My favorite action game of the last decade and its excellent DLC is now 91% off in this sale

Middle-earth: Shadow of War takes creative liberties with The Lord of the Rings lore while maintaining engaging gameplay. It follows Talion, an undead ranger, as he forges a new Ring of Power, which is seized by Shelob. The game features combat mechanics inspired by the Batman Arkham series and introduces the innovative Nemesis System, which allows players to interact with orc and uruk captains in unique ways. The Definitive Edition includes the base game and expansions, available for .39 / £3.59, representing a 91% discount.

After 3 years of trying, Lord of the Rings Online’s ‘Great Hobbit Run’ ends in confused success as a mob of low-level players gets lost inside Mount Doom and decides it’s close enough: ‘Sauron can kiss my butt!’

The Great Hobbit Run is an event in Lord of the Rings Online initiated by Twitch streamer BurkeBlack, where level one hobbits attempt to sprint from Bilbo Baggins' home to Mount Doom. On July 8, 2025, between 150 and 200 players participated, with 40 to 50 completing the journey despite challenges like time constraints and the threat of death. Upon reaching Mount Doom, participants encountered confusion about the correct path, leading to a celebratory moment but revealing that the mission was not fully accomplished. BurkeBlack plans to host the event again in 2026, aiming for a larger crowd.
