Assuming it's allowed, i'll bite.

1. Battle for Middle Earth/2/ROTWK on PC. As a series, man I wasted so many hours playing those games.
2. ROTK/TTT on PS2. Brilliantly executed games.
3. Shadow of Mordor.
4. War in the North.
5. War of the Ring.

I liked War in Middle Earth from 1988... I suspect not many here played that. Or the original The Hobbit game.

Five would be pushing it for me- but Lord of the Rings Online isn't bad, as games of that type go.

Could you tell me a bit more about "War of the Ring"? I've never heard of it.

It was an RTS game, but from what I could tell it was based more on the books than the movies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lo...War_of_the_Ring

It wasn't the most amazing game ever, but it was solid and fun enough.

I tried LOTRO, and ended up feeling terrible when I couldn't get in to it because I like the "look" of the films, and it didn't seem to be in the game at the time.

Nah they don't have the film part of the licence (minus a terrible attempt to match the feel of the LOTR film score for the opening screen- the rest of LOTRO's music isn't bad, but that wasn't a good start).

But aside from aggravating MMO conventions (I shouldn't be fighting large mobs of huorns in the Old Forest and definitely not legions of damn trolls, anywhere!) they've done great work in getting a lot of the style. The landscape and travelling is very good and if you are the type to get 'into' quest text, that's good as well.

I had a clan on LOTRO, I later found out a bunch of the mods from the clan made their own LOTRO forum based on the clan, if I remembered my username or password, I'd come back in a heartbeat.

I usually am. It's just sad that it would take being "in the movies" to drag me away from SWTOR. I only have time to deal with one MMO at a time lol.

nope.
Any sensible human being would find LOTRO more appealing then SWTOR, my friend. SW: Galaxies was far better

laughing out loud

It's a long time since anyone called me sensible, tbh.

Besides, I'm really enjoying how story-driven SWTOR is.

Oh it's certainly SWTOR season right now; LOTRO is on my back burner, but it will gets its chance again. I want to see it through to Mordor.

LOTRO has far funner gameplay, you have an invincible feeling, and the first mission is between you and Strider, you get to fight the Witch-King and Saruman.

GBA ones by Griptonite Games were f*cking perfect.

TTT, TROTK and The Third Age.

1. Return of the King (I had it for Gamecube)
2. Battle for Middle Earth 2
3. Battle for Middle Earth
4. The Two Towers
5. Shadow of Mordor

The Third Age wasn't bad but the ending really ruined the game for me. It was so damn stupid.

Lego Lord of the Rings is best.
