11 Incredible Skyrim-Inspired Minecraft Builds

Happy Minecraft Monday! This week we bring you some of the most-impressive Skyrim-inspired builds around. Users have recreated almost everything, from the seedy streets of Riften to the idyllic shops of Whiterun. Even the Dovakiin himself has been given the Minecraft treatment. Check it out:

And there you have it! Impressive stuff, right? Even more impressive, many of these Skyrim projects are ongoing and will only improve further in the coming weeks and months. There are even groups working to recreate the whole of Tamriel!

Sony ‘Working with’ Bethesda for PS3 Skyrim DLC

Sony is “working closely” with Bethesda to bring Skyrim’s downloadable content to PlayStation 3. In a recent interview, Sony vice president Adam Boyes said Sony’s development support team collaborates with all third party publishers to fix technical issues, and that includes Bethesda.

"We work with all of our partners to try and solve their problems," Boyes told Kotaku. "We have a big, broad dev support team that works closely with Bethesda, and with all of our partners, to work with them to solve that any sort of issues they have along the way. Of course, I always want everything to work always for everyone. I can't promise any kind of resolution or timeline but can say that everyone involved is trying their best to get this stuff working."

Previously, Bethesda said it was “not yet satisfied with Dawnguard’s performance on the PS3.” The publisher later suggested that the downloadable content might never hit PS3 at all, adding “this is not a problem we’re positive we can solve.”

Skyrim’s Dawnguard and Hearthfire content have technically never been announced for PlayStation 3, despite Dawnguard being available on Xbox 360 and PC and Hearthfire recently hitting Xbox Live.

Keep checking back to IGN for updates on the situation as it continues to develop.
