Skyrim is amazing. If you haven’t already discovered that for yourself seeing as how it’s been out four days now, then you’re doing it all wrong. Skyrim is everything you could ever want in an Elder Scrolls game, all the freedom and exploration of its predecessors but with far superior gameplay and a natural and intuitive levelling system. I’m not going to gush endlessly here, I’m just gonna say flat-out that Skyrim is one of the best games I’ve ever played and I can see myself playing it for a long time.

But on to other business. Capcom have finally caught up with themselves by officially revealing all of the characters for Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3, even though everyone’s already known for months. Got to kind of admire that ability to stubbornly stick to a schedule even after messing it all up. But with a full roster reveal comes the final iteration of the UMvC3 trailer.

Not sure how much I like this. It’s very pretty but considerably less action-packed than Capcom’s fighting trailers tend to be. And at nearly six minutes long it’s a bit of an endurance test by trailer standards. But there are some awesome moments in there regardless.

Next week brings us the release of WWE ’12, which I’m looking forward to quite a bit despite it obviously not being nearly as exciting as Skyrim. THQ have seemingly put some work into improving this one over last year’s Smackdown Vs Raw 2011. And I didn’t buy that one so I’m sure there’ll be massive improvements over my last outing in SvR 2010. While I don’t expect the gameplay to be as good as my beloved WWE All Stars nor am I a big fan of the graphics, it’s the amount of creation stuff that always wins me over with these games. With all the usual create-a-superstar, create-a-finishing move, create-a-story and so on being joined by the brand new create-an-arena mode, I’m sure there’ll be plenty here to keep me busy in between Skyrim consuming my life.

Zee out.

Yes, I’m going back on Skyrim. Don’t judge me.
