Guardians of Middle-earth
Release / Air date: December 4, 2012
Guardians of Middle-earth incorporates the standard elements of a typical multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game, with a strong emphasis upon team coordination.
Set in the regions of northern Middle-earth, the game focuses on the events of the War in the North. For the sake of gameplay, the game takes several liberties with Tolkien’s works and the film trilogy. Some characters were altered in their appearances, abilities, and roles; for instance, a combat role in the game is given to Tom Bombadil, a merry and mysterious hermit who appears in The Lord of the Rings but does not take part in the war.
Talion, a ranger captain, is part of a Gondor garrison stationed at the Black Gate.
Shadow of War continues the narrative from Shadow of Mordor, following Talion who is still infused with the spirit of the elf lord Celebrimbor. Talion has forged a new Ring of Power, which Celebrimbor believes could be controlled to avoid becoming a Dark Lord and instead become a powerful king.
The player takes the role of a soldier of Rohan, Gondor, Mordor or Isengard, depending on the campaign or side the player chooses. The game is generally objective based, requiring the player to defeat a certain amount of enemies, or hold a position until a timer runs out. 
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North is a role-playing video game based on the events taking place in the northern regions of Middle-earth in the background of the main story of J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, more specifically in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings film trilogy universe.
