Turbine’s LoTR game happens to be the second of 2007′s MMOGs that we’re dying to leap into. We’ve been big fans of Tolkien’s novel – and videogames – for years and, truth to tell, since the dawn of the MMOG we’ve dreamed of adventuring in a Middle-earth-powered persistent world. Turbine’s experience in the massively multiplayer online gaming genre should, all being well, mean the gameplay and game mechanics are rock solid but the real, real pull for us is the fact that we can team up with other folks and roam the hills and dales of the famous fantasy world.
