14 DAY TRIAL // We've had another big week, playing mostly The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim from Bethesda, for which we have a full Softpedia review, but we also found the time to sneak in a review for the iOS powered Shadowgun.
We also have three Quick Looks, one for Need for Speed: The Run, the racing game created by Black Box and Electronic Arts, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, the hack and slash third person title, and Saints Row: The Third, the open world insanity simulator from THQ and Volition.
There's also a quickly developing series of Gamer Diaries about Skyrim.
We also have two Weekend Reading pieces, one about how story is mixed into Need for Speed: The Run and another which talks about the rivalry between Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3, and a EndWeekGame article about what we're currently playing.
And we selected the most important stories of the week that passed us by.
