Death Metal – No More Heroes

Despite its cool-ish demeanour and wacky art-style, mastering the controls in No More Heroes takes some time especially when it comes to blocking and charging your weapon. Of course, there’s always the trial by fire option and that’s where Death Metal comes in. As the opening boss, he has lots of health and some amazingly annoying combos. He also creates copies of himself halfway through the fight and blocks every attack that’s not a counter hit. Once you master said mechanics though, he’s relatively easy to take down.

In The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, players can become the heroes in the great battle of the North as part of the epic War of the Ring. Exploring unseen lands, story elements and characters from Middle-earth as well as elements familiar from past feature films, gamers will experience extensive character customization and development, expansive co-op gameplay options and upgradeable weapons, skills and special abilities.

Warner Bros. has released a new video for their upcoming action RPG, Lord of the Rings: War in the North. The video has some of the guys from the development team at Snowblind talking about how co-op gives a whole new colour to the game and makes it a whole lot of fun.

The devs talk about some of the things you can do with friends in the game, and how it actually gives off a feeling as if you’re in a real fellowship in Middle-Earth. Sure sounds interesting. Let’s just hope this quality translates into the game as well as it is in the trailers.

Lord of the Rings: War in the North will release on November 1 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Stay tuned to GB for more updates. You can check out a new video for War in the North here.

To save Middle-earth… you must survive. The stealth and cunning of the human, the strong and true arrows of the Elf, the might and strength of the warrior dwarf — each must rely on the other during this vital mission or face a most certain defeat.

The game is being developed by Snowblind and published by Warner Bros. The game releases this November on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Developed in association with Middle-earth Enterprises, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North explores both original and familiar narrative elements as Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment holds the rights to develop video games based on both the literary and motion picture content from The Lord of the Rings. Breaking new ground as a mature RPG video game set in Middle-earth, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North advances the RPG paradigm through innovative online, interdependent co-op play for up to three players who form their own Fellowship to fight Sauron’s forces in the North.
