 A brand new gameplay video ("Weapons and Runes") has been released for the upcoming video game "Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor". The game will be released on October 7 and will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor delivers a dynamic game environment where the player orchestrates their personal plan of vengeance as they bend Mordor to their will. The game begins on the night of Sauron’s return to Mordor, as his Black Captains brutally execute the Rangers of the Black Gate. Players become Talion, a ranger who loses his family and everything he holds dear, only to be returned from death by a mysterious Spirit of vengeance. As Talion’s personal vendetta unfolds, players uncover the mystery of the Spirit that compels him, discover the origin of the Rings of Power and confront the ultimate nemesis.
The following retailer exclusives will be available:
Amazon – Deadly Archer Rune
Talion will deal extra damage when executing ranged headshots against Sauron’s Captains
Best Buy – Flame of Arnor Rune
Talion can ignite his blade by achieving a high combo count and incinerate his enemies

This isn't usually my kind of game, but I'm really interested to play it. I don't know how much this really fits into the world Tolkien built, but it will still be interesting.

Although I hate that it is set in Mordor and the story sounds too generic fantasy-like, I really do hope it will create more motivation in the gaming industry to produce AAA Middle-eart titles.
I want that "White Council" game EA once started...

We all have our hearts and minds one way or another invested in these books and movies. So we all mind and should show the necessary respect.

I'm half-expecting an animated DTV movie.

Warner Bros. Entertainment has not produced any direct-to-video animated movies for previous Middle-earth video game releases. However, for some reason I almost expect a prequel movie for this game (just as Warner Bros. Animation has Batman: Assault on Arkham, a prequel to the Batman: Arkham games, being released in August). I am a little surprised that we never saw such a promotional project attempted for any of the previous games.

Hope it's as good as it looks.
"It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule." Gandalf, "The Last Debate."
