Skyblivion The folks doing impressive work over atThe Elder Scrolls Renewal Projectaren’t merely bringing the content ofMorrowindintoSkyrimwithSkywind— they’re also givingOblivion(and its DLC) the same treatment with a project called Skyblivion. It may be a silly name, but it’s memorable! The mod isn’t far enough along in production to go public yet, hence this teaser trailer. According to its organizers, separate TESRenewal teams are making Skyblivion and Skywind, so development on the latter project, which is much further along, won’t be affected....

The above trailer will serenade you with rock music as it shows you the various functions of the game, from online play, to in-game messaging, to the wide variety of characters you’re able to create....

Finally, a good month for titles, even if I wasn’t too keen on howLife is Strangeended. That final chapter was pretty bad. As for the other systems, I’m not sure I’ve actually heard of any of these. I know ofWRCfrom past titles, butWRC 5wasn’t supposed to be that good....

Traditionally, when studios refuse to screen films for critics it’s because they’re unsure how critics will react. Or perhaps they’re too sure, knowing that the film is a stinker, or that it falls into a genre of films that are usually panned....
