Skyrim is a popular game. Since its release last friday, it's been the title to play and mostly everyone is talking about it. It shouldn't be a surprise then to hear that the game has sold big. Real big.
However, it'll have to fix its problems first.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released today for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. If you aren't sure which version to get, maybe this will help: Skyrim's first two DLC packs will be timed exclusives to the Xbox 360. Gamers will get them on the 360 a month before they're released on the PC and PS3.
A beginners guide to the realm of Skyrim.
Skyrim is shaping up to be one of the bigger blockbuster titles this holiday season. For many it will be the first time they’ve delved into a series so rich with history. Jumping in at this point can be a daunting task, but you don’t have to march into the breach without being prepared, as we’ve created the PixlBit Skyrim Primer – a beginner’s guide of sorts that should help to inform the neophyte Elder Scrolls player on what to expect.
Remember when entering your initials meant something? PixelJunk does.
Sometimes the old gaming soul just wants something simple that harks back to a time now past. A time when gamers walked through dimly lit arcades, token stuffed pockets jingling and jangling like boot spurs; electric cowboys scrawling their initials into the annals of history one high score at a time. It was a magical time and someone out there must feel the same way because otherwise we wouldn’t have PixelJunk: Sidescroller -- a shooter made for the old school but a game that most will be able to enjoy.

Mojang’s upcoming game Scrolls has been in the gaming news quite a bit lately. Most recently the Minecraft creator won an interim injunction against ZeniMax and Bethesda concerning rights to the name Scrolls. While the legal battle is likely far from over, this little victory is an important one as Mojang can now more freely market and talk about the game. Perhaps he'll even tell us a little more about this Alpha signup that just went up.
If Skyrim were a movie, this is what it would look like. Skyrim hits stores November 11, 2011 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
Does Treasure's beat 'em up still have its edge?
When the 32 bit wars began, I was firmly entrenched in the Sony PlayStation camp. I believed then, as I do now, that the overall library of games on the PSX was far superior to that of the Sega Saturn. That shouldn’t imply, however, that there weren’t games on the Saturn that could make even the staunchest PlayStation supporter green with envy. The Saturn was capable of pumping out impressive sets of 2D sprites, and in this the PlayStation was a distant second. Games like Astal, X-Men vs. Street Fighter, and Albert Odyssey made me desperately want the beefy Sega console, and as soon as I was able to, I plunked down my hard-earned cash for a Saturn. The main reason for this purchase was, of course, Guardian Heroes. I had missed out on many of Treasure’s other games, since I had also sided against Sega in the 16 bit days. Even so, I knew just what kinds of incredible things the quirky Japanese developer was doing with animation and sprite work, and for me, Guardian Heroes was a system seller. Now, 15 years later, Guardian Heroes returns for XBLA with an HD upgrade. Does the game hold up after all these years, and is it worth the 800 MS point asking price? Read on, brave warriors, read on.
