In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie, that is where I wish I could be. I would still suffer less there than I have been while playing some of the recent games inspired by Lord of the Rings, like Gollum. As a devoted fan of Tolkien's universe and (almost) everything to come from it, I am beside myself with frustration at how underwhelmed I've been by recent LotR games. There is perhaps no better set of fantasy tales to choose from than Tolkien's for a rich story game, yet so few have taken full advantage of the source material. From LEGO games to technical messes, the history of Lord of the Rings' relationship with videogames is turbulent, to say the least.
