If this the trailer from last night's GTTV, then let me know when we get some actual gameplay. I'm not familiar enough with MOBAs to imagine what it will play like.

Guardians of Middle Earth trailer sold me on a LoTR MOBA
The MOBA genre has seen a significant rise in popularity over the last few months and with Dota 2 and Blizzard Dota on their way fans of the once niche game will soon have even more options for their 5-on-5 strategy action. Warner Brothers have decided to throw their proverbial hat in the ring with Guardians of Middle Earth based on the Lord of the Rings mythos, and we've got the new trailer in all of it's good vs. evil glory. Sadly, evil's never allowed to come out on top. Guardians of Middle Earth isn't the first MOBA to grace the console space, but it's still a relatively untouched market and it does come bearing Tolkien's beloved license so I'm sure it'll find its fanbase. After all, I've yet to grow tired of the genre so if ever there was a time to release a licensed entry to the niche, it's probably now, before we're all sick of it. Did you know?

If this the trailer from last night's GTTV, then let me know when we get some actual gameplay. I'm not familiar enough with MOBAs to imagine what it will play like. I really hope that first armored evil dude is not supposed to be the Witch-King. Would be a bloody shame to discard his movie design like that. Gollum's gameplay will be based on conversation wheels between his multiple personalities. his ulti will let him bite fingers off his foes. if you save up enough to buy his precious, then he hides under the map the rest of the match. 6:30 PM on 04.24.2013 Lord of the Rings Online expansion goes to Helm's DeepTurbine is continuing The Lord of the Rings Online with yet another expansion, and it's one that was bound to come up sooner or later: Helm's Deep.
