The fantasy world created by Tolkien has spawned great titles like Shadows of Mordor and Shadows of War more recently and brilliant RTS’s like The Battle for Middle Earth among many others, but of course there are always more to come. space in the library for another game from this magical universe.
While waiting for this future and promising delivery, we will be able to entertain ourselves with The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, from Deadalic Entertainment, The Lord of the Rings: Heroes of Middle-earth and The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria from North Beach Games,
