We've been running a lot of stories on "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" lately because it's all the gaming news sources are talking about, and now we know why. According to a report published by Raptr, a site that tracks gameplay data for more than 10 million gamers, "Skyrim" is officially the most-played game of 2011 -- a year that Web Pro News claims has been the best year in gaming since 1996 (think "Super Mario 64").

Raptr's report also broke down the most-played games within different genres, though there are few surprises there. "Modern Warfare 3" topped the Shooter list, "Batman: Arkham City" dominated Open-World Games, and "Skyrim" obviously crushed the RPG category. (According to the report, it clocked in twice as many hours as the next best RPG, "Dragon Age 2.") Do you play Skyrim?

Just bought it yesterday, along with Batman Arkham City and both are awesome. Nice graphics, you can play online against others if you choose so. All and all, I would recommend it to others.

I've heard good things about Arkham City, also. I'd like to give both of them a try.

But I have heard good things about it. I don't really play video games nearly as often as I used to, but I'm more than willing to give it a shot.

I had to play this on an old small CRT at first. When I finally had a larger HD tv to plug this into, I was amazed.... it didn't even feel like the same game. Slaying a dragon in Skyrim in HD.... I don't know how any game company can top this.

No, but only because my laptop can't handle it. My boyfriend plays it though. Even watching the game is fun.

Luna Wren to wolfenrir 2012/01/01 17:16:09

First off, I don't have the best hand e-
Let me put it this way, my friends can go off and play Skyrim, but I shall stay in my realm and they can stay in theirs. My realm consists of plays, music, and playing the guitar. Not sitting in front of a tv, playing a game I'd much rather be my reality.
