The Elder Scrolls Online Details Leak - Should Fans Be Excited?
The Elder Scrolls Online, long rumored to be in development, was officially announced yesterday. Still in development at Zenimax Online Studios, this MMO aims to combine traditional genre mechanics with the spirit and sensibilities, not to mention setting and lore, of the immensely popular series of single-player RPGs. Though the game is set for a full unveiling in the next issue of Game Informer magazine, what appears to be the entire cover story article has been leaked to the interwebs already. In today's article, you'll find summary and analysis of all the alleged details, as well as feast your eyes on the very first screenshots and concept art from the game. Of course, the burning question now is, should you be excited?

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim PC Review
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is Bethesda Softworks’ latest offering in their series of epic fantasy RPGs, as well as one of the most highly-anticipated PC titles of 2011. As the Dovahkiin, or Dragonborn, prepare to take the fight to the mythical beasts that have returned to the realm after centuries of slumber, all the while exploring a huge and highly-detailed open world.
The PC version of the game promises enhanced graphical fidelity, standard RPG trimmings such as hotkeys and quick-save, as well as unbridled mod support, something we’ll all be thankful for once they release that SDK. Skyrim has already sold millions of copies and set records for play-time on Steam... Find out why in today's review, which happens to be one of the biggest and most in-depth articles on the subject out there!

Mount & Blade - With Fire & Sword Review
Ever wondered what it would be like to be a soldier on the front lines of battle in medieval Europe? Since we still don't have time machines or flying cars to distract us from the fact that we still don't have time machines, here's the next best thing: the Mount & Blade series of action-RPGs. With Fire & Sword is the latest standalone expansion in this indie franchise, introducing primitive firearms, fully customizable armies, a much deeper simulated economy, and more. Find out whether or not it's worth playing in today's review!
As a bonus for FiringSquad's readers, Paradox Interactive was nice enough to provide a handful of codes redeemable for a free copy of Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword on Steam. So, if you want one, read through the article and tell us what about this game makes you interested in playing it. If you're a fan of previous M&B; games, be sure to share your experiences with them and explain why you can't wait to try this new release. Five (5) lucky people who comment will receive a key in their email sometime this week.

Two Worlds 2 PC Review

Grand Theft Auto Episodes from Liberty City Review
Rockstar's standalone expansion to GTA: IV, Episodes from Liberty City, includes the DLC that was released for console gamers last year, namely, The Lost and the Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony.
