Quantcast



Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest is the first Lord of the Rings game for babies. 

I say this because the title features caricature-like characters that have stumpy little arms, like games for babies tend to have. Also, the game is being positioned as a cooperative experience (you can play as Gandalf alongside Aragorn) that's fun for the whole family. Or two babies. Your call. 

The game is slated for a Spring 2010 release for PlayStation 2, Wii, Nintendo DS, and PlayStation Portable. All jokes aside, it doesn't look that bad -- I'm a big fan of mindless hack and slash games, regardless of how mediocre they are. Plus, that troll totally looks like a baby.

wow...Like Conquest but with a way of appealing to the Legend of Zelda crowd with failure written all over it...

It looks like a mashup of LoTR Return of the King and Hobbit for Gamecube, both of which were highly enjoyable games. Always a fan of the multiplayer hack 'n slashes!

Was I the only one who mistook that screen cap for Chains of Olympus?

The sheer amount of generic in that video left a bad taste in my mouth. It was as if I had seen every frame a thousand times before, in a thousand other 3rd person brawlers and action games. Even his running animation is the same. His fucking running animation.

@SystemJackal that's because it is being released for the PS2.
360 and PS3 aren't getting the game

"...you can play as Gandolf alongside Aragorn..."
Gandolf? GANDOLF! GANDOLF?!?

better fix that before Tolkien fanboys come knocking at your door, those guys make PS3 fanboys look like complete pussies.
