We are not only surprised by how great of a game Shadow of Mordor is, but at how little it demands from your PC's hardware. At the surprisingly attractive low detail setting, configured to render 1280x720 pixels, the game ran smoothly on a sub-$100 Radeon...

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is far from flawless. The pacing is all over the place, the length of the story would embarrass a paperback, and the gameplay genuinely feels like Ezio Auditore and the Dark Knight had a baby and took him LARPing. For all th...

Mordor isn't known for scenic beauty, Getting overwhelmed can be frustrating
It sounds like an unholy Middle Earth mash-up of Arkham City and Assassin's Creed, but the Nemesis system helps turn Shadow of Mordor into something far more entertaining. With good, demanding combat, excellent stealth and enemies worth slaying it's more...
Nemesis System is revelatory, Open world is packed with activities, Scripted plot promises to make Tolkien lore-lovers smile wide-open
Player-scripted story and actual plot at odds during the climax, Questionable “escape” design breaks the illusion, Clunky traversal and combat controls
Abstract: Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, however, begins where most other Lord of the Rings games meet their end. When the Ranger Talion and his family are slaughtered by uruks under Sauron's command at the Black Gate, he is resurrected and his body bound to wande...
Abstract: It's been about six months since BTR compared the RX 480 versus the GTX 1060 and versus the 290X. It will be interesting to see if there have been any major performance changes since then. Has AMD neglected Hawaii in favor of Polaris, and what about Pasca...
