On this day 14 years ago, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released. 11/11/11.
Some art from the Feb 2011 issue of gameinormer.
Can't believe we've had/have to wait 15 years for the next Elder Scrolls.

Halo 2: 21 years ago. I was 4th in line at our local gamestop, Midnight. My friends and I would grab our copy and rush home to play on the OG Xbox. Trying to complete the campaign before hitting up one of the greatest multi-player experiences of our lifetime.

November always feels like Assassin's Creed month. Who else follows the creed?
"Nothing is true, everything is permitted."

Does sex still sell games? Looking back at 80s and 90s ads, it’s wild what they got away with. Even in the late 2000s, Mass Effect got “sex simulator” backlash. And now with GTA 6’s trailer, it feels like—yeah, sex still sells? #gaming #retrogames

Seems to be a lot of negativity surrounding Xbox these days, it has been one of my favorite consoles holding some great IPs. It truly transformed the gaming space with xbox live. Just thought I'd take a moment to appreciate this wonderful box. #xbox #gaming #retrogames

I often think to myself that there’s just too much to play. But when I flip through old gaming magazines, I realize the games have always been plentiful — it’s my time that’s become limited. It’s a little sad, but I’ll keep trying to make new memories with today’s games.

Anyone remember the Gameboy camera? How cool did you feel using this as a kid. Nintendo will always be a toy company.
