Middle-earth Shadow of Mordor

Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor Review

Today we shall look at a fun, but slightly flawed game, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor. Middle-Earth is an action adventure RPG romp into the universe of the Lord of the Rings. With that established and without further adieu, let’s get this show on the road. I believe that I have stated on numerous occasions that am not the most picky when it comes to graphics.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Review

I am a huge fan of the Assassin’s Creed games so admittedly I approach these games with a healthy benefit of the doubt and positive bias in place.
