Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor looks like everything I have ever wanted- a new video game set in Tokien’s Middle-earth, that uses the license properly, with an attempt to use a video game’s interactivity to further explore the property, as opposed to just using it to cash in quickly to earn some fast money.
The newest trailer, therefore, only makes me happy. The cinematic trailer sets up the tragic story of the Ranger of the Black Gate of Mordor, who was killed, and then resurrected and sent back to Mordor for a misguided quest for vengeance. The trailer expounds on his existence as neither dead nor alive, and his enslavement to Sauron and the dark forces.
If you are a fan of the Lord of the Rings universe, Shadows of Mordor looks great. Even if you are not, it looks like a hell of an action game. We may learn more about it at E3 next week, so stay tuned to GamingBolt.
