Morrowind Game of the Year Edition

Morrowind: Game of the Year Edition may be the most expansive RPG ever crammed onto one disc.

Here?s further proof that you don?t need an Xbox and a PC to enjoy the best games, you just need a little patience. Morrowind: Game of the Year Edition for the Xbox adds both the Tribunal and Bloodmoon PC expansion packs to an already gargantuan RPG adventure. It goes without saying that you can import your non-GOTY characters or start anew with a clean slate.

The Tribunal expansion opens up the city of Mournhold and its associated sewers and dungeons, while Bloodmoon adds the Nord-dominated island of Solstheim that is accessible only by boat from Khuul. Along with new areas for exploration come new weapons, armor, and creatures. On Solstheim, players are treated to beautiful new landscapes and a healthy serving of open-ended adventuring. But beware: You can become infected by lycanthropy if your fight with the werewolves takes a turn for the worse. This adds an interesting twist to the gameplay as characters must adjust to the benefits and drawbacks of the condition. The city of Mournhold offers a slightly more linear experience, but it?s still a joy to explore.

The gorgeous graphics are marred only by occasional stuttering, and the sound design is flawless. The updated controls and interfaces enable easy, intuitive access to the game?s magic and combat systems. Bethesda has created not just a game but also a benchmark by which future RPGs will be measured. If you missed Morrowind the first time around, the Game of the Year Edition is the perfect chance to experience this sprawling classic.?DJ Dinobot
