Peep some new Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim footage and be happy
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is nearly here (along with like 200 other titles in November) and all of us here at GND can’t wait to stroll through the frosty North and slay dragons like a boss. And from all of the awesome comments from you guys, I can easily see we’re not alone. So as a way to make your Thursday that much nicer, here’s some new footage of the game in action.
Every single time Rocksteady releases a new Batman: Arkham City trailer I’m blown away at how good it looks. Batman: Arkham City releases next month on PS3 and Xbox 360 will surely be one of the better titles this Fall. I just hope it’s not overlooked.
Diablo III launching early 2012
This is such a Captain Obvious post, but here goes — Diablo III won’t be making a 2011 release. Not that many of you thought it was going to, I mean this is Blizzard after all. The good news is that Diablo III will be coming early 2012!
DC Universe Online goes Free 2 Play next month
Well that didn’t take long did it? SOE has announced that starting next month DC Universe Online is going Free 2 Play.
With that news I just went to Amazon and ordered myself a boxed copy of the PC version which will automagically make me a Premium account holder under the new price structure that’s all laid out after the break.

Diablo III rated by Australia Classification Board, everyone freak out!!!
Alright everyone, there are some that said this day would never come and I’m not counting my chickens till they’re hatched. That said, basically the ESRB for Australia just rated Diablo III. Even more OMG inducing is the small note of it being — hold on — multiplatform. Does this mean the game may actually make it out this year? If I were a betting man, and I’m not, I’d say… maybe?! There’s a reason why I don’t bet anymore, I lost a lot.
Who the hell really knows; this is Blizzard after all.

Torchlight II will be $20, coming this year
The first Torchlight was and still is a fantastic loot dungeon crawler, but it lacked one very important thing - the ability to play with your friends. Thankfully Torchlight II fixes that problem and best of all will still cost a cheap $20. Diablo III better step its game up.
New Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim gameplay
Bethesda’s newest Elder Scrolls was at this weeks PAX PRIME and we’ve got some juicy new footage for you to chew on. The best in my opinion are the highly improved NPC animations while interacting within towns. It’s night and day coming from Oblivion.
