3. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Bethesda) -- The Elder Scrolls series hit mainstream affection in 2002 when it released its critically acclaimed third-installment in the series, The Elder Scrolls Iii: Morrowind. Unlike many of the games while its time, Morrowind introduced gamers to the opinion of a massive, free-roaming world that put it in the player's hands to rule how they wanted to craft and enjoy their experience. A few years later, The Elder Scrolls Iv: Oblivion was released, and while it initially garnered good reviews for its impressive graphics and reworked combat system, it has ultimately been carefully by many to have been a disappointing continuation of the saga, especially coming after the masterpiece that was Morrowind.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the fifth installment in the series, and is set to introduce several new features and enemies, including dragons, dungeons and a controversial dismissal of the long-standing class-based system. Many gamers are finding for Skyrim's release in 2011 to be the true sequel worthy of construction upon Morrowind's success, although only time will tell either or not Bethesda's latest installment can bring the series back to its glory days.
