Middle-Earth: Shadows of Mordor

We have seen just within the last couple of weeks the release of a new game based upon the story written and developed by Tolkien in his books, The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

This game follows a storyline which isn't part of the story developed by Tolkien, but it does give you some insight into the world, which is no doubt important for fans of the books.

It follows a ranger of Gondor (the biggest human empire), who was killed, along with his family, and then resurrected by a spirit who grants him the powers of a wraith, so that he can exact revenge on those who killed him and his family, within Mordor, the evil empire ruled by Salron, the master of the ring of power.

In the game you will be able to fight with a few weapons, as well as the mysterious wraith powers that you've acquired. With these tools, you fight to defeat all of your enemies, gain vengeance, and uncover myths of Middle-Earth.
