    As for standard spells, they come in the usual schools of magicka: destruction (zap skeletons with sparks!), conjuration (summon a giant frost atronach!), alteration (light the way ahead!), and so on. You can even dual-wield spells, going full-on mage, with a glowing ball of fire in one hand and a summon at the ready in the other. For that matter, you can dual-wield one-handed weapons, giving you more flexibility in how you form your character. Read more

    • Immense world stuffed with varied tasks to perform, Dragon battles are a blast, Lovely art design capped by some beautiful, atmospheric touches, Enjoyable battles that...
    • Glitches and bugs frequently disrupt the immersion, Friendly AI is often more of a hindrance than a help.

    I don’t think I can stress just how much there is to do in Skyrim and with how much detail it is presented in. Sure there are a few bugs and potential exploits, but if you don’t like them, don’t use them. The bottom line is if you are after an extremely solid RPG to sink all of your Christmas holidays into, you will be hard pressed to find one more rewarding than Skyrim. Meaningless number! Read more

    • Outstanding visuals
    • Can get lost in the sea of quests and lose interest
