    [​IMG] I came across an article today at computerandvideogames.com and found it kind of interesting.

    I really didn't like the LoTR games on PS2, they were just like arcade games. Maybe this one will actually be worth it.

    I wonder if there's only 1 single person thinking up the names for all CRPGs in existence, because half of them have "Shadows" in the title. Shadows of Amn, Shadows of Undrentide, Shadows of Mordor, and a bunch of other CRPGs with "shadows" in the title. Talk about lame. :rolleyes:

    Don't think it will be any good. Most games (IMO) made from movies have been pathetic, although some will disagree. Entre the Matrix, Harry Potter, LotRs on PS2 like you said, and the list goes on. They are just cheap money making games, and not much care is usually taken in them.
    Although, saying that, I'll try any LotR game.

    Say Lord of the Rings and watch my ears all but perk up. I love LotR, and I agree with RotKU in saying that i'll try any LotR game... even if it does have a lame name...

    Gotta go with Valkyrie there. But wouldn't it be cool if Bethsoft (folk who made Morrowind) created an open ended, do whatever the hell you want game based in Middle Earth, now that would be something.
