  The Brilliance and Faults of Skyrim

  
  If there is one game that is known by the majority of the gaming community, there is no doubt it is Skyrim. This video game was the fifth installment of The Elder Scrolls series, and when it dropped in 2011, audiences were blown away after experiencing an RPG experience unlike any other. Even though the game is now over ten years old, it is still played consistently to this day and this is because of the replayability the game contains. RPGs are designed to be massive experiences that people...

  There has been a premium Call of Duty game released every year since Call of Duty 2 back in 2005. Prior to that, the first title in the franchise was released in 2003, meaning that only 2004 went without a new entry. Since 2005, new Call of Duty releases were like clockwork. They were as regular as a yearly Madden release or you when eating a diet high in fiber.
