Here's the story trailer for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, ready to prime you on the adventure you'll take later this year

It looks as if Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is being optimized for next-gen consoles, while the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game are going to have to deal with some minor setbacks.

Being a Wraith-powered assassin, Talion won't be needing any co-op help in Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor.

After watching this eight-minute long gameplay walkthrough of Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, we can't wait to stalk Sauron's forces beyond the black lands.

Kili is a fangirl favorite and one the best archers in Thorin's company of dwarves in The Hobbit. As a new character in Guardians of Middle-earth, Kili will use his superior skill with a bow to bring down even the greatest of foes.

Booya! It's Ring-bearer time, people! Frodo Baggins is the latest addition to the ranks of Guardians of Middle-earth's mighty warriors. This little hobbit may carry the fate of us all, but how does he fare in battle?

Guardians of Middle-earth has a new character for players to use in their assault on enemy teams. This time it's Christopher Lee -- er, we mean Saruman.

There's a new hero coming to Guardians of Middle-Earth! He's known as the son of Groin (go ahead and chuckle; we won't judge), and is part of the company that wants to retake the Misty Mountains. His name rhymes with at least one other dwarf's in the crew and he goes on to father Gimli. Who is he? It's Gloin!

So you want a new character for your favorite Middle-earth multiplayer online battle arena? Well, Radagast the Brown is coming to town!

Hold on to your Bad Ends, Hobbit fans, because Guardians of Middle-earth has another piece of downloadable content with some fan favorite characters.
