The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Skyrim is the latest addition to the Elder Scrolls series, easily surpassing the others in graphics. Let's weigh the pros and the cons. Pros: It has a long, immersive storyline, many side quests, even an infinite side quest system designed to continue your play through even after you finish all of the guilds and the main storyline. Combat is smooth (most of the time), and animations make you feel like you're there. Cons: The infinite side quest system makes it seem like you are never done, which, in my opinion, gets really annoying. I feel satisfied only if I'm done, and that will never happen in Skyrim. Essentially, you never finish the game. Also, the combat may feel a bit choppy at times, though that doesn't affect gameplay very much. The character movements are very well animated, though sometimes you see the occasional broom-up-ass figure walking along, which is, unfortunately, quite noticeable. Over all, it is a great game for RPG lovers such as my self who may also want the thrill of the kill to go along with it.
