Apologies if posted, simply let me know!

Praise for the 360 version
It’s worth mentioning that we played an Xbox 360 build of the game, so no worrying that your pretty game will be compromised somewhat when ported from PC to console. Sure, the PC version will probably come out above the consoles in terms of the visuals, but what we played went beyond expectations. You can see as many pictures and videos online as you want, but nothing beats seeing it in front of you

Wut?
barbecuing Ent like enemies

Guess the playable demo was challenging
Skyrim also seems to have ramped up the difficulty somewhat. Even being equipped with a decent set of weaponry and armour in the demo build, it was easy to get caught in a battle with an enemy and find yourself quickly overwhelmed. Enemies themselves deal a decent amount of damage, and in return you don’t deal a great deal in return.

On the 360, 'Y' is to jump
'Y' being the jump button

Topics discussed with a tavern publican
There were also a few more conversational options such as 'can I have a bed, 'what's the latest news', and' what are you selling'. I also had the option of asking if there were any jobs available, I expected something laborious within the town such as farming, but I was sent to deal with some bandits who were causing trouble. There's at least a glimpse there at more in depth and variable job types.

Actual dogs or wolves? (yes there were enemies called 'Wild Dog' in the past)
I got to test the combat when fending off random wild dogs,

You will see tgl1992! One day I will find a Skyrim's Article and post it before you! :evil:

And I think that Ents (Or Ent-Like) enemies were already confirmed by an old article.

(Thanks for the articles.)

I generally don't like any preview that doesn't come with at least one bit of criticism, so aside from the Daily Joy Pad being just kind of boring with nothing new in general, it reeks of a little too much positivity. MSXBOX world has at least one new complaint that I hadn't even thought of, minor though it may be, MMO'ers probably will notice it right off the bat.
