Shadow of Mordor

Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor was one of the best games released back in 2014, and received some major accolades from almost every media outlet. Even those who were not crazy about the subject matter and tone of the game, applauded the developers for what they did differently: creating the Nemesis System. At that time, it was hard to imagine Monolith Studios topping what they had done in Shadow of Mordor, but somehow, the seem to have elevated the franchise in almost every single way. For fans of the first title, expect much better things from the sequel!

I loaded up Middle-Earth: Shadow of War for the first time last night thanks to Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment PR in Toronto, Canada, and was wowed from the moment I began exploring areas of Middle Earth.

In a press release from Warner Brothers Interactive, we have learned that the inevitable Game of the Year Edition for Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor will be heading to shelves soon for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Most developers have a problem. It's obvious that either Nolan North or Troy Baker needs to be cast as the male lead, but which one? The creators of Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor have foregone this problem by hiring them both, and have released a story trailer to show off the world which they'll inhabit.

Shadow of Mordor was revealed a few weeks ago for next-gen systems, current-gen systems and PC, and while it sounded pretty damn impressive, there was little to actually judge it by. Other than a few interesting gameplay features that might end up being less impressive than they sound, there wasn't even really a picture. That changed earlier this week when a handful of screens were released, showing off both the player character, his techniques and a handful of enemies.
