Fus ro dah
With hundreds of hours already on offer, Bethesda has ruled out the possibility of any further The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim content. Writing on its official blog, the company revealed that it's leaving behind the snowy peaks of Hrothgar in favour of its (hopefully warmer) next big adventure.

First Impressions Taking Sides with Skyrim’s Dawnguard DLC
Bloody good
Consider Dawnguard’s arrival on PlayStation 3 a late Hallowe’en present from Bethesda. The latest The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim expansion is full of vampires, creepy rituals, spooky old castles, and a lot of violence. There’s also a lot of epic questing thrown in for good measure, too. Just like Dragonborn, there’s an awful lot...

First Impressions Make a House a Home with Skyrim's Hearthfire DLC
Sitting beside the furnace
Hearthfire isn’t quite what you’d expect from a piece of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim DLC.

In...

Back to the brink
After more than a year without DLC, the PlayStation 3 version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim finally gets some love from Bethesda.

News Is There a New Fallout Sequel on the Horizon?

News RAGE's Anger Reignites with New DLC Expansion
You remember RAGE, right?
We’re so used to post-release plans being perfectly calculated that the apparent addition of new RAGE DLC has left us a little confused.

News New Dishonored Trailer Comes Out of Hiding
The essence of invisibility
Stealth gameplay in Bethesda’s upcoming Dishonored promises to be a bit more engaging than simply studying guard patterns. Instead you’ll need to take into account sound, peripheral vision and cover.

News Skyrim's Dawnguard DLC "Unsatisfactory" on PS3
Long wait ahead

News Duo of Dishonored Demos Depict Different Player Decisions
Variety is the spice of life
While most games can explain the extent of their gameplay in a 60 second trailer, Bethesda’s upcoming Dishonored is a teensy bit more ambitious.
