Guardians of Middle Earth
Have you ever wanted to fight a war as a Hobbit? Then you might want to pick up Guardians of Middle Earth, because a new character called Hildifons has just been revealed by Warner Brothers. Perhaps more excitingly, Arathorn, father of Aragorn as well as Sauron were revealed as well.
According to the press release, Hildifons is a warrior Hobbit who uses fire and "sulfuric concoctions" to thwart his enemies and will be useful if a player is trying to secure lanes. Arathorn is a ranger who uses a bow to inflict damage form a distance, but uses a sword to great effect when in close combat. Then of course there is Sauron, who is massive and powerful...I think that is all that needs to be said about him.
There is even more good news, for Hildifons and Sauron will be playable at the 2012 PAX Prime show in Seattle today, so be sure to check out their both if you are there.
Mike previewed the game earlier this month, so be sure to check it out, and if you would like more information head on over to Guardians of Middle Earth's website.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today has released two new Battle Profile gameplay videos for Guardians of Middle-earth. The first Battle Profile features Hildifons, a resourceful Hobbit who can kindle fires and create explosions from almost nothing and Sauron, the ultimate embodiment of evil in Middle-earth.
