The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

"The box that The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind comes in boasts that the game has “Over 300 hours of gameplay”. I presume that the publisher Bethesda considers a 300 hour game to be a good thing, but all I think when I look at the box is I’m going to die in a few decades; I don’t have time for this. When you add in that Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion packs in a good 100 hours of content too, playing these games is like working a full-time job."

"There’s something about certain games that naturally draw me in. This is considerably easier with any sort of RPG that involves decisions and progression that allow you to influence not only your character, but the actual game itself. I’ve spent so much time with these games because I’m able to make the character my own, affect the environment, and play the game almost exactly how I want to play it."

In this week's edition of New Challenger, Default Prime columnist Chris Stewart felt compelled to complete this piece discussing game bugs and glitches after being assaulted by Dead Island's launch issues.

Daav from NoobFeed.com sees two of his favorite things come together with another great thing: promotions. The awesome GOG.com people that offer equally awesome oldschool games are running a week-long promo for troubled publisher JoWood. Check out how you can save up to 75% on these titles.

"Few finer examples of this have emerged in recent years than the latest in the Elder Scrolls series, Oblivion. And, as with any game with its salt, it taught us a little along the way."

"As we make our way through 2010, what better thing is there to do than to take a look back at the last ten years, browse over the RPGs released during that time and talk about them? Of those RPGs, which were the most notable? Which were the ones that set the scene for the decade and which of those should be forgotten?

No really, does anyone have any better ideas because we're all out of them.

For our purposes, we'll officially declare 1st January 2000 as the opening of this decade. Tech..."

"On this week's instalment of No Plans Watch: Bethesda's Todd Howard, speaking at QuakeCon 09 on the future of the Elder Scrolls series now that his company is officially done with Fallout 3.

Answering fan questions on the subject, Howard said that there are "no current plans" for a fifth game in the Elder Scrolls series."

""We are going to make an announcement on a really big Wii game this year, we've got a couple of other things in the pipeline, and it's a format we're really looking at with the right approach," revealed Sean Brennan, managing director for Bethesda in Europe, in an exclusive interview published today.

"I've got consoles at home but I wouldn't sit and play an 18-rated game with my family on the Wii," he said. "Is there space in the Wii market for that? I think there is, but again, it's all a..."

Books based on video games aren't new, so it's no wonder Bethesda is adding their Elder Scrolls franchise to that growing list. Make some extra money, please the fans, everybody's happy.

Some of you may be familiar with the writer Bethesda hired, too. Greg Keyes, that New York Times best-selling author responsible for several Star Wars novels of the New Jedi Order series, will be penning the two Elder Scrolls novels.

Metroid Prime, Kingdom Hearts and Super Mario Sunshine led the charge in 2002, the year that saw The Sims become the highest selling PC title of all time, Rare switch hands from Microsoft to Nintendo, and the launch of the first video game television network, G4.

Counting down the top games from 1990 straight up through 2008, Binge Gamer's James Walker takes a look at the best (and worst) games from the year of the GameCube, 2002.

Timeslip, not a name known to many unless you play Bethesda Softwork games like me and more specifically PC versions of each. After scurrying around the RSS feeds of the Beth Blog, a blog kept by Bethesda Softworks to, well ramble while keeping the public informed that they are actually working and that they are human beings like us, I had found this little gem which Beth Soft have been doing for awhile.
