Very good game! I get 35-50 FPS on Medium graphics settings. Loads extremely quick. My setup: Phenom X4 2.6GHZ 4GB DDR2 RAM 9800 GT 1GB 350w PSU 1920x1080 resolution 640 GB HDD

Excellent gameplay; fast loading on good PCs; mods available; most DLC available a month after Xbox; endless gameplay; good storylines

Some plots become repetitive; too many caves

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim excelled at providing a vast array of different environments to explore. The role-playing game's first downloadable add-on, Dawnguard, ups the ante. One of this mini-expansion's greatest joys is its new areas.

Excellent new areas to explore; A number of great individual moments; Being a vampire lord can feel gleefully evil

Being a vampire lord can also be a headache; Too many bugs

Skyrim? It's an odd name with which we've been grappling for a while – the game tends to settle on ‘Sky-rm' as its pronunciation. It's an area in north Tamriel, where Nords live in frozen highlands, oppressed by the same Empire you spent all that time preserving in Oblivion some 200 game-years...

Awesome game! hours and hours into it, still loving it. Plays using STEAM but that too is a nice things since if I lose my disk, I can re-download it.

Wife says I love it

Wife always right

The Nordic world of Skyrim offers a staggering cache of content, remarkable storytelling and wholly compelling encounters.

A massive and consistent game world that always rewards exploration, usually in unlikely ways; Massive body of lore underpins the game world; Intuitive skill system; Dragon AI makes encounters dynamic; Spectacular visual splendour; Clean interface; Incredible soundtrack

Not enough voice actors; Some early choppiness

Absolutely love the game, the massive environment to explore and the challenges. Moves nicely on from Oblivion. But their are some downsides. The graphics, by current PC standards, are poor.

Time for the first review of 2012 and what a way to start it with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Ever since it was announced this game has had so much pressure to come out on top. Being the sequel to the amazing The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which is still in itself a brilliant game – despite being...

The latest entry in the Elder Scrolls saga brings players back to the world of Tamriel, visiting the frozen wastes of its dangerous northern regions. Unfortunately, the winter wonderland is having a bit of a problem with dragons lately.

The biggest advantage for snagging Skyrim on PC over the other platforms is the ability to play the game in 3D. Skyrim is different than a lot of the other 3D games out there though, in that there is not a lot things jumping off the screen at you.

Skyrim is torn by civil war: A weakened Empire struggles to retain control of the province, while rebel Nords vie for self-determination. Dragons have returned after centuries, and nobody knows why. Undead infest the crypts, cairns, and barrows, and more dangerous things haunt deep Dwarven ruins.

Vast, content-filled world; hundreds of hours of stuff to do; good leveling system, fun combat, compelling story

Occasionally buggy; not the most graphically intense game ever
