Oh dear. What a big old mess the PS3 version of Skyrim has turned out to be for some gamers. If you've not been paying attention, have a read of Dave's rant in last week's High Horse feature. He went weapons free. And justifiably so.

While waiting for a miracle from Skyrim developer Bethesda to make everything better again, our esteemed colleagues at CVG have put together a video highlighting in all its shitty glory just how terribly broken the PS3 version of Skyrim is being for some unfortunate players. Behold the horror with your own eyes...

Whichever way you look at it, in that sorry state Skyrim on PS3 is broken and unplayable. Needless to say, we'll keep you posted on GamesRadar of any developments.
