Skyrim will be my 2011 Game of The Year. I’m 100% sure of it. OK, that’s maybe a bit much, a little bit in advance too, but seriously, EVERYTHING I’ve been reading about that game looks awesome. I played close to 200 hours of Oblivion on the Xbox and that for me was such a great game… Revolutionary in so many ways, Oblivion became a benchmark for any RPG games ever since.

From what I’ve been reading, I can see that Skyrim will probably become something in those lines too. People already put in like 350 hours and they basically stopped counting… with a ton of dungeons left to visit, more than half of the HUGE WORLD to explore, etc… So that’s what, a 5-600-hour game, if you complete it at 100%? For console gaming, that is insane.

First of all, you can play any type of character and do whatever you want. The story will change dramatically depending on your “behavior” in the game. Hundred of weapons, spells and abilities, possibility of combining spells… A total new game engine for awesome graphics will bring an ENTIRE world to life… No more impossible places to go… All the areas will be open to explore. Dragons baby, DRAGONS and really HUGE ones… As Dragonborn, learn their secrets and harness their power for yourself.

Just that list is making me so anxious to play, it’s driving me nuts that I’m gonna have to wait 11-11-11 to play it. Already started collecting awards for their release; won two Game Critics Awards (Best RPG and Best Console Game).

What if this game is really bad you say? Will my life be over? Well, I will certainly be ALOT disappointed if this games doesn’t live up the hype… But the good thing about that late 2011 release is that, there’s a TON of games coming out starting in October. So, I’ll probably be busy on the other ones… But I would rather put ALL the other games on the shelf for next summer’s down time and play Skyrim from November to July.
