And Sauron, enemy of the free peoples of Middle-Earth, was defeated. It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the king, took up his father's sword. Victory was near, but the power of the ring could not be undone. A last alliance of men and elves marched against the armies of Mordor, and on the very slopes of Mount Doom, they fought for the freedom of Middle-Earth. One by one, the free peoples of Middle Earth fell to the power of the Ring. And into this ring he poured all his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret, a master ring, to control all others. But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made. For within these rings was bound the strength and the will to govern over each race. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else desire power. Seven, to the Dwarf Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. Three were given to the Elves immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings.

Galadriel: It all began with the forging of the Great Rings.

Why pour so many resources into developing a game about Gollum - of all characters - when you could do so much with the rest of the Fellowship? Yes, the idea of delving deep into Sauron’s domain and controlling Smeagol is intriguing enough - at least on the surface - but the industry has yet to fully grasp the potential of Tolkien’s expansive mythology. Indeed, we recently broke down a few of the most memorable ones, and the very thought gave us the itch to revisit some of those titles. Middle-earth is in no shortage of amazing interactive games. The Lord of the Rings is exactly one such franchise, and after the disastrous launch of Daedalic’s Gollum game - which not only nosedived critically and financially but also took the studio down with it - Middle-earth enthusiasts are once again pondering if the rolling hills of the Riddermark, the tangled forests of Fangorn, or even the civilized pastures of Gondor would make for another awesome video game experience.

There are few things gamers appreciate more than an adaptation that brings some of their favorite fictional worlds to life.
