Destructoid scored an exclusive trailer (for the next 24 hours or so) from the Snowblind developed Lord of the Rings: War in the North. If you want to check it out, please head on over there and gaze at the ARPGAWESOME.

No gameplay... how sad.

Oi.
I'm sick of LotR games. I'd buy a title set in the first or second ages...but this third age LotR stuff is beyond old.

Snowblind is awesome and like the Norrath games, the LOTR license is likely just being used for name recognition.

ummm, wtf is some random young looking human doing wielding magic? This isn't the LoTR universe... I'll pass.

Cool, I've been waiting for the next Gauntlet to come out for ages.

I'm sure they'll have some bullshit reason for it, but what it really comes down to is to attract the "I wan 2 play gendolf" kids.

Ha, at least they made the Legolas-clone an actual woman this time instead of just looking like one :P

As for the Wizard, the Coucil of Nine has, ya know, Nine members. That's kind of where the name comes from. Gandalf isn't the long mage-type. And they do need to replace the seat vacated by Saruman.

Raaarrrr! I had it wrong, dunno where that's from, I think I'm thinking of the White Council which has nine members, apparently.
