Aragorn might be questing across Middle Earth this year, but next year Lord of the Rings fans get to experience the War in the North. The game is an action RPG that takes place during the historic struggle portrayed in the movies, where you play as one of several side characters fighting on the front lines in an area not explored in the original stories. This trailer doesn't show much gameplay but it's a lot more violent than I ususally expect from the LOTR universe. I wonder what Tolkien would think about where his fantasy series has gone...
