Abstract: Finally. A Lord of the Rings game with a mature rating, it's about time. J.R.R. Tolkien's world can get pretty dark and gruesome, so it only makes sense we would one day see a LotR game that portrayed the visceral nature of war and carnage. Though the gam...
Should the denizens of Mordor come to fear the dead ranger, or should the dead be left to their end? In my opinion, bring the terror. Shadow of Mordor is a very fun game that does a great deal right, to the point that the developers should be quite proud ...
Abstract: Recently, more games are making the jump to film than publishers are making movie games. But that wasn't always the case. From the 90s to the late 2000s, we were blessed with some of the best movie video games after, what seemed like, almost every single...

Nemesis System lets you create a worthy foe, Awesome Mounts, Fun Gameplay that lets you choose your own play style
Weak Boss Fights in main quest line, Lots of QTEs, Forgettable OST
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor has really brilliant mechanics that will make you want to lose yourself playing in its open world rather than facing its weak story bosses.9JRR Tolkien Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Monolith PC PS3 ps4 Steam WB Games XBOX ...
The Nemesis system is a fantastic piece of tech, and I can't wait to see both what Monolith does with it next and what other open-world games accomplish with the inevitable rip-offs of this system.But at the end of the day, it feels less like the Nemesis ...
Combat system, similar to Batman Arkham series, Character progression on skills, Story background, Gollum's appearance, Captain and Warchief system
Minimal customization
If someone asks you where are you headed tonight. Tell them you are headed to Mordor! This game is just that awesome; although short, you could play it over and over again with he captain and warchief system. On the said system, you'll meet a lot of new U...

Great combat, Enemy progression, Losing matters, Mind control
Unexciting campaign missions
