1UP: With the two-part film adaptation of The Hobbit not due in theaters for another year, the chances of getting a quality The Lord of the Rings game before that seemed slim to say the least. So imagine my surprise when an M-rated title that pulls from both the films as well as the expanded universe materializes from the vapor.
YouTube’s ‘John GodGames Emus’ and ‘Emulators for PC’ have shared some new videos, showing GUN, Bodycount, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Wanted: Weapons of Fate and more running on the latest version of the best Xbox 360 emulator, Xenia.

"When you first started playing Spec Ops: The Line , you might feel that it’s just another brainless third person shooter, and some parts are kind of boring, that’s what I thought as well, but I was really into shooter games so I finished it and I was totally impressed by its story, don’t worry not spoilers, If you want to know why this game is on the list, and you are interested in good stories, go play it and pay attention to the plot, you will agree my opinion afterwards."
The Saboteur was great, nice art style and such a good soundtrack. Hunted was cool but very flawed.
Alice the Madness Returns is still really cool for those who like the premise. The original Dead Space holds up well. Catherine has aged incredibly well. The Suda 51 games are all still great if you can dig quirkiness (Shadows of the damned, Lollipop Chainsaw, Killer is dead). There are lots more, many have had remasters already though.
I always felt that Saboteur was under appreciated, I really did like that game a lot. It was a real shame when Pandemic got shut down.
Celebrating the launch of the new Hobbit movie, The Lord of the Rings Bundle from Bundle Stars brings LEGO: The Hobbit and even more Middle-earth games to Windows PC for only $9.99 / £7.79 / €9.79.
I've been reading a lot of good press about this game lately. But I've been gaming for a pretty long time, and I like to think my tastes have refined moderately well over the centuries, and to me it doesn't look all that promising.
I think I'll wait a month or so for the more objective opinions to roll in. It's sickening how clearly game criticism is divided between pre-and-of-release period writing and post-release period writing.
at least a few reviewers recognize a good game :) ... must buy for me ...
The Steam user review for this game have been totally meh. The worst offense being not able to control the AI's inventory until you exit out of the current game which is totally stupid.
