A major-minor loop chip design is presented which requires one high resolution masking step and no critical mask alignments. This design may therefore be implemented with electron-beam, X-ray, or deep-UV conformable-contact lithography to define the submicron linewidths required in ultra-high density devices. Chips with 20-μm period were fabricated with a layered Au-first, NiFe-second structure in a design which provided 6 percent overall margins; substitution of an improved merge component would allow a 10 percent margin overlap of all functions. Tests of components with 8 μm periods show margins of similar percentage values. Current requirements for the devices are low (10 mA for 8 μm period) so that the designs appear extendable to much higher densities.

J.J. Redick back for Clippers
LOS ANGELES -- Clippers guard J.J. Redick made his preseason debut Wednesday night against the Utah Jazz, playing 20 minutes and scoring 14 points in the Clippers' 103-99 win.
Redick returned to practice this week after missing the previous two weeks with a left quad contusion. Redick said his plan was to return to action Friday for the Clippers' last preseason game, but after going through practice Monday and Tuesday, he was ready to return to the court, according to Clippers coach Doc Rivers.
More on the Clippers
For more news, notes and analysis of the L.A. Clippers, check out the Clippers Report. Blog
"He had two really good days of practice," Rivers said before the game. "[He] probably did more than we thought. Going into practice, they said he would only go about half, and he went through the entire session. They both were very competitive sessions, so that was good for him."
Redick said he suffered the contusion on the first day of training camp and that during the last practice of training camp, it got to the point that he couldn't play. An MRI revealed a partial tear of the muscle.
"It wasn't serious but significant enough where two weeks of rest was the required time off," Redick said. "It wasn't just a thigh bruise. I probably would have been able to play through that."
He was signed and traded to the Clippers in July in a three-team deal, and is projected to start in the backcourt alongside Chris Paul.
"He's such a pro, so he's going to give you automatic energy," Rivers said. "No one wants to guard him because he never stops moving, and that in itself is an offense for us at times. So I'm really just curious to see how that looks. He's smaller, so defensively I'm curious to see how that looks. ... We'll see. I like it. I like him on the floor. It looks good."
Clippers rookie forward Reggie Bullock also was cleared for his first preseason game after missing most of training camp with a sore right knee. He played six scoreless minutes. Clippers forward Matt Barnes, however, was still sidelined with a sore left calf, but Rivers hopes to have him back on the court by Friday.
"He really hasn't gone into competition at all," Rivers said of Barnes. "We're hoping tomorrow, and if not tomorrow, we'll have three days before the first game."

My girlfriend likes to make-out with lotsa guys at once. How to cope?
I have been dating a 28year old lady for few weeks. Recently she has opened up to me and informed me about her passion for semen. I did not know that she had such deep cravings for it. She compares it to sweetest chocolate and has told me that she can't get enough of it. She wants to play with it , feel it all over her body. She has a fantasy of getting showered in semen by a number of men all cumming over her together. I am not a kind of guy that likes to share my girl, however I would like her to have her dream wish come true. She has even suggested that I collect my semen for her in a large bottle and fill it up for her to pour over herself like bath-oil. How many ladies can relate to this ? Any advice for her and for me please ?

Ashtanga teacher Tim Miller often begins his classes by chanting yoga sutras in Sanskrit and ends them by reading poetry while the class rests in Savasana (Corpse Pose). He frequently treats his students to selections from Jonathan Star's Rumi: In the Arms of the Beloved. Miller's picks include T.K.V. Desikachar's Health, Healing and Beyond: Yoga and the Living Tradition of Krishnamacharya, the story of the influential Indian master who taught many of the world's most renowned living yoga teachers. For morning illumination, he's reads Saint Germain on Alchemy, and "for fun" he picks up Tom Robbins' latest novel, Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates. This popular instructor, one of the first to bring Ashtanga Yoga to the United States, is particularly entranced by ancient Hindu epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata, which he rereads about once a year. This comes as no surprise to his faithful students, who occasionally sit for long periods of time with their legs in the splits while their teacher launches into the long and rambling myth of the pose's namesake, the monkey god Hanuman.

Sportsmen's groups today praised an announced settlement with the Bureau of Land Management and energy lease holders that includes several measures to help protect the Roan Plateau, a backcountry area prized as a fish and wildlife oasis and a cornerstone of the area's economy.

John Gale, the National Wildlife Federation's sportsmen's campaign manager said Thursday that S. 841, the Hermosa Creek Watershed Protection Act, represents years of works from the ground up on a plan that will ensure the area in the San Juan National Forest will be conserved for generations to come.

"Great hunting and fishing for America's 47 million sportsmen and women starts with clean water," said Jimmy Hague, director of the center for water resources at the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. "The process the EPA and the Corps have started to clarify clean water protections is a once-in-a-generation chance to ensure we can pass on our outdoor legacy to our children. Today's letter reflects the widespread urgency in the sporting community to seize that chance."

Towering over the rest of Greek tragedy, these three plays are among the most enduring and timeless dramas ever written. Robert Fagles' translation conveys all of Sophocles' lucidity and power: the cut and thrust of his dialogue, his ironic edge, the surge and majesty of his choruses and, above all, the agonies and triumphs of his characters.

[Dtoid community blogger Genki-JAM shares an awesome story about his time with Shadow of Mordor's "Nemesis System", and holy shit do I want to play this game now! Warning: Minor spoilers below. Want to see your own stuff appear on the front page? Go write something! --Mr Andy Dixon]

I have a story to tell you all. This is about my time playing Shadow of Mordor. After playing it off and on over the course of 27 hours spread across four weeks, I finally finished the game last night. My story is a bit long, but I think it's a story worth telling.

First, an explanation. Shadow of Mordor has this thing called the "Nemesis System." This system allows you to create relationships with the various orcs you kill or are killed by. If they kill you, they get promotions, get stronger, etc. and are placed on a board of various orc captains.

Also, in this game's story, you're basically a zombie. You're already dead, so when you die, you just come back and everyone remembers you and what you did. There aren't any "game overs." The game will just get harder for you because the orcs level up.

Now, with that explanation out of the way, let's get into our story...

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor was reminiscent of a summer blockbuster, keeping me on seat's edge throughout, only to be virtually forgotten upon seeing the credits roll. But say you're still under its spell, well, perhaps Warner Bros. can interest you in the "Lord of the Hunt" expansion.

The upcoming downloadable content pack sees Sauron set loose a bunch of beastmaster warchiefs with designs on exterminating the monsters of Mordor for some reason. Of course, Talion and dwarven hunter buddy Torvin won't have any of that, and bloodshed ensues.

The publisher vaunts a list of new features, including new story, enemies, monsters, missions, and clothing for Talion. Really, though, it all pales in comparison to that vomiting graug.

Monolith has released a free Power of Shadow DLC pack for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor on Steam, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. Most notably, it includes an alternate costume for Talion that resembles the Black Hand of Sauron. Epic Runes are included as well:

One with Nature – Immunity to Poison attacks from Uruk Captains or Ghuls.

Ascendant – Double Focus Time for slow motion Ranged combat.

Elven Grace – Increased defense which halves the damage of enemy strikes.

More clothing options are good if, like Steven, you want to live out matchmaking fantasies or, similar to Nic, you want to become the Dracula of Middle-earth. (I love these guys.)

I'm holding off on Shadow of Mordor until the holiday break, I think. This seems like something I'll want to dig into for a week straight and never touch again. Ever do that?

Deals brought to you by the crew at Dealzon. FYI: sales from certain retailers go toward supporting Destructoid. Spot something good that we didn't see? Let us know and we'll add it! Post formatting is a work in progress, so suggestions are welcomed.

Ring in the weekend with a plethora of gaming deals. With all the money saved, you'll be able to buy even more games (that you'll never get around to playing). That's uh, totally how saving money works, right?

Released earlier this week, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel digital download is discounted to $48. This is a Steam Play title, so it'll work on PC, Mac, and Linux. Beyond what we've listed below, there are several alternate deals available for the game here (including the Season Pass).

The late September release Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor on the PC is also discounted by 27% off at GMG. This deal runs through Monday, October 20th at 8 am PT. Solid deal for a two week old game.

Mordor may not have the most picturesque landscapes in Middle-earth, but that hasn't stopped Monolith from kitting out its new action game with a photo mode.

The addition allows you to take dramatic shots of Talion stabbing Uruk-Hai in the face. Also, the gut. And whatever other body parts folks may want to hack at or lop off. It's not like there's a lot else to do in Shadow of Mordor, you know. So, uh, get cracking. Some skulls, I mean.

I was reading Weird Dad Andy Astruc's loving look at Shadow of Mordor's menus, which is basically praise for Mordor's Nemesis system. The same system left our own Nic Rowen giddy and, uh, shitfaced. Nemesis' mechanics, with its ironed out Final Fantasy XII target lines and mind control induced revolt, ties neatly into Mordor's story as you set about rounding up an army and organizing a coup d'état.

And playing insurrectionist is fun. It's fun for the personal stories that can come of it, like Nic's. It's fun for the neatly designed system that makes you feel grand orchestrator parallel to individual acts of [Peter Frampton talk box voice] assuming direct control. But then you leave that cool little laser sight trisected screen and have to Assassin's Creed yourself over to the next random bit of Middle-earth, Red Dead some local fauna along the way, and then Batman counter a bunch of uggos. Because, as Chris Carter noted in his review, the Nemesis mechanic is the only original bit in an otherwise standardized, cannibalized game.

Yes; slick, competently made. Maybe even fun. But still cannibalized, standardized.

It's bad enough dying a humiliating death at the hands of some random orc, but "Azdush the Dung Collector?" Really? He couldn't have been "Azdush the Shield Breaker" or "Azdush the Invincible?"

I could have taken a bit of consolation dying to someone with a straight-up badass name like that. But The Dung Collector? I knew I'd never live it down, and his constant taunting certainly made sure of that.

Max and I decided it would be a good idea to shoot a playthrough of the opening chunk of the new Tolkien-verse action game, Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor. As we got further into it, we realized that Shadow of Mordor is some of the most goddamn fun we've had in a game in a while. Above is the first video in our series. You can watch through the whole playlist if you want to see for yourself how badass this game is.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor's doing mostly fine from the reviews that came out last week, but that doesn't mean that you will like it. How can you like a game if you haven't played it yet? You can't, plain and simple.

But, that's not stopping Warner Bros. from putting out a trailer telling you about all of the supplement content you could soon purchase for Shadow of Mordor -- a game that you almost certainly have not played yet. Look, publishers -- we all know that you have this stuff lined up for months before release, but can you just hold off until at least a few days after the game comes out? It's slightly less embarrassing that way.

Like Max, I didn't know what to make of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor but taking a guarded approach has paid off -- the reviews are in and they're overwhelmingly positive. Nice surprise!

Still not sure I'll rush out to grab the game at launch on Tuesday -- I've got my hands full, as I'm sure many of you will shortly -- but it's much higher on my to-play list after this week.

Developing a licensed game can be extremely difficult. Not only does Monolith Productions have the Lord of the Rings film series to honor with Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, but the developer also has to work in many aspects of Tolkien's other works to weave together a story that calls from multiple sources.

In that regard Monolith has succeeded in creating something believable, but in the process, the game itself didn't receive as much attention.

Like a Balrog vanquished to the depths from whence it came, Warner Bros. took a good look at the legacy console adaptions of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and declared "You shall not pass!" At least, not for a few more months.

Warner Bros. announced this morning that the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Shadow of Mordor will release on November 18 in the Americas and November 21 in the United Kingdom. They were originally slated to hit shelves alongside the Xbox One and PS4 versions on September 30 and October 3 in the US and UK, respectively. For anyone on legacy consoles, those pesky orcs will just have to go unbashed for a little while longer.

[Writers Note: The original story was amended because of number of factual inaccuracies. My sincerest apologies to anyone who was confused by the original article.]

It won't be long now until Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is released. Here at PAX Prime, we've been afforded one last look at the game, and while Alessandro and Dale covered the gameplay nitty gritty of the Nemesis system and Assassins Creed style traversal, we've finally been given a short, albeit sweet look at the game's campaign mode.

Monolith is digging deep to tell the lesser known tales of Tolkien's universe. Get ready for a lot of nerd speak.

Warner Bros. Interactive has just confirmed to Destructoid that Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor will be getting a Season Pass. Strangely enough no price has been announced, but here's what it will grant you: the "Guardians of the Flaming Eye" Orc Warband mission, the "Trials of War" challenge series, "two all new story missions," and "access to future content."

In terms of story levels you'll get the "Lord of the Hunt" and "The Bright Lord" missions -- the latter of which will allow you to play as an Elven Smith. The "future content" will include bits like runes, skins, and other extras. In summation, it looks like all of the add-ons include one side-mission, some challenge maps, two story missions, and minor character upgrades.

Honestly, Season Passes don't bother me provided the fact that the core game can deliver on its own merits. We'll see about that when it comes to Mordor in September.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor has gotten a lot of people excited because of its seemingly great combat and interesting reputation system but is it me, or does it just look like a generic dark fantasy game? I'll be honest, my Middle-earth knowledge is lacking but there's nothing very "Lord of the Rings"-y about this trailer.

Still proof is in the pudding as they say and if Shadow of Mordor is a fun game, then I'll be giving it a go, Hobbits or not, on October 3.

You might've thought that Orcs were all fleshy and a good ol'-fashioned sword through the squishy parts would be enough to take care of them. False. Some might fall to the blade, but you'll need something decidedly more cerebral to handle the others.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor's Wriath has the abilities for the job. The Wraith gives the Ranger the ability to get inside the heads of his enemies to understand their strengths and fears. Exploiting this might render your weapon wholly unnecessary in certain situations; after all, why go through the work of fighting something if it'll just run itself off a cliff in a fit of terror?

October is going to be ridiculously packed with high-profile videogames, so the news that Warner Bros. has decided to fast-track Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor's release from October 7 to September 30 is certainly welcomed. It's only a week, but hey, anything to space out that madness.

WB isn't the only publisher playing musical chairs with October release dates. EA recently pushed back Dragon Age: Inquisition by a month and Battlefield Hardline until 2015. Of course, in the case of Shadow of Mordor, we get one of the best looking upcoming titles and we get it a week early. I think that qualifies as a win-win.

We spend so much of our lives working. When I die, if there's some sort of afterlife, I want to just chill out. Make it look like a never-ending Corona commercial or something. Doesn't that sound nice?

That's not a position that Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor's Talion is in, however. After the Ranger of the Black Gate was killed by Sauron's forces, he was resurrected, and the Gravewalker has a thirst for vengeance -- a thirst that can only be quenched by sticking swords and arrows in men and orcs, alike.

Our first hands-on session with Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor had me going up against some orc bodyguards to take out their boss, a war chief. If you recall from my preview, there was one orc that escaped me. His name? Rûg Learned Scribe.

What's neat about Shadow of Mordor is that its Nemesis system makes it so that the war chiefs are unique to your game. Knowing this, taking out Rûg once and for all would be that much sweeter.

The bastard delivered this message to me yesterday: "Dear Gravewalker. Let me just congratulate you on your spectacular spree of slaughter. I'm sure there's many deserving Uruks you'd much rather come after than me. Have a nice day. Yours truly. Rûg Learned Scribe."

He sounds like a wuss, right? Just when I was about to write him off, WB sent me this video message from Rûg. He's talkin' smack!

But I have an advantage he doesn't expect -- his stats. WB also sent along his strengths and weaknesses, all of which were also dynamically generated by the game's Nemesys system.

It seems like I'll be able to seek my revenge at E3, and it looks like stealth is the way to go. Stay tuned.

Warner Bros. has released LEGO: The Hobbit to retailers in North America today, with a European release coming on April 11. As one might expect, new marketing materials have been released for the game, including the above launch trailer.

There was once a part of me that was pretty disappointed when the LEGO game franchise implemented full voice acting for the characters. The non-verbal communication techniques used in earlier games always struck a chord with me, and their comic effect was exploited to great success. That said, I'm over it. The voice-over work is just great in this, and I'm not looking back anymore.

It's been awhile since we last heard from Monolith's new action-adventure title set in Tolkien's fantasy universe. Now, WB Games has revealed the release date, and fans will get to experience Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor later this year on October 7. And with most upcoming releases, we got to see some pre-order bonuses as well.

We also got a brand new trailer giving a little more back story on Talion's motive for revenge, and what exactly brought him back to life. The story was written by Christian Cantamessa, who also penned the story for Red Dead Redemption, and the folks at Monolith were keen to make the narrative a big focus of Middle-earth.

October is going to be a pretty busy month for movie/comic game. With Alien: Isolation set for release on the same day as Middle-earth, and the new Batman: Arkham title the week after, people are going to have to make some tough decisions on which game they'll spend their time with. But regardless, it'll be an exciting month for fans no doubt.

If somehow you still have yet to get a PlayStation 3 and also happen to really love The Hobbit and LEGO, then you're in luck. A new PlayStation 3 bundle is on the way that will pack in LEGO The Hobbit. It'll be a 500GB PS3 system, and will come out this Spring for $269.

Kind of impressed there's still a market for any sort of last-gen console bundle.

One of the big talking points for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor has been developer Monolith's Nemesis system, which involves procedural generation of orcs ranging from their fighting styles to their individual rank and role to their personalities. I'm skeptical it'll truly have that much of an impact after the novelty wares off, but it's something. Well, on PS4 and Xbox One it is. Don't expect exact parity between those versions and last-gen.

Speaking to IGN, design director Michael de Plater summed up development: "We're focusing on the [current-gen] platforms, and then going to do whatever we can to get as much as possible on [last-gen]. To break it down, some of the stuff we're pretty confident will still be very similar on current gen: the core mechanics, like combat, stealth, ranged and movements; the basic control and gameplay, that should all be really solid. What it won't have is the same level of depth and variety and simulation within the Nemesis system."

According to de Plater, Nemesis is "just so huge in terms of content, calculations, and AI we'll just have to try and get as much of it in as we can." Heh, I'm thinking about Resident Evil again. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy devs are still supporting older consoles in the short term -- but I'm ready to see more games that are solely concerned with the latest hardware.

Here's Max to cap off the week of videogame news. He claims his laptop battery is almost out of juice but I think he just wanted to get the weekend started early. I'd have done the same thing.

The new Thief and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, two games that have experienced their fair share of criticism from fans of those properties, got the preview treatment. We also saw trailers for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, The Elder Scrolls Online's packed voice cast, and Jazzpunk. That last one will rank among the year's best game trailers, mark my words. Whoa.

More than anything, I'm pleased to hear that Max agrees with me about the stupidity of the name "The Golf Club." Take that, Steven! And bring your puns with you.

My initial reaction after hearing about Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and seeing this eight minutes or so of footage was that it's a shame Monolith didn't come with an original setting. Even if you aren't a diehard Tolkien fan, you'll quickly see what I mean.

Putting those source-material concerns aside, as an open-world action game, I like the look of this. I'm skeptical about the procedurally-generated enemies holding up long-term as those systems can be tricky to get right, but the combat looks like decent fun and ability to see the leadership structure of the orcs is a novel mechanic. In other words, I need more to go on.

Whenever games tied to a major license are announced, there's usually a collective grumble from fans. Titles based on movies, television, or comics usually don't end up well, as most of the time they're developing with the focus on the brand as opposed to the game itself. With the announcement of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor back in November, many fans were taken aback by its seemingly loose interpretation of J.R.R. Tolkien's fiction.

But of course, you can chalk this up to pre-emptive nervousness considering the franchise's history in gaming. Which is totally understandable. But things now appear to be different, and this new sandbox action title from Monolith -- the developers of F.E.A.R, No One Lives Forever, and Condemned -- plans to take a fresh approach to making a game with Tolkien's lore.

During a private presentation of the game, Destructoid got the chance to check out a lengthy look at the game that represents a vertical slice of what the developers at Monolith have planned for their next foray into Middle-earth.

Renewing licenses can be tricky, and in the case of Lord of the Rings Online, fans were nervous that they wouldn't get to keep playing the game for much longer. A recent scare happened when Massively reported that LOTRO had no further plans for merging servers, and many speculated that the game would shut down in the near future.

At that point community manager Rick Heaton stepped in to clarify the situation, stating, "We have said as far back as July of 2013, we plan to support LOTRO for many years to come. I really want to be as clear as possible on this subject to avoid any further confusion or misunderstanding. The license was renewed. We have an agreement that runs through 2017."

Last month, we saw the reveal of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, a new open-world action/RPG set between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. While we didn't get a look of the game, we did learn what to expect of the new open-ended gameplay and the Nemesis system, which can all allow players to shape the course of the events in Mordor and turn normal enemies into potential rivals. Now, the folks at Warner Bros. Games have released a small set of screenshots to show off the new title.

Taking place during a fairly open gap within Tolkien's lore, the developers at Monolith have taken some liberties and risks with the material to tell their own unique story. Players will step into the role of Talion, a resurrected human Ranger who acquires the abilities of a wraith, and goes on a quest to stop of the forces of Sauron as they attempt to overtake the lands of Middle-earth.

While this new title will likely irk some hardcore Tolkien fans, it's certainly got a number of neat ideas going for it. Plus, I've always wanted an open-world action/RPG set within Middle-earth. And no, the MMO doesn't count. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more of Shadow of Mordor.

So yeah, you can now legitimately buy a level 50 boost for your Lord of the Rings Online characters directly from the developers via the MMO's online store until December 19.

They've named it the 'Gift of the Valar' and it'll cost you 4,995 Turbine Points (6,300 TP costs $59.99, and that's the most inexpensive option you'll have if your account is empty). On top of instantly raising the level of your character to 50, the Gift of the Valar also comes with the following in-game items:

A set of level 50 gear

1 Gold piece

An LIXP rune, worth enough XP to bring one LI to level 10

4 ranks of each virtue

The Riding skill

A Dusky Nimblefoot Goat

A 25-stack of food that scales with your level

A 25-stack of Morale and Power potions that scale with your level

5 +100% XP Boosts

A single-use map to Rivendell

25 Mithril Coins

So what's the point of playing to level 50, when you can simply whip out a credit card and skip entire sections of a free-to-play MMO?

It looks like the rumors are true -- Warner Bros. has officially a confirmed LEGO version of The Hobbit, set for a Spring 2014 release. It'll hit the Xbox One, 360, PS4, PS3, Vita, the Wii U, 3DS, and PC/Mac platforms. In other words, it's a typical LEGO release that will most likely be ported to your refrigerator at some point.

Since the second film in the new Jackson trilogy is set for December, the new game will only include story up to that point -- so I guess a sequel is in order to finish out the narrative.

Lord of the Rings Online has a new expansion out today, called Helm's Deep. In addition to being able to take part in the iconic battle, the level cap has been raised to 95, and players will be able to explore new areas of Western Rohan. The base edition for the expansion is $39.99.

Lord of the Rings Online is a really underrated game. For an MMO, it's pretty good, and if you are a fan of Tolkien lore, then it's a wonderland of nerdgasms. The game feels a little dated, but the newer expansions have done a good job of bringing it up to the modern era.

As the second film in The Hobbit trilogy is set to release next month, WB Games is gearing up for its return to Middle-earth. In the upcoming December issue of Game Informer, the publisher lays out its vision for this brand new sandbox action/RPG developed by Monolith, coming to the Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, and PC.

Taking place between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor introduces a brand new character named Talion, a human ranger who is tasked with venturing into the land of Mordor. Although the details are a bit limited, the developers at Monolith state that players will freely explore the dark lands while battling hordes of monsters, and strengthening Talion's abilities. An interesting addition to the game is called the Nemesis system, which plans to bring a new approach to character interaction, battles, and storytelling. In one instance, enemies that escape from battles will return for revenge more powerful than ever.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor looks to be a pretty ambitious title. It's interesting to see Monolith make a game that's not a first-person shooter, and an sandbox action/RPG set in Mordor? Count me in!

Are people still annoyed that Humble Bundle has expanded its scope to feature AAA games? I found the practice a little weird at first, but hey, if it means steep discounts on substantial games and the charity component is in there, I'm not going to object.

The new name-your-price bundle features titles from WB Games: Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, F.E.A.R. 3, and Lord of the Rings: War in the North. Paying above the average price includes two more games, Batman: Arkham City Game of the Year Edition and Scribblenauts Unlimited.

I've been meaning to pick up the first Arkham titles on PC now that Games for Windows Live has been removed. Can't think of a better way to do so.

Coming off of its fifth expansion, Lord of the Rings Online keeps on truckin', and from now until November 17th, you can enjoy a full month of 100% XP boosts. The campaign itself is presumably to slingshot players into the Helm's Deep expansion, which is a pretty smart move for newcomers and veterans alike.

I played a decent amount of LOTRO, and enjoyed it for what it was. At this point there are a ton of other great modern MMOs to choose from, but if you're a big Lord of the Rings fan it couldn't hurt to check it out -- especially since it was one of the first ever MMOs to do free-to-play right.

Monolith took a crack at making a multiplayer online battle arena experience for consoles with Guardians of Middle-earth. It was an admirable attempt -- and I enjoyed the game quite a lot for what it was, which was a trimmed-down take on the genre -- but it simply didn't attract enough players. Waiting in lobbies for ten-plus minutes gets old real fast. And while Guardians wasn't half bad, it certainly wasn't worth constantly waiting around for.

Now, the inevitable is happening: this console-centric MOBA is headed to PC on August 29 by way of Zombie Studios. There are different tiers being offered, but the base game is $14.99 and includes Gandalf, Galadriel, Thráin, Gollum, Hildifons, and Legolas. For the record, there's 36 guardians in total, so it's not the most generous of offers.

What does come as a nice surprise, however, is that players who bought the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 version of Guardians before August 15, 2013 will get the base game for free on PC via download code. I'm hopeful this release can catch on to the point where there's at least a stable community, even if it doesn't become massively successful like its contemporaries.

Turbine is continuing The Lord of the Rings Online with yet another expansion, and it's one that was bound to come up sooner or later: Helm's Deep. Launching this fall, the new content will of course revolve around the famed Battle of Hornburg as well as Edoras and Dunharrow.

Not much else in the way of details was included in the announcement, though the level cap will be getting a bump from 85 up to 95. New skills and updated class specializations were also given a brief mention. While Turbine hasn't come out with a price point for Helm's Deep, based on prior releases, it should presumably be in the neighborhood of forty bucks.

Just a few days after the release of the White Wizard himself, Monolith has today launched yet another guardian for its console MOBA Guardians of Middle-earth.

Unglob is classed as a Striker and her abilities certainly seem to back that up. There's one ability (they can all be viewed below) in particular that sticks out for me -- Bite. Not only does Bite have a lifesteal and damage effect, but it also stuns the target.

Monolith has also launched a free Mirkwood map skin, which is nice.

Guardians of Middle-earth, Monolith's MOBA which launched on consoles last December, has had yet another downloadable guardian released. This time around, it's Saruman the White.

Saruman servers as an Enchanter and has some rather nifty abilities including Focused Magic which stuns nearby enemy guardians and Burst Shield which explodes over an area, silencing as well as causing damage to nearby enemies.

For those playing Guardians of Middle-earth, how are you finding things so far? Will you be picking up Saruman?

Monolith may be drip-feeding its MOBA DLC to their customers, but for those avid Guardians of Middle-earth fans, a new character is about to enter the battle.

The newest addition to Guardians roaster is Gloin, father of Gimli and one of the 12 on the quest to reclaim Erebor. As the trailer showcases, Gloin means business with that fiery axe, fantastic beard, and trademark Dwarf bravado. As an added bonus, PlayStation Plus members can receive Gloin for free from February 4 to March 4.

Hopefully the promo will give the game a nice boost, because it really is worth checking out for a few hours. (And possibly many, many more.)

Rounding out the list, Plus subscribers can also save on the remake of Karateka ($5.00), a procedurally-generated shoot-'em-up called Big Sky Infinity with PS3/Vita cross-buy functionality ($5.99), and the exploration-centric Knytt Underground ($5.00).

I've read your complaints about my Guardians of Middle-earth impressions post.

To coincide with the release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, WB Games and Monolith have added some new faces to its Tolkien-centric MOBA. Both Bilbo Baggins and Bert the Troll are available now as playable Guardians, as well as a free new map skin based on The Shire.

As you can see from the trailer, Bilbo is one fast and sneaky little Striker, but I still find it a little hard to categorize the lumbering and dim-witted Stone Troll as a Tactician, at least in the classical sense. If you're looking to get your console MOBA on, and get your Hobbit fix all in one, look no further. Each character pack is available now on Xbox Live and PSN, for 160 MS Points and $1.99, respectively.

MOBA and LOTR: two four-letter acronyms that mean nothing to most people but a whole lot to some. Warner Bros. Interactive is hoping that there is overlap between the two and that this overlap will occur on consoles, where massive online battle arenas (derp). or MOBAs, have yet to make a splash.

So, it's fair to say Guardians of Middle-earth has a lot riding on it. And yet, it's been tossed into the cold winter by its publisher, with less fanfare than Denny's Hobbit-themed menus. Is there a good reason for this? No, there really isn't. Read on to find out why.

If you've been eagerly awaiting Monolith's upcoming MOBA-inspired Guardians of Middle-earth, then you'll be happy to know the game will be available on PSN on Tuesday this week, with its XBLA debut on Wednesday.

The matching of League of Legends/DOTA 2 style gameplay with the rich catalog of heroes from JRR Tolkien's books does seem interesting. I'll be curious to see how a licensed MOBA title sells, especially one that's released purely for consoles. If Guardians of Middle-earth is a hit, I can see publishers chasing after a slice of that MOBA market.

With the Tolkien-inspired MOBA, Guardians of Middle-earth, launching next month on XBLA and PSN, its high time we find out a bit more about a couple of the 20 or so characters at players' disposal. Haldir is the elf who brought the Fellowship to Lothlorien in the books, but in Guardians he's more a man of action rather than a tour guide. Stealth, jumping about, using a bow, he's an elf alright.

His villainous counterpart, Lugbol, is clearly the superior character, regardless of stats, facts, or your wrong opinions. He's a sorcerous goblin with a wolf chum. The guy floats. Some blonde elf chap, or a flying goblin who shoots fire from his hands? It's no contest.

Also, and more importantly, you can win a life sized statue of Gandalf if you go onto the Facebook page and participate in the ritual of social networking or something. No doubt whatever it is, it's worth it for a massive statue of one of the most bad ass wizards of all time. Top ten, at least.

In case you have no idea what to expect from a LEGO game these days (aka fun), you can try the LEGO Lord of the Rings demo on the Xbox 360 and PS3.

If you have kids, or a significant other who enjoys gaming, I suggest you get to your nearest console of choice and try the demo, as you'll most likely enjoy it. For my console-less mellons, a demo was previously released for the 3DS as well, so there's that.

Whatever your platform of choice is, go kill some Cave Trolls and make the world a better place.

LEGO The Lord of the Rings released today for DS, 3DS, and PlayStation Vita (pictured above). While TT Games has done well for itself on handheld systems, the studio's LEGO titles have always seemed best played on consoles to me. The PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360, and PC versions of the game are scheduled to arrive on November 13, 2012 should you happen to agree.

Despite being very tempted by a few of the countless other LEGO games to come before this release and not being a LOTR superfan, something tells me this might just be the one. The scale of it all in particular seems promising. Are any of you in a similar position?

If you've been looking for a reason to venture back into the lands of Middle Earth, or are just looking to pass the time before the next Peter Jackson film, Turbine has got you covered. Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment has released the fourth expansion to its free-to-play MMO The Lord of the Ring Online, entitled Riders of Rohan.

This expansion includes the large plains of Eastern Rohan to explore for new quests, gear, and glory for yourself and for your King. Turbine has also introduced new mounted combat that can change the flow of larger battles and give players new tactics to utilize in combating the growing evil. The expansion raises the level cap to 85 and continues the story of the Fellowship through to Amon Hen, sadly without Boromir.

Turbine has done some great work when it comes to The Lord of the Rings Online, and has done its best to keep that level of quality even after shifting to a free-to-play model. But personally, I'm more interested in seeing small blocks of plastic re-enact Peter Jackson's take on Tolkien's fantasy classic.
