Guardians of Middle Earth Thrain and Gothmog Trailer

Two new playable-characters have been revealed for the game, Guardians of Middle Earth. Thrain is a good tanking class that also features lots of versatility with his ranged and magic attacks. While on the other hand Gothmog is a purely offensive class with brutal abilities and a focus on high damage output at close melee range.

Guardians of Middle Earth lets players battle it out in different maps based loosely on Tolkien’s universe. Assuming the role of one of over twenty playable heroes and villains from the well-known franchise, players can also team up with one another for jolly cooperation against an enemy. With each character featuring skills and abilities unique to their class, tactical depth is at the fore front of the game.

Guardians of Middle-Earth will be available on December 4th 2012 in retail form (PS3 only) or digitally on the Playstation Network and Xbox Live.

20 New Grand Theft Auto V Screens + More Details

With a second trailer soon to be released in a few days time, hype for Rockstar’s highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto V is no doubt building. Next month’s Game Informer will showcase Grand Theft Auto V in full, yet for those who can’t wait that long, quite a bit of information about the game has leaked out on the internet, along with a bunch of new screen from the game.

Grand Theft Auto V returns to reimagined Los Santos and its surroundings. And from what Rockstar’s said so far it’s going to be huge.

“Larger than the combination of the maps of Red Dead Redemption, GTA IV and San Andreas”

Unlike previous Grand Theft Auto games where you only play as one character, in Grand Theft Auto the three protagonists Franklin, Trevor and Michael are part of the player’s crew and can be swapped on the fly in missions or in free roam.

Expect a lot more Grand Theft Auto V news coming soon, and I’m guessing a lot of these new features will be explained or at least showcased in the hotly anticipated second trailer.
