm.

[space6oy]

it might suck working backwards through them... morrowind was very primitive in comparison, especially getting from one point to another that's far away on the map. know a couple missions took trekking back and forth for what felt like freaking years. i hadn't gotten back into video games like i was when i was young until a game junkie friend / roommate introduced me to morrowind. i vaguely remember us fighting over time w/ his xbox after that...

[Ryan]

Nah, I watch a lot of primitive games.. one of my favourite genres is the old dungeon crawling style of RPG where you move square by square, up down left right, I'm ok with primitive. I dig all styles of games through the years, always cool and interesting!

Can your next pedal be "The Realm".

There needs to be more realms outside of fantasy stuff. It's a good word.

[Ryan]

Greigy, do you mean Realm of the Mag God or The Lucid Realm? I couldn't find a walkthrough for a game called just 'the Realm'...

I've been having a hard time naming my new digital distortion pedal and The Realm is now at the top of the list. *yoink!*

So is everybody busy playing Bioshock Infinite this weekend? It's pretty cool... not really great to watch as it's too FPSy and basically just sounds like nonstop machine gun shooting but I dig the artwork and premise.

Starcraft 2? Lego City Undercover? Gears of War? God of War? Lots of new games lately! The new God of War is really cool looking, awesome backgrounds and boss fights, I'd say that's the one I think is coolest, as a viewer at least.

I don't think I mean any video game. To be honest, I'm not sure how this comment ended up in this thread. Probably a quirk of the ILF space-time continuum.

I've been playing Skyrim like a fiend. Glad to have it back. May try and be a huge dork and get all the achievements.

I really want to check out Bioshock Infinite, but I never played the second one.

[space6oy]

bioshock infinite's gonna be my next. even though i have a copy of red faction armageddon laying around waiting for me...
i just caught earlier today another skyrim expansion being available and on sale...

[AngryGoldfish]

I've heard a few dozen people say Bioshock Infinite is a new favourite game of all time.
