Get schooled on Guardians of Middle-earth's classes
Feast your eyes on this, the third episode of the Guardians of Middle-earth tutorial series. This one is all about the five Guardian classes in the multiplayer fantasy romp -- based on archetypes from the books -- and what happens once they get their arse handed to them. Nothing particularly interesting is revealed in the tutorial, let alone anything new or surprising. It's going to take a lot to get me to get off my PC and playing a MOBA on a console; certainly a lot more than attaching it to a popular literary IP. It's launching next month on Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network -- just in time for The Hobbit. Did you know?
