The next chapter in the highly anticipated Elder Scrolls saga arrives from the makers of the 2006 and 2008 Games of the Year, Bethesda Game Studios. Skyrim reimagines and revolutionizes the open-world fantasy epic, bringing to life a complete virtual world open for you to explore any way you choose.

The Empire of Tamriel is on the edge. The High King of Skyrim has been murdered. Alliances form as claims to the throne are made. In the midst of this conflict, a far more dangerous, ancient evil is awakened. Dragons, long lost to the passages of the Elder Scrolls, have returned to Tamriel. The future of Skyrim, even the Empire itself, hangs in the balance as they wait for the prophesized Dragonborn to come; a hero born with the power of The Voice, and the only one who can stand amongst the dragons.

	Come on fella's, For those who are complaining, quit moaning about the time being taken to do the free [as in . . . FREE !] guide, would you rather they sent out a guide within a week of the games release riddled with inaccuracies or one that is up to their usual high standard that takes some time to compile ?! [also for you that are moaning, are you or will you donate some cash ?] Give them a chance, Skyrim is a massive game, I'm even waiting to play so that I can use their guide & not miss a trick ! Keep up the good work Gamepressure, Jeubond	Jeubond 14/03/2012 12:45
