Title: Shadow of Mordor
Post by: M on December 28, 2014, 02:50:14 PM
So I must admit I am not the biggest gamer in the world. I only started playing xbox last year after watching my boyfriend play skyrim, I found it super interesting -geek- for me it was a cross between lord of the rings and game of thrones and I loved it! So I started playing, I haven't completed it even though I've been playing so long, I like to take my time, discover everything, look everywhere and do all the side missions as well as the main ones.

Knowing I'm a rather big lotr and the hobbit fan, my boyfriend got me shadow of mordor for Christmas. Bearing in mind it's only the second game I've ever played... I love it!!! Haha completely addicted. Even my boyfriend who doesn't like lotr has started playing it (how anyone can't like lotr however I have no idea!) I was just wondering if there's any other fans out there and what you make of the game? I'm purely a movie fan as I never got round to reading the books, does it appeal to fans of the books too?

I saw you had posted a photo of it and was really interested!
Rather wish I was into XBox and was more serious about gaming!
Looks really good.

It is rather good! Love playing it :)

My only criticism is the loading times but that might be because I play it on 360 and not xbox one.

Still sounds good.
I think the only LOTR game I've played is the play station one for the two towers!
