Looks like http://www.gamespot.com/special_feature/skyrim-breakdown/image-feature/index.html?tag=topslot;readlink;1 has a breakdown of the video. I thought I would post it for those who are interested.

I am going to read it now.

very nice find indeed, i just read it, they broke it down very well, i loved the fact they highlighted how you can use a magic staff in one hand while wielding a sword in the other, i didnt know you could do that, i thought you could fire a spell from hand and have a weapon in the other, but to individually hold a staff in one hand and a sword in the other is epic. I also liked how they highlighted the fact that towns are more life like and you dont just use them to buy/sell or get quests, you can farm there and do other village activities.

The NPC on the right of this picture...

...I already noticed him watching the trailer, and I really like his pose. Leaning on that railing in a very natural way.
I hope this kind of responsiveness to the surroundings is as well developed in the game as it seems looking at what they have shown us until now.

Not too good, kind of shallow in my opinion... e.g. they failed to identify the dungeon shot as revealing Dwemer ruins, instead focusing on the PC. It's good for another view, but I think the PC Gamer one was better - more thorough and well anolysed.

Thanks for the link though OP :P

Is that male or female? I love that pic.

Thanks for posting.

Looking at the Gamespot http://www.gamespot.com/special_feature/skyrim-breakdown/image-feature/index.html?image=10 that is not a staff in his left hand, but a wand.
So does this mean Skyrim doesn't have staffs, (or is it staves? I forget now,) so this is more Harry Potter than Lord of the Rings?
