Lord of the Rings: War in the North preview

I don't know how this game has passed me by, but if this short trailer is anything to go by i'll certainly be keeping my eyes peeled. LOTR: WITN (that's a mouthful) is a co-op game based in Middle Earth, with you and some buds teaming up as an Elf, a Dwarf and a human, battling it out against all things evil.

Some of the LOTR games have been hit and miss, with my probable favourite being LOTR: The third age, which I loved. I'm going to keep my Sauron's eye on this one....as any game featuring giant eagles taking on trolls is well worth a look.

LOTR: War in the North is scheduled for release in North America in August this year. Xbox 360, PS3 and PC versions confirmed.
