The topic of the week is going to be Game Wikis, wikis for computer and console games.
The formalities finished, The Internet Explorer shall review UESP Wiki today!
The UESP Wiki (or the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages) is a wiki for the popular, open-ended RPG Elder Scrolls series. The series includes Arena (I), Daggerfall (II), Morrowind (my favorite, and III), and the latest, Oblivion (IV). The series is mainly popular for having no strict story line. It's one of the biggest RPGs ever, and the last two Elder Scrolls series have expansion packs.
The wiki itself has a very user-friendly layout. Recently, there have been a few outages, but those are mainly because of the database server.
The Internet Explorer is not a big fan of wikis, mostly because of the unreliability of the information. However, the UESP Wiki is run by fans of the game, and that contributes to the quality of the information. Each of the Elder Scrolls series has its own section, decreasing possible confusion of games.
