The Elder Scrolls Online Blackwood – Review

Green Man Gaming Blog — 2021 is a year of many things, but it’s mainly the fifteenth anniversary of the release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. That game took place in the province of Cyrodiil which was under attack by the daedric forces of Mehrunes Dagon. Now, fifteen years later (and 800 years earlier in-game) we’re back in southern Cyrodiil facing off against that same large cherry-red lad.

ajmchugh.wordpress.com — A charge often levied at more modern versions of Star Trek is that it's lost something, that it's pivoted from a glowing vision of the future to a series that's now more dystopian in outlook. That Star Trek, in other words, isn't Star Trek anymore.

Fallout Games Ranked From Worst To Best - Green Man Gaming Blog

greenmangaming.com — The Fallout series has had some highs and lows. More highs than lows, but there's still some. Obviously games are a subjective thing, you like what you like and it doesn't matter what anyone else says about a thing. If *you* love it, then that's good enough and lists are basically pointless things just made to drive arguments.
