The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, "Dragonborn" DLC Announced!

-

Bethesda just released news on the upcoming "Dragonborn" DLC for Skyrim. The new story takes place in the North-Eastern island, Solthseim which is said to be the origin of the first dragonborn.
A dragon priest as we know them, servants of the first dragons.
"You didn't think that you were the only one. He was the first. Dragonborn."

The first dragonborn, called "The Dragonbeast" was a dragon priest, but unlike the others he didn't serve the dragons, he devoured them.
Approaching Solthseim
When i first saw the landscape of Solthseim, i couldn't help but think of Morrowind, and i'm sure many, Elder Scrolls fans will too, with the brown earthly colour gradient.

The combat system have also got a minor upgrade, as we can see here there is a lot of new armor

And lot of new enemies. Here we see some kind of undead. Perhaps some meatier Draugr.

And here we have the Goblin like creatures. There are a couple of cool things about this picture. Firstly we get a sence of the art style of this DLC. The players weapon and shield, as well as the Goblin armor looks very rough, and utilitarian. Secondly the Goblin on the Hog is the first mounted enemy the game has so far. But thirdly, which is perhaps the coolest upgrade, is spears! It was hinted at from the leaked source code, that spears would make it into the game, and it looks like it!

But the most important update that we have seen so far, is the rideable dragons. Perhaps there are different kinds of dragon mounts to be tamed, since there was another rounder, dark purple dragon in the video that the player climbed unto.

The DLC will be out on Xbox 360 December 4th, no date for PC and PS3 was mentioned.

The Norway mass murderer used Modern Warfare 3 as "training"

The right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik's 1.500 pages long manifesto, is currently being read by law-enforcements. In it he mentiones his passion for video games in it he writes            "I just bought Modern Warfare 2 , the game. It is probably the best military simulator               out there and it's one of the hottest games this year. I see MW2 more as a part of my               training-simulation than anything else. I've still learned to love it though and especially               the multiplayer part is amazing. You can more or less completely simulate actual               operations."  He used other games such as wow as a cover up for why he had been isolated for such a long time, and didn't answer the phone

Crysis 2 Early Multiplayer Review

The Crysis 2 Multiplayer demo just hit Xbox live and i have been playing since By: Frederik Being a fairly large fan of Crysis 1 and Warhead, i was expecting this to be great, and so far it is! This game is like Black Ops on steroids, that mated with the POV camera from Mirrors Edge! The phase is so fast and action packed i don't even know why they added a sniper class, if you sprint and press the crouch button you will slide forward, allowing you to get some extremely cool kills. Or if you find yourself in mid air, press that magic crouch button once again and you will speed towards the ground, and pound the living hell out of the earth beneath you with your scientifically empowered fist. The Air Stamp Crytek does a very good job making you feel like your the only person who's got a nano suit, by making your teammates shout things like "Help! I'm in trouble!" or "Oh God!" this gives the impression that they are all helpless soldiers a...
