While the Skyrim map definitely looks pretty and is worthy of hanging on any Traveller’s wall, it’s practically worthless as an actual gaming accessory. All good fantasy novels have maps of their make-believe worlds so the reader can form some sort of context, and the same can be said of Skyrim. For me, maps are an integral part of the fantasy genre, and have been ever since I cracked open The Hobbit for the first time when I was in fifth grade. When I first tore the cellophane off of my Xbox 360 edition of The Elderscrolls V: Skyrim game and opened up the case, I was immediately drawn to the enclosed map. Today, I’d like to share with you my opinion on the MAppZ-Skyrim Edition app by Shawn Webster.
With that out of the way, I personally own an iPad, and being the big Skyrim geek that I am, I went questing for the best game apps for my device. For the sake of non-argument, let me state that they’re all good, and that both Apple and Android have a special, and necessary place in our post-industrial, 21st century world. First off, I’d like to apologize to anyone who doesn’t have an Apple iPhone and iPad - I fully realize that there are several kick-butt Android phones and tablets on the market, and the intention of this post isn’t to start a flame war over which piece of tech is superior.
