- The Lord of the Rings: War in the North: The Kotaku Review - 8 November 2011
Why didn't Gandalf have his giant eagle friends drop the One Ring into the fires of Mount Doom and be done with it? This is a question I've jokingly put forth to fans of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy over the years, endlessly amused by the (often angry) responses it generates. "The eagles' primitive brains would be overwhelmed by the evil power!" they would answer. "The poisonous gasses from the volcano would kill them if they tried," or "They were neutral in the battle and wouldn't commit to aiding any one side," the fans would offer, attempting to explain away what to many seems like a massive plot hole. The truth is Tolkien doesn't need his fans to rise to his defense; I know the answer to the question. If The Lord of the Rings were the simple tale of an evil ring and a volcano, then yes, having a bird arrange a hasty meeting between the two would make sense. This is…
- Sixty Get the Axe at Warner Bros.' Lord of the Rings Operation - 5 November 2011
Following big releases, the quality assurance staff usually gets axed. That appears to be the case in the laying off of about 60 from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The publisher confirmed pink slips were given, but not the number. The layoffs hit WBIE's Seattle operations, comprising the Snowblind, Monolith and Surreal studios. Snowblind developed The Lord of the Rings: War in the North , which released on Tuesday. A statement from WBIE made it sound like the layoffs were routine, which it certainly is within the industry. "As part of the continual review of our business operations and fluctuating market conditions, we have had to make reductions in our WB Games Seattle workforce," a spokesman told Kotaku. They didn't specify what types of jobs were lost. Among current projects at WBIE's Seattle division, Monolith is working on Gotham City Impostors . You can contact Owen Good…
- Should You Buy The Lord of the Rings: War in the North? Yes. - 2 November 2011
Just when we thought we'd seen all there is to see in the world of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings saga, Snowblind Studios goes and writes an entirely new adventure, chronicling the goings on in the North while Sauron's eye was focused on Frodo and friends. Should you lend it your bow, or give it the axe? Michael Fahey, who is cool on Tolkien but hot on action role-playing games: When Snowblind Studios and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced The Lord of the Rings: War in the North was in development, the action role-playing aficionado in me squealed like a little girl getting a new pony. Nothing gets me going like a good old hack-and-slash action RPG, and having developer Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and both Champions of Norrath titles for the PlayStation 2, Snowblind had established itself as the action RPG developer to beat. That doesn't mean I wasn't worried about th…

- An Innocent Sandwich Died to Create Weapons for The Lord of the Rings: War in the North - 12 May 2011
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North developer Snowblind Studios takes its weapon creating seriously in this behind-the-scenes video, and an innocent lunchtime treat gives its life for the greater good.
- This Is The Bloodiest Lord Of The Rings Game Ever - 13 April 2011
One would assume that cutting your way through countless orcs would leave your clothes rather messy. Snowblind Studios, the developer of The Lord of the Rings: War in the North makes that happen in what looks to be the most violent game the fantasy series has ever seen. Gore spattered dwarves and elves are nothing new to players of games like Dragon Age, but Lord of the Rings games generally shy away from getting down and dirty when it comes to the wholesale slaughter of evil minions. Not so with The Lord of the Rings: War in the North. If you make it through a battle without a drop of thick black blood on your adventuring gear, you probably did something wrong. It's so gory it's likely to be the first M-rated game in the series. That Snowblind has managed this without resorting to flashing elf breasts is a fact that makes me both happy and sad at the same time. The Lord of the Rings: W…
