Opinion: This Just In: People Love The Following Games

Written by Wilhelm2451
I saw over on Sneaky Hobbits that Turbine’s Lord of the Rings Online was the number one entry MMORPG.COM’s user ratings for 2009. That, in and of itself, is not controversial in my mind. LOTRO is a good game built on the hugely popular Middle-earth lore, Turbine has been dedicated to improvin...

Opinion: The Daily Grind: How many MMOs do you play at one time?

18 Aug 2009 06:00:00 PDT

Written by Lesley Smith
MMOs tend to have dedicated fan bases and everyone has their favourite: Aion, City of Heroes, WoW, Guild Wars, Lord of the Rings Online ... the list goes on and on. Everyone has their own personal favourite or the hip one that everyone and their pet goldfish is currently engrossed in. For example...

Opinion: One Grind to Rule them All

23 May 2009 04:51:14 PDT

Written by Chessack
The fact is that by the time I got to level 40, I started to realize that almost all the content in LOTRO is grind-based. The Epic Quests are not, because they are story based, but you only do a few of those relative to all the non-story quests that are just grinds. Let’s look at the kinds of grind in...

Game Review: Lord of the Rings Online

03 May 2009 06:27:45 PDT

Written by Chessack
Clearly, the developers at Turbine set out to re-skin WOW with Middle-Earth. Assuming that was their goal, they succeeded admirably. And as you’ll be able to tell comparing the two reviews, I don’t like the stuff I hated about WOW any better in this game. Their crafting system is laughable;...

In my growing rediscovery of Lord of the Rings Online — which is feeding my malnourished PvE soul in splendid ways — I bumped back into one of the most touted new features when the game released a couple years ago: the music system.

Opinion: LOTRO: living the fanfic dream?

Quick LOTRO update: I think that Lord of the Rings Online is one of those games that you either love or hate. They do some things brilliantly, awesomely, incredibly well … and others are painfully lacklustre. So how you feel about the game will depend very much on:

The next fantasy game I play is in some ways similar to Chroncles of Spellborn - that is Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO). Also fantasty setting with with a beautiful environment and less exciting character models, lots of travel time and a solid backstory and lore. But LOTRO is more familiar...

The circle is now complete. With Turbine's release of Lord of the Rings Online: The Shadows of Angmar (LOTRO), the Massively Mutliplayer game figuratively eats the tail of its originator in ouroboros-like fashion. Tolkien's work begat Dungeons and Dragons, the PC gaming market, CRPGs,...

Written by geldonyetich
Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar has, thus far, failed to hook to me. It is not a bad game, but I’ve already played the fantasy MMORPG genre to death. Turbine has done a fairly good job of rounding up some of the best features of popular MMORPGs, as well as introducing a few new features...

One of the lead perks of alt-i-tus for me is the class balance discussions. I just love to see the interplay of the various professions the developers have designed into the game. Today, I turn my roving eye to the classes of Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar.
