Lord of the Rings LCG Digital Hands On PAX East 2018
A few years ago I came across Fantasy Flight Games’ Lord of the Rings LCG (Living Card Game, is a format of card games with an expanding card pool that is not randomized. Yet the elements of building customized decks is still the core element, but without the gambling aspect of collecting cards that are rarer than others). It drew my attention as it featured one of my favorite fantasy series and u...[Read More]

Lord of the Rings: Guardians of Middle-Earth Coming to XBLA/PSN Autumn
I keep saying this, but I’m not sure it’s been sinking in to all of your zombie-food, so I’m going to say it again. I love The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. I love The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings more than Star Trek, which I love more than Star Wars, which I love more than Deadpool, which I love more than Firefly. I loved War in the North last year, and now, in the lead-...[Read More]
Review: Orcs Must Die! (XBLA)
There are fantasy worlds in which orcs are noble creatures. Valiant, peaceful, and in harmony with nature, these orcs are worthy of respect and admiration.

Orcs Must Die!, as you...[Read More]

Lord of the Rings: Online is Being Set Free
I was never bit by the MMORPG bug in the way most people are. I tried World of Warcraft for a month or two, but eventually got tired of paying a monthly subscription fee just to grind a character. I only started World of Warcraft in the first place because there was a promotion for a free week of play, and I wanted to see what all the hubbub was about. Since that time, I haven’t touched a...[Read More]
