Skyrim gets good reviews and “reaches new heights of adventure”

The past couple of weeks have been full of exciting game releases with Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty hitting the shelves. Call of Duty blew past game sale records away, raking in over $400 million in the UK and North America in the first 24 hours, selling 6.5 million games. Battlefield 3 sold only 5 million in the first week, making it quite a competitive on the shelves.

But there’s something new being thrown in the mix, Elder Scrolls’ latest: Skyrim. Gamers, expect minimal hours of sleep while you’re busy slaying dragons and “foil[ing] the nefarious plots of vampires, evil mages, and demon gods.”

Lou Kelstenwrites, game enthusiast and game review blogger writes that he is obsessed with the game, so much so that it has “taken over [his] life.”

“It doesn’t look promising at first. You are a mysterious prisoner being led to your death. As you rest you head under the executioner’s blade, though, a dragon arrives and starts belching fire—giving you a chance to escape.”

The stunning visuals in Skyrim make for a fantastic adventure through the artistically beautiful plains, mountaintops, and nature’s aurora borealis. After you create your custom character and complete various quests that are granted with even more freedom than previous titles, as you take on the world of enchanting lore and secrets waiting to be discovered.
