Skyrim, the fifth game in the Elder Scrolls series, takes place in Skyrim 200 years after the Oblivion Crisis. A newly revealed language, the "tongue of the dragons", plays an integral role in the story.
The ancient home of the Nords, Skyrim, teeters at the brink of destruction. With the death of High King Torygg, the flood gates of civil war break loose, and brothers are slaying brothers across the frozen tundras and rocky crags. Many Nords wish to free themselves of the Empires grasp, which has been in decline since the Oblivion Crisis 200 years previous. Many others want to grasp upon the unity and safety offered by the Empire. A great prophecy has been foretold in the Elder Scrolls; one that foretells the return of Tamriels primeval darkness, the Dragons. The scrolls also tell of the coming of a mortal born with the soul of a dragon, the "Dovahkiin" or Dragonborn. One who will have the power to permanently defeat his greatest foe and end the dark reign of the consumer of worlds: Alduin.
Your journey will be full of many perils. Just as remnants of the kingdoms shadow guardians, the Blades, will offer their aid, crafty agents of the Thalmor seeking to advance their own cause will impede your quest. Find knowledge and prove yourself, Dragonborn and even the revered Greybeards will allow an audience to learn of their ancient Draconic arts.
Now great adventurer, free yourself from bondage; take up blade or spell, bow or axe; fulfill your destiny or watch as the world ends around you.

The graphic's in this game are so wonderful and amazing, once you play this game almost every other game will look so horrid, They are running a new graphics engine for this Elder Scroll Game, and it paid off big time!

For me personally i got the game for Christmas and i kept waiting all break to play, and i finally put the game in a week after that Friday... I stayed up Friday, Saturday, and Sunday slept Monday and played again all day that Tuesday. It was that good, and remember this is my first Elder Scroll Game. I can't even Imagine i veteran!

The game play so fun and cool the map you have in game is interactive, the season change you have a huge gaming environment, and the missions are amazing, There has to be about a good 30-40 Main Quest, plus 100's yes 100's of side missions, and From what iv been told they added allot, You can upgrade almost anything Take either the Storm Cloaks or the Imperial Army, or run around and have fun there's so much from arrons to buying houses, to riding horses, fighting dragons, mining endless fun!

And Mission Wise are so intense and fun its insane every mission has a challenge for said mission and Level its a really neat concept!

The control's aren't very much to talk about there like any other MMO or Rpg. When you get the Game look at the instruction manual just like any-other game if you need help with controls, But i do like the way they are setup they "flow" nicely in my opinion.

Story

This was one of the first games out when Kinect had hit the shelves, This new game features a compilation of 6 sports that are broken down into a variety of separate challenges. A massive down blow to this is it does fail to deliver the accurate sensitivity of previous Kinect game, the motion tracking is very poor. The competition heats up as you take on your friends in head-to-head challenges to decide who the ultimate athlete is. But if it's your first time playing you won't have a chance as there are no tutorials for your first time this is a big blow for new comers to this type of game. In MotionSports, your movements are tracked onto your in-game player. By moving around and using yourself as the controller, which is the same as previous Kinect games. As I previously said the motion is poor, There were numerous occasions in which I would jump but nothing would happen.

Graphics

Mehh.. It's a bad motionless kinect game, the graphics match this too. People look matte plastic and fake. The sweat on boxing looks like rain on the screen and doesn't look like sweat. The graphics have really let me down here, even though it's a kinect game but really isn't work it. I tested this on HD 1080p and AV 480p now on 480p it was like playing 8 but mario it was utterly disgusting but in 1080p it was good but still poor. I feel really let down here. Lack of memorable music. Announcer has energy, but his lines repeat often and occasionally play at the wrong time.

Controls

You are the controller in all kinect game, it will be a struggle in this as the motion sensors is like controlling a blind person which a beatboxer. The motion is very very bad like I have said in the story section. A big let down here too.

Overall

The graphics are bad, the motion control poor, the sound effects are unusual. I would advise not getting this game this may be a family game not a critic game but it really is bad in my opinion. Avoid buying it. Not a worthwhile investment. Buy Kinect Sports instead.

Overlook:

SWTOR has a character specific story-line, meaning depending on what class you choose to play as you will complete other missions specific to that character. Each class has an amazing story-line that any star wars fan will connect to immediately and feel in a familiar setting. I won't go into much detail to avoid spoilers but there is no real tutorial once you start off the game but rather some tips to guide you in the right path. With any RPG/MMO there is many other side tasks to complete and some nice PvP settings to compete in.

SWTOR has pretty basic controller settings like most PC games using WASD to move and other game specific keys to accomplish other tasks. For a full look at the controls go [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . Within each side of the force (Republic and Empire) are classes and each class has a few sub-categories to choose from for further customization. Aside from your class, your character itself can be devised of one of the following species: Chiss, Cyborg, Human, Miraluka, Mirialan, Rattataki, Twi'lek, Zabrak and Sith Pure-Blood. For each species per gender you can make up to 10 customizations.

Overall Rating:

9/10

Honestly such a great game and a world so easy to get lost in and lose hours of sleep playing. This is the game for any true Star Wars fan and any RPG player in-general. It is a must play in my opinion!
