Build A Home Or Castle In Skyrim

Hearthfire, the next official game add-on for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, is now available worldwide for download for 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE.

Hearthfire allows players to purchase land and build their own home from the ground up – from a simple one-room cottage to a sprawling compound complete with armory, alchemy laboratory, and more.

Choose your land, customize your house, guard it from unwanted visitors, and turn your house into a home by adopting children. For more information on
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim or Hearthfire please visit www.elderscrolls.com.

I like how you have to make the different objects in the rooms. And it looks like there is some role-playing once you get a family going. Our own Todd Hargosh is reviewing this one and should have his report in soon.

John Breeden II

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
