VIDEO GAMES: Prepare yourself.

The reviews for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim are in. This has been my most anticipated game for about 6 months now and tonight when the clock strikes midnight we will all finally have the chance to wander aimlessly through the world of Skyrim. If the videos, interviews, articles and all that weren't enough to convince you that this is likely the top contender for game of the year, perhaps a 9.5 from IGN, 9.5 from Gameinformer, 5/5 from Joystiq, 9.0 from Gamespot and an A- from 1UP will persuade you. This is a game that promises over 100 hours of gameplay without breaking a sweat. A world that you can completely become a part of packed to the brim with discovery, adventure, betrayal, crafting and of course...dragons. This is going to be the longest day ever.

VIDEO GAMES: The time has come.

For you to choose your side! Battlefield 3 or Modern Warfare 3?!?! It's one or the other, there is no middle ground! Actually there totally is and it's probably where I'll end up. But regardless tonight at midnight Battlefield 3 hits shelves and fires the first shot in the retail war between the two "competitors." I won't be getting the game tonight as my current funds are already set aside for Skyrim, Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, etc. but I might get BF3 for PC come Christmas time. Will you be lining up outside the game stores tonight? It's bound to be a big crowd! Oh and by the way, BF3 has received a 9.0 from IGN, 9.5 from GameInformer and 4.5 stars from Joystiq so it's probably pretty stinkin fun.

VIDEO GAMES: Midnight.

Brothers to the end.
