January 31, 2012Erik Kain

‘s epic role-playing-game ‘Skyrim’ is perhaps the greatest RPG ever made. ‘s Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the follow-up to its trailblazing Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, is quite possibly the greatest role-playing video game ever made. It sits head and shoulders above its predecessor in just about every conceivable metric. Skyrim is an open world of changing environments, […]

January 22, 2012Erik Kain

These days parents play video games along with their kids. This is a great opportunity for parents and kids to keep communication open. This piece by John Cheese is a bit dated – 2010 is like decades ago in the world of gaming – but it’s still a timeless meditation on how those of use […]

The Elder Scrolls Skyrim with the Dovahkids

December 2, 2011Erik Kain

This is what Skyrim would be if it were made into an 80′s cartoon. (via The Mary Sue) I so badly want this to be a real show: But wait, there’s more… This is what Skyrim would be if it was put into the time-slot between Family Guy and American Dad. You can follow me […]

The Strange, Frustrating Mess that is ‘Skyrim’ (PC)

November 16, 2011Erik Kain

I haven’t had nearly enough time to wander about ‘s Skyrim, the latest in its Elder Scrolls franchise, but I played long enough to get really frustrated by how badly the game’s developers botched the game underneath its lovely graphical hood.
