Hands on with Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Norm’s Journey
When I sat down to play my three hours of Skyrim, I was only told that I was about 45 minutes into the game, yet I will still get to check out the character creator. It was clear that Bethesda wanted me to talk a little about the creation process, so I will, but later. First I want to talk about playing a game on limited time.

Review: LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7
The Lego games have truly become an art. As with all art, it is becoming increasingly difficult to review the games, and so I think that instead of giving this game a traditional review, I am going to attempt to give it a critique.
Before I do so, let me first just say that the game is great, and if you liked the first one, there is no reason not to get the second to complete the collection. I just wish that there was some sort of connection between each game; a way to import data to tell the second game what you have accomplished in the previous game(s). Any other issues you can read about in my review of the first game, as they are essentially the same.
Review: Exotique 7
It’s that time of year again and Ballistic Publishing has compiled over 200 pages of some of the most beautiful CG character art from 223 artists across the globe to make up the annual art book, Exotique 7. This collection of gorgeous digital paintings features CG characters spanning several genres like sci-fi, fantasy, anime, and even some of the most photorealistic digital paintings I have ever seen.
Review: Ben 10 Galactic Racing
Ben 10 is a Cartoon Network television show that has been pretty popular for the last six years or so. The show has undergone a few changes as Ben Tennyson has grown older, spawning Ben 10 Alien Force and Ben 10 Ultimate Alien. Since the fall of 2007, the franchise has spawned several games across all current game systems.
However, Ben 10 Galactic Racing marks the first racing themed video game for the series. The game is a pretty straight forward kart racing game. The gameplay is very similar to Mario Kart, where the race to the finish line is about disabling your opponents using power ups and special attacks and coming in first place.
Review: Disney Universe
When you think of Disney, you think children, magic, and innovention. When it comes to video games, most of us don’t necessarily want to play games that are aimed at children. Heck, some gamers don’t want to play anything that is remotely cutesy. However, Disney Universe takes that child-like cuteness and wraps it up into a pretty fun and innovative game for gamers of all ages and skill level.
Review: The Sims 3 Pets
The Sims game was developed by Will Wright and the first game came out in 2000 for the PC. Two years later, The Sims was the best selling PC game in history. Several expansion packs and sequels have been released since. The Sims was ported to the PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube in 2003 allowing console gamers to join in on the action. The Sims 3 was released in 2010 for home consoles and now we have The Sims 3 Pets for the Xbox 360, PS3, and Nintendo 3DS. This also marks the fifth PC/MAC expansion in the Sims 3 series.
