Skyrim has had plenty of time to gather awards and circulate the market. You must be aware of this game by now, even if it's only because your kid or friend won't shut the hell up about it. The newest instalment of the Elder Scrolls series has really come a long way since its predecessor, Oblivion. I'd say it's money well spent, after already sinking an unhealthy amount of time into the game myself.

You can purchase a copy on virtually any platform, and if you enjoy playing it will kill your time faster than the internet can kill your faith in humanity. Which is exactly why I believe Skyrim is a brilliant game- even if it means siding with all the mainstream hipsters out there.

Welcome back to wandering around instead of killing stuff.
