Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

Picked up a copy of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor the day it came out, September 30, 2014.  As I am typing this only played about an hour and a bit.  Since this game is open world there is lots to look at.  Right from the start the game can be a bit overwhelming.  There are lots of things  to look which can be a confusing.  It just take time.  For the gameplay is very nice.  Everything moves nice and smooth.  The combat is a mix of Assassin’s Creed and the Arkham games.  Which is cool because I enjoyed playing those game.  Will be back with an update once I get more into the game.

[Update]  At this point I have put in about six hours or so and only done two story missions.  Having funny just checking out the world.  Doing side missions and upgrade things is very fun.  The cool thing about this game the bad guy system called the Nemesis System.  Is different for everyone.  So far having a blast playing this game.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor Trailer

I know I all ready talked about Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor yesterday.  But going to again because there is a new trailer you witch is pretty cool.  This one is different because it shows off how everything will work in the game.  Not just pretty scenes and action.  It is about about nine minutes long.  The game is set to come out September 30, 2014.  Think this trailer will help people understand what this game is all about.  Check out the trailer called Everything You Need to Walk into Mordor Trailer > here or below.

Middle-earth: Shadow Of Mordor

This up coming Tuesday (September 30, 2014) the game Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor will be out.  In a very rare move the game will be out  a week early.  It was first announced it would be out October 7, 2014.  At first was planning on getting this game after I got ones higher up on my must play list.  Now that  Assassin’s Creed: Unity has been pushed back.  Think I will pick this one up day one.  Pretty sure this will be a huge game taking lots of time to get though.  Which should make this next-gen new game price point, $70, worth it.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor – Weapons and Runes Trailer

There is a new trailer out for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.  With E3 just around the corner there will be lots of new info out about some new games.  Think they are putting some this stuff out before E3 just so it doesn’t get lost in a flood of gaming news.  This new trailer shows of the main character, Talion’s main three weapons and how you can upgrade them.  You can check out the video > here or below.  It does look every interesting.  The game does have this Assassin’s Creed feel to it.  Think that is a good thing since I love those games.   Shadow of Mordor will be out October 7, 2014 for last and new gen.  This game is on my list of game to look out for.  There are so many coming this fall/holiday it will be hard to decided which ones to get first.

This has to be the coolest and may be the best Lord of The Rings games to date.  Talking about Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.  There is a new trailer out > here or below.  It’s a very slick trailer.  But the best thing is they give us a release date.  Which is October 7, 2014.  What makes this game cool is, it has this Assassin’s Creed feel in the Lord of the Rings universe.  Back in January the game makers put a game play video which you can check out > here.  It is coming out for current and last gen consoles minus the WiiU.  There are lots of great games coming out later in the year.  This being one of them and we still have E3 to look forward to.

Middle-earth: Shadow Of Mordor

There is yet another cool looking game coming out some time in the future I want to talking.  It is called Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.  This looks like we will finely get a great Lord of the Rings game.  Most time Lord of the Rings games are just ok or very bad movie tie-ins.  This game how ever has it own back story and lead characters.  It is set take place between the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings.  Check out a game play video > here or below.  The game does look very fun.  They have mixed in some Assassin’s Creed and Batman Arkham elements.  Not sure when it will be out.  Let another game to keep my eye on.

Lord Of The Rings Extended Edition Review

Finished watching the extended edition of the Lord of The Rings on Blu-ray today.  Now to check out the hours of extras.  Have not seen the extended versions of these films before it was great to see all the extra stuff.  While it did make them all most twice as long it was well worth it.  Each movie was broken up on to two Blu-rays.  It made it seem like each movie as two movies long.  They did this to keep the pictures quality at the best.

What can say enough good things.  Ever one needs to check out the extended versions on Blu-ray.  They look so awesome.  It is a must buy.

5 out of 5 GT (GT = Good Times)

Lord Of The Rings Blu-ray

Picked up the extended edition of the Lord of The Rings on Blu-ray today.  I have not seen the extended version of any of the three films so it will be nice to see them in High Def.  According to the back of the box there is over 26 hours of bonus content.  My guess most of that content might be commentaries.  The box set contains 15 discs.  There is lots of stuff to look at for sure.  Will be watching it all for months to come.  Wal-mart had a great deal.  Got it for $60.  Most place wanted much more than that.

Lord Of The Rings Trilogy On Blu-ray

Last year Lord of The Rings trilogy came out on Blu-ray.  Was debating whether or not to pick it up.  I am glad I didn’t.  Because the Extended Edition Blu-ray will be out June 28, 2001.   Have not seen any of the extended version.  So I think I will be pick this up.  It all so comes with all kinds of great extras.  These movies looked great on DVD so Blu-ray should be pretty awesome.

Lord Of The Rings Online

The MMO Lord of the Rings Online is going to become free to play.  I signed for to get into the beta awhile back and got a code.  Have not tried it yet, need to find the time.  Starting September 10, 2010 you will be open to everyone.   This game had a $15 a month fee but now it will make money by micro transaction.  If you are looking for a free and good quietly game you should check it out.  The game came out back in 2007.  So if you have a computer from then or a newer one you should have not trouble playing this.
