Skyrim's world is immense, and that've before you consider it's many in-game books which can be found in the world.
These books usually require a good deal of rummaging around in people's houses and in every nook and cranny of the enormous game to find them, but if you enjoy the game's texts you can take a shortcut and download them all here.
Website Capane has gathered every last one and slapped them into MOBI and EPUB files for use on Kindle or Nook and other E-readers. That's called commitment.
A YouTube user recently created a fun video showcasing 100 weird and wonderful ways to die in Skyrim. Well worth a watch

Oddworld Inhabitants has revealed the full list of Trophies for the PSN version of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD.
Stranger's Wrath HD is being made by Just Add Water - working closely with Oddworld Inhabitants.

It'll also contain a total of 37 new Trophy rewards to unlock, a full list of which is over on the official site through the source link.

Around this time last year, Sony announced it had shipped just over 4 million units of its motion gaming peripheral, the PlayStation Move. And then in early April, about five months later, the company once again announced a new shipping number of around 8 million, doubling the original shipped number. Unfortunately for Sony, it seems the last seven months haven't maintained that momentum, with 1 million being added to the total shipped number (approximately 9 million in total), according to Industry Gamers.
As per usual, Sony isn't giving out hard numbers for units actually sold. It stands to reason, however, that if retailers have only ordered another 1 million units leading up to the holiday season, the peripheral likely isn't selling like, say, Walter White's crystal meth (hotcakes are so out of fashion).
Microsoft has been spinning a similar story with its own motion peripheral, the Kinect, holding to sales statements made last March (10 million sold -- not shipped) rather than offering new data. We're holding out hope that the two hardware companies are more vocal after the coming holiday sales bonanza, but we're not holding our breath either.

November 25th, 2011, 23:38 Posted By: wraggster
This has been a tough year for traditional games handhelds.
3DS has taken its time to find its feet, with Super Mario 3D Land last week the first game to make it a must-have. Six months after release. The new kiddie-priced PSP effectively snuck out to market as that platform faces its twilight years. Meanwhile, the popularity of iOS devices and rival smartphones – and even stuff like Kindle – have grown and grown, blurring the lines and creating confusion about how best to price, deploy and promote pocket-sized content.
In that environment, is there hope for PlayStation’s Vita? I certainly think there is.
Because while much has been made about how the delivery of content has changed, the big problem facing any kind of portable device that plays games is content itself. 3DS simply hasn’t had enough, and the PSP eventually ran out of games. Meanwhile, the new and sexy smartphones are awash with games. Yes, there are lots of impressive hits, but floods and floods of trashy apps, too.
Sony’s answer this week, in unveiling 11 – count ‘em! – first-party launch games, is a move to balance both quality and quantity. Classic brands and new IP. Upcoming exclusives such as FIFA and Call of Duty add further promise.
Retailers will find this a huge relief when it comes to launch on February 22nd – they need content to sell, and as GAME CEO Ian Shepherd says elsewhere in this issue, stores want it outside of the usual Q4 season.
Vita, as its name suggests, could keep this part of the market alive.
A SORRY TAIL
But as GAME said to investors last week (and MCV this week), there’s an awkward story this side of Christmas.
Games are coming out and hitting the high notes at week one, and then dropping off in sales terms at an alarming rate by week two. It’s such a problem GAME singled it out in its trading alert last week.
This is no ‘not our fault’ excuse – anyone who checks Chart-Track numbers can see it happening. There are a number of titles that have arrived at full price only to be bargain bin material a few weeks later.
Is it driven by over-enthusiastic shipping forecasts at the top of the chain, or unchecked expectations at local levels?
Publishers and retailers need to address this. Because putting a brave face on it, and selling in or taking on loads of stock won’t help consumers’ faith. They’ll expect high prices day one, and lower ones a few weeks later. More and more are waiting. And they might not come back at all.

The chances of Sony’s PS3 ready 3D games monitor arriving in the UK this side of Christmas have effectively been ruled out.
The unit was first announced at this year’s E3 in June.
"We have been informed by our supplier that there will be a delay in obtaining stock for this item and it will no longer be released in Europe in 2011," Amazon’s listing for the device now reads.
"If you have ordered this item from us at Amazon.co.uk your order will take longer to fulfill than originally estimated. We are expecting an update in the new year."
The retailer expects to sell the TV for £499. That includes the 24” screen and two pairs of active shutter glasses. One of its key features is the ability for two viewers to watch different 2D content on a single screen at the same time.
Sony had best get a move on – after all, chief executive Howard Stringer reckons that 3D TVs will be in every home by the end of 2012.

The UK website of US giant GameStop.co.uk is kicking off a day of ‘Black Friday’ deals tomorrow, beginning with Uncharted 3 for just £22.97.

UK PlayStation 3 owners can now download episodes of US TV shows such as Arrested Development, Bones, South Park and 24 from the PlayStation Network Video Store.Pricing has been set at £2.49 an episode for HD shows, with SD content a pound cheaper.Totalled up, that means a standard US 22 episode season will cost £54.78.TheSixthAxis points out that the available content is far from comprehensive however - you can watch seasons one and six of 24 but will have to go elsewhere for the rest. Likewise, you can download the second season of Avengers director Joss Whedon's Dollhouse, but not the first.

Catherine, the game that can be described feebly as a romantic nightmare puzzle sim type thing, is heading to Europe in February 2012. Deep Silver is taking care of Atlus' curious cargo over there, and announced the release window today alongside a double-sided cover for first-edition copies.
The flip cover shows Catherine, a mysterious and illicit temptation for the protagonist. Reverse it and you'll find Katherine, his long-term girlfriend that's making a move toward marriage. "This way consumers will get the opportunity to select their personal preference," Deep Silver says, "as to which of the women in his life the game's main character, Vincent, should choose." If your game cases are proudly displayed in the living room, we suggest you go with the K-lady.

Reports have emerged which claim Sony will at some stage release a firmware update for PS3 that will allow the upcoming PlayStation Vita to stream any game from the system.
Eurogamer reports that for back-catalogue titles Vita will only be able to display a resolution of 480x272, though this will be upscaled to fit Vita’s 960x544 OLED screen.
Future titles, however, titles will have the option of including 480p playback.
Games that utilise buttons found on a Dualshock 3 pad but not on the Vita will be capable of adding these missing functions as on-screen buttons.
It is presumed that a wi-fi connection will be required to use the functionality, and n owner’s PS3 will have to be set up to allow for users to activate the console remotely.

Jim Ryan, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, has argued while media focus might be turning the the unannounced next generation of consoles, Sony is still commited to the PS3.
"There's still a lot of unfinished business on PS3," he toldEurogamer in an exclusive interview.
"If you look at PlayStation 2, now in excess of 150m units installed globally, a huge majority of that was done at price points of £120 or lower. [With PS3] we've only just hit £199 in the UK, so clearly there's a considerable untapped part of the market there."
At the launch of the current generation Microsoft had a considerable head start, launching the Xbox 360 in November 2005, a full year before the PlayStation 3. Ryan said Sony are to avoid making that mistake again.
"I think we would consider it undesirable to be significantly later than the competition."
Eariler this week Sony announced the EU launch line up for its new handheld, the PlayStation Vita.

But claims 'unfinished business' on current generation platform
It would be “undesirable” for the Playstation 4 to launch later than its rivals, Playstation Europe boss Jim Ryan has said.
The PS3 launched a year after the Xbox 360, and whilst the system has been successful, Ryan admits Sony does not want to give Microsoft another head start with the next generation.
"I think we would consider it undesirable to be significantly later than the competition,” Ryan told Eurogamer.
Despite this, few details have been given on the progress of the Playstation 4, whilst the Wii U has already been revealed and touted for a 2012 launch and the next Xbox is expected to be announced next year.
Ryan stated however there is a lot of “unfinished business” on the current platform.

Ridge Racer on PlayStation Vita will contain just three tracks, all pulled from previous games, and five cars.
That's according to reports from a recent Namco Bandai press event in Japan (via Andriasang).
The three tracks in the game, Harborline 765, Highland Cliffs and Southbay Docks, are said to be unchanged from their previous appearances. The ability to play them in reverse doesn't really suffice, we say.
Namco is, however, pricing the game slightly lower than other Vita games. While Uncharted: Golden Abyss will be priced at 5,980 yen (£50) in retail, RR will come at 3,980 (about £33). Likewise, the download version of RR will be cheap, selling at a special price of 2,980 (£24) until March 31, when it's price will rise to match the retail copy.
 Does its bare-bones content warrant the price? What about the fact that it apparently only runs at 30fps, rather than the 60fps you might expect? Still getting it now?As huge Ridge Racer fans, we find this hugely disappointing. Three courses was minimal back in the original Ridge Racer Revolution days, but at least back then it was a technical marvel.

In August, EA brass restructured the company putting Peter Moore in the role of COO and converting the illustrious BioWare brand from developer to "label," joining the ranks of EA Games (DICE, Visceral, Criterion, EA Partners, etc.), EA Sports (Madden, FIFA, Fight Night) and EA Play (Maxis, The Sims, MySims). With this new understanding of "BioWare" we bring you the latest scuttlebutt from internet scuttlebutter Superannuation, who spotted a LinkedIn resume (since edited) that described the Marina del Rey-based Victory Games as a BioWare studio.
Victory Games, you might recall, is a new "strategy studio" announced by EA last February, as an offshoot of its EA Los Angeles location. Like Danger Close and Visceral Games, Victory is more of a "rebranding" than an entirely new studio; Victory was set up as the EALA shop handling all things Command & Conquer, much like Danger Close was established to handle all things Medal of Honor.
Now, onto the new "BioWare" game being revealed on December 10 at the Spike Video Game Awards. With the latest teaser promising "a new direction, a new game, from a new BioWare studio," that sounds vague enough to contain a new Command & Conquer installment. New direction? That sounds like Victory's mandate for the franchise. New game? Well, yeah. A new BioWare studio? We're not sure what makes Victory a BioWare studio (per the above LinkedIn resume) instead of an EA Games studio, but there you have it. We'll find out on the 10th!

Labour party MP and chairman of the home affairs select committee Keith Vaz has called on Parliament to express "deep concern" atCall Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's depiction of a terrorist attack on London.
Vaz, a frequent critic of violent videogames, also calls for UK ratings board the British Board Of Film Classification (BBFC) to more strictly control the sale of violent games.
Early day motion 2427, titled Call Of Duty 3, calls on parliament to agree that "this House is deeply concerned about the recently released videogame Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, in which players engage in gratuitous acts of violence against members of the public, [and] notes in particular the harrowing scenes in which a London Underground train is bombed by terrorists, bearing a remarkable resemblance to the tragic events of July 7, 2005.
"[The House] further notes that there is increasing evidence of a link between perpetrators of violent crime and violent videogame users, and calls on the BBFC to take further precautions when allowing a game to be sold."
This is far from the first time Vaz has spoken out against videogames. He campaigned against Rockstar's Manhunt following the murder of 14-year-old Stefan Pakeerah, and also criticisedanother of the developer's games, Bully, its UK PS2 release later renamed Canis Canem Edit. Last year, he filed another early day motion in which he attempted to link the Malmo school shootings to Valve's online shooter Counter-Strike.
Vaz clearly hasn't played or even seen the level in question, judging by the factual inaccuracies in his motion. Players do not attack members of the public; the terrorist attack is a series of chemical explosions above ground; and in the scene on the Tube, players engage with terrorists in an empty underground train, armed with explosives and bound for Westminster station.
Hats off, then, to Tom Watson, deputy chair of the Labour Party, who yesterday filed an amendment suggesting that Vaz's motion be reworded from "House" - the third word - onwards, as follows:
"…notes that the BBFC gave the videogame Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 an 18 classification, noting that 'the game neither draws upon nor resembles real terrorist attacks on the Underground'; further believes that the game has an excellent user interface and challenges the gamers' dexterity as well as collaborative skills in an outline setting; and encourages the BBFC to uphold the opinion of the public that whilst the content of videogames may be unsettling or upsetting to some, adults should be free to choose their own entertainment in the absence of legal issues or material which raises a risk of harm."

Motorstorm RC has players control little radio controlled cars in fast off-road races."We're extremely pleased with how the game is coming together; it's a perfect combination of classic racing with really modern connectivity features and it's already bigger than your average download game," says game director Paul Rustchynsky.
The game packs eight vehicle classes and the usual variety of tricky environments the series is known for, along with online play and the ability to carry over saved progress between the PS3 and the Vita versions.
It promises four locations containing 16 all new tracks, four-player split-screen play on PS3, and what's really cool is you'll only need to buy the game once and you'll get both the PS3 and Vita versions.
Motorstorm RC has been confirmed as a launch title for Vita's February 22 EU launch.
