    The Lord of the Rings Video Games

    Greedfall 2: The Dying World Announced, Arriving in 2024

    This new RPG will serve as a prequel to the first game.

    In 2019, a rather solid action-RPG called Greedfall was released. The game must have resonated well with fans because Spiders and Focus Home just announced Greedfall 2: The Dying World today.

  • Bungie Stays Resolute in Support of Political Opinions Despite Sony Acquisition

    As PlayStation stays silent, Bungie keeps fighting the good fight.

    Bungie was one of the first game studios to voice their support for the "essential healthcare rights" after a leaked document showed that the United States Supreme Court seeks to overturn Roe v. Wade. On the flip side, Sony's PlayStation department has been just failing spectacularly. In an effort to avoid any sort of controversy, PlayStation has decided that keeping quiet is the best course of action....

    The #SaveRedDeadOnline community have been heard, but to what end?

    Complaints about how Rockstar has seemingly ignored Red Dead Online have not gone unheard. For months now, the Red Dead Online community have been pleading with Rockstar for more significant updates to the game. They see all of the content coming out for Grand Theft Auto Online and feel as though Rockstar has abandoned them for their bigger money maker.

    That much is probably true. GTA Online is a massive...
