Of Orcs and Men is a curious title with a pretty epic trailer. It appears to be a take on Of Mice and Men, as it's about two guys on the run.  Those two guys happen to be an orc and a goblin, however.  They also happen to kick a lot of human ass. Check this out, though. They're the heroes of the story, fighting for the freedom of their respective races. It's a neat twist.

The trailer is thoroughly action packed, with lots of medival weaponry and asskicking. Maurice previewed this game with high hopes, and the trailer shows quite a bit of promise.  Of Orcs and Men is slated to release some time in 2012 on the PS3, 360 and PC.

Love that book, and even the inspired movie. Hopefully the game has a lovely story to pair the action and duo.

Great concept, but I can't shake the feeling that this will be a linear hack and slash.

Very interesting concept. I'm intrigued, despite the fact that I hated the book.

Also, hopefully no one gives the orc a bunny, puppy, or other adorable pet.

Nice. Would be great if it went the co-op stealth/action route.

@Vitamin:

The correct phrase is 'interest piqued.' Piqued means stimulated.

@Ben robinson

Or he meant he was at once interested in it and this is as excited as he'll get about the game.

Press RB to tell Orc about 'the rabbits, Goblin'.

So what you're telling me is that, without my knowledge, people were working on a game where you take the role of Orcs and Goblins out to stop all the mistreating that humans have done to them? And that this game will be an action-rpg like thing in which you control a giant orc warrior and/or a rogue goblin?

*clears throat*

Wait, this is based on a book that isn't Lord of the Clans?
