There are few things gamers appreciate more than an adaptation that brings some of their favorite fictional worlds to life. 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.
Middle-earth is in no shortage of amazing interactive games. 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. 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.
