Player Attack gathers together a few clues that some are taking as indications that a high-resolution texture patch for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the "surprise" Bethesda's Pete Hines recently said is coming Tuesday for their RPG sequel. Their evidence is plausible, but by no means concrete.

1. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
2. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
3. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Today is the annual high holiday here in the U.S., Super Bowl Sunday. I thought I did better last year on my predictions than I did, I just looked and found I was 8-3 picking without the spread. This year I have the chance to do better, as I put an 8-2 record on the line. My pick is the Giants, which should come as a surprise to no one. Go big blue!
