Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar: The Official Strategy Guide (Prima Official Game Guides) - Mike Searle

Lord of the Rings Online: Excellent Game for Storylines

Advantages: Fun, Good Storyline, Friendly Community, Good quest based play
Disadvantages: Not for hardcore PVP players

As you can imagine with a game based on such a good book, the Lord of the Rings Online is a fantastically immersive game.

There is an incredibly large player base on this game, making it relatively easy to find groups for tougher quests. The three man group quests add a nice touch. This game beats most, if not all, MMO's for solo and quest-based plays. It does have a PVP element which is very different to most games. Playing as the forces of Sauron, you play against high level human players. A force of the free-peoples attempting to drive back player controlled Wargs and Uruk-Hai - Very entertaining.

Review of The Sims 2 Game Strategy Guides

One Ring to Rule them All...

Advantages: Superb Fantasy Universe, Hours of Entertainment
Disadvantages: Hours of Entertainment.... and Hours and Hours

Introduction I have written reviews on a number of MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games) on Ciao and as I have spent the last month playing Lord of the Rings Online I thought it was time for a review. The Concept MMORPGs are computer games set in a persistant world where hundreds of players log on simultaniously and take control of a character. That character undertakes quests and kills monsters to become stronger and more powerful. They 'level up' (up to level 50)gaining new abilities and better items to allow them to undertake more perilous quests and kill stronger monsters.
