If you are buying a top performing video card right now and looking for the highest performance at a really good price, the GTX 1070 is the only choice since the GTX 1080 is much more expensive...
TDP and power draw is almost unbelievable at 150W for such a high-performance GPU, using only one 8-pin PCIe cable; in contrast the Fury X requires two 8-pin cables, Overclockability is very good so far – GPU Boost 3.0 works with the Precision X overcloc

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...
Great animations. Good voice acting, and dialogue reminiscent of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies. Nemesis System really builds Orcish Nemeses.
Repetitive, shallow combat system. Bland story. Forced, boring, instant-fail stealth missions. Small and empty for an open world. Redundant power-ups and perks. Unskippable cutscenes interrupt combat
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor has a cool way to allow your actions to develop your enemies in its Nemesis system. And it looks nice, too, but shallow combat and frustrating design choices mar this Tolkien-inspired PC brawler....
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is an example of a innovative idea well-executed upon. That Warner Bros. was willing to attach the Middle-earth brand to a new idea is good evidence of that. The resulting product works well as a piece of entertainment, ampl...
Abstract: The combat feels fantastic, every movement feels weighted, executions and other moves take realistic amounts of time. Countering plays a big role in combat, remembering to counter could be the difference between pulling off that awesome combo you've been...
Abstract: Compared to similar beloved multi-media franchises like Batman or Star Wars, the Lord of the Rings and the any other works of J.R.R. Tolkien have a far smaller success rate of being translated into video games. Interplay had a few decent hits in the 80s i...

Abstract: Sauron has returned and the world has gone to ashes. Though a bit melodramatic on my part, the storyline of Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor – developed by Monolith Productions and published by Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment – brings the reality of M...
Open world that feels aliv, Nemesis system personalizes gamepla, Story respects Tolkien mytho, Memorable visuals and sound
Somewhat bland protagonis, Unbalanced difficulty curve
With a gripping story, refined gameplay and some bold new ideas, Shadow of Mordor is a must-have title. Whether you read the books by J.R.R. Tolkien, watch the movies from Peter Jackson, Ralph Bakshi and Rankin-Bass or listen to the BBC radio d...
