While many consider The Lord of the Rings perfect source material for high fantasy videogame adventures, the franchise has not yet delivered the experiences it so clearly is capable of. A series of scrolling beat-‘em-ups coinciding with the motion-picture releases and a welcoming stab at real-time strategy (RTS) is all consoles have seen. Perhaps it’s simply the magnitude of developing such a grand adventure as a role-playing game (RPG) that scares off developers, after all a leniency is afforded to massively multiplayer online (MMO) videogames that is not granted to single-player experiences. And thus The Lord of the Rings Online is the only such RPG gamers have yet been offered, and on consoles the franchise must take other paths.

Mythor writes: I'm not particularly good at games in the MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) genre. I really like the basic idea, but for whatever reason I am decidedly average when it comes to playing them. So when I see there's yet another one coming out it typically doesn't get a second glance.
